Booking Details

Please plan for setup and cleanup within your booking window.
Access details will be shared before your session. Renters are responsible for leaving the space as found, clean, organized, and ready for the next creator; damages or major cleaning will be subject to a $250 fee.
Pro tip: The studio gets beautiful natural light from late morning through mid-afternoon, typically until about 2.5 hours before sunset. Many photographers love to take advantage of that soft, flattering light, but off-camera flash or continuous lighting can also be used for creative setups.
Location
Studio Creo is located in Middlefield, Connecticut (bordering Middletown), a short drive from Meriden, Wallingford, Hartford, and New Haven, making it a convenient choice for photographers across Central CT.
Meet the Founder
Hi, I’m Kaitlyn Casso, a brand photographer and strategist passionate about helping women entrepreneurs show up confidently in their businesses.
For years, I’ve dreamed of creating a space that brings the brand photography experience to life, one that feels warm, inspiring, and intentional from the moment you walk in.
That dream became Studio Creo.
Rooted in my Italian heritage (the word “Creo” means “I create” in Italian), this studio represents more than just a place to take photos; it’s a space built for creation, connection, and confidence.
Whether you’re here for your own brand session, renting the space for your clients, or using it to film Reels, record videos, podcasts, or create social media content, my goal is that you feel empowered and inspired every time you step inside.
Welcome to Studio Creo, where creativity comes naturally.
