THE STUDIO

a note from sarah

Calling all dreamers, creatives, artists, leaders, teachers, and photographers in the Central New York area!

Lustre Loft started as a dream, and was created with you in mind. When I first saw this space in June of 2022 in its raw form, I knew I could create something special for the creative community.

Lustre Loft is a space to hold photoshoots, workshops, a space to gather or co work, it's a space that's open to my fellow creative community, whom I've gotten to know through owning my own business. It's a space to collaborate, a space to get ready the morning of a wedding, it's a space to learn new skills at creative workshops, and it's a space to make new friends, and connect with like minded people.

I saw the need for rentable studio space in the Syracuse area, especially during the colder months, and days where CNY weather throws us curveballs! Lustre is a space that you can rely on. It's a space to get creative, make magic and to grow your business or creative passions. I can't wait to see you here. :)

Lustre Loft does not disappoint! The giant windows provide ample lighting even on a cloudy day, + even with sky-high ceilings, the light fixtures are more than enough to light up the space.

With outlets spread throughout, there are many options in the space to "set up shop." There's also a smaller room with mirrors and a vanity, if you prefer a more intimate setting for beauty services. 

Guests can hang out on a few couches, while the kitchenette provides a distinct area for snacking. Lustre Loft provides such a chill vibe for guests while providing a practical work space for both hair and makeup artists.
I was more than impressed and hope to return to Lustre Loft!

Lustre Loft is such a beautiful studio!! It is so bright and spacious leaving lots of room for little ones to run around and have fun! Part of me wishes I was up in Syracuse more often so I could shoot here more! Can't wait to come back and do some more shooting here next time I'm in town! Thank you Sarah for sharing your beautiful space and being so welcoming!

This is a really special place. I needed photos of my craft booth display and was able to set up the full spread in gorgeous natural light with plenty of room. can’t recommend this space enough to anyone needing professional photography (headshots, product shots, you name it, this is the best place to do it). Sarah (owner & photographer) is so kind and talented, and I can’t wait to see the photos she took for me. 10 stars!! You can even rent this space out… and it is so cute, inviting, and inspiring. I’ll be back!

Lustre Loft was the studio space I have always dreamed of with its tall ceilings, white textured walls, and gorgeous original flooring, perfectly lit by natural light thanks to an entire wall of windows.

The space was clean and organized, and had the perfect amount of funky flair that added to the already charming space. Access to the space was a breeze, and the terms of the rental were clear.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say I was a tad bit jealous it wasn’t mine. However, I am really excited to have this affordable option close to home, and I can’t wait to find every excuse to go back.
