Here's what it costs and what's included, so there are no surprises.
The Glasshouse at Holl Photography sits behind our studio in Oakdale, PA, just a short woodland walk from the parking area. Natural light pours in through the glass ceiling and windows, and there's a chandelier, a vintage fireplace, and a Victorian red settee waiting inside. Photographers book it for portraits, minis, and content days.
