This deposit will go toward your final studio session cost. This deposit is designed to hold the time you chose to book. You will receive a receipt for your deposit. We ask that you come down to the studio for a free tour before working with us on your project. This gives you a chance to hear what we have done for others and place a deposit if you choose to do so.
