Distinctive Aesthetics and Ambiance
The Lumen Room: Known for its bright, airy spaces, The Lumen Room provides a minimalist and clean aesthetic that serves as a blank canvas for creatives.

The Stock & Seed home faces north & south with oversized, picturesque windows covering the walls on both sides, making for a perfect setting for the flood of natural light, without ever having direct sunlight streaming in the windows. Additionally, Stock & Seed offers snacks, drinks, a luscious backyard with a gorgeous pool, as well as a view out to donkeys, chickens, and a beautiful natural landscape all around, making the visit both serene and peaceful for the photographers and clients.
