a curated creative studio

in east grand rapids

More than a studio—an experience that feels as good as it looks.

Welcome to

— a modern, design-focused studio built for visual storytellers who crave more than just a blank canvas. Nestled right in Gaslight Village, our light-filled studio merges California-coastal ease with Midwest charm. Think: lime wash walls, herringbone wood floors, soft textures, and intentionally curated corners that make your work shine (without needing to haul in props or fake plants). Blocks from Reed’s Lake and surrounded by cozy cafes & boutiques, our East Grand Rapids space is designed to inspire creativity and make every session here feel effortless.

Whether you’re shooting a session, hosting a creative night, or planning something entirely your own, this space was built for people like you. Host your next photoshoot, workshop, meeting, or intimate gathering in a space that inspires.

With neutral tones, curated furnishings, and an organic, welcoming atmosphere,

Somewhere Haus is where ideas come to life.
