Welcome to Co.Studio: For Rent in Downtown St. Louis
We’ve been dreaming about this space for a long time.
A place where creativity isn’t limited by budget, where you don’t have to choose between access and inspiration, and where artists, entrepreneurs, and dreamers can actually build something together.
That’s exactly what Co.Studio is.

What “Co.Studio” Means
The name is simple, but every part of it matters:
Collaboration: This is not a space where you shut the door and work alone (unless that’s your thing and you’re welcome to). It’s a space where your ideas can grow alongside other creative minds, where conversations spark new projects, and where you’ll always have someone in your corner.
Community: Co.Studio is for all of us. Whether you’re a photographer, small business owner, designer, content creator, or just starting to figure out your thing, you belong here. We believe in making connections that go beyond business cards.
Collective: We share skills, resources, and ideas. The goal is to help everyone in the room move forward, not compete for the same tiny slice of opportunity. There is room for all of us. Collective over Competition.

Free Workshops. Real Resources.
One of our biggest priorities with Co.Studio is making sure that learning is just as accessible as the space itself.
That means:
Free workshops led by local creatives and business owners, covering everything from photography lighting to social media strategy to running your first pop-up.
Skill swaps so you can teach what you know and learn something new in return.
Meet-ups & work sprints that help you actually get things done instead of just talking about it.

Accessible Pricing
We know that resources for creatives are often locked behind a high price tag. That’s not what Co.Studio is about.
We’ve structured our pricing to be as approachable as possible so more people can walk through the door. You don’t need a big budget to take big steps here, just your ideas, your energy, and maybe your favorite notebook.
Everything You Need to Build
Inside The Selfie Room, Co.Studio has the tools, lighting, and space to bring your ideas to life whether that’s content for your brand, a styled shoot, your first workshop, or just a quiet place to brainstorm.
We’ve built this with intention:
Open space for collaboration.
Professional equipment that’s ready when you are.
& Support when you need it:
The Studio Director, Jessa, is available to assist with lighting and answer questions you may have about making your Session a success! We want you at the Studio trying out new things, growing and knowing you are supported through it all.
The Selfie Room Owner, Heather, is dedicated to creating an empowering, inspiring space where individuals can build self-confidence, and discover their inner beauty. Through the art of photography, we foster self-love, and connection, making every visit a memorable experience.
This is your invitation to join us. Bring your laptop, your camera, your sketches, your dreams, whatever you’re building. Co.Studio is ready for you.
