Hi Jamz,
In Montreal you'll find several photo studio for rent, and most are professional and well equiped. It all comes down to your budget. I can suggest you try
StudioPix for example. They are really friendly, and they rent per hour with any lighting equipment you may need.
I personnally offer a studio for rent as MarkoKulik related, it's called
Studio4Fun. But it's only possible to rent per bloc of 7 hours during weekdays and blocks of 5 hours during weekends. Also, it doesn't include lighting equipment. The mandate of Studio4Fun is make accessible a photo studio with a affordable price.
An hour at StudioPic will most likely cost you more than a 7 hours bloc at Studio4Fun, which is at most 95$, but can be as low as 40$ for the whole 7 hours all depending on the membership package you chose to subcribe. For more info about our rates and membership you may take a look at this following link :

Due to the added expenses such as acquisition cost, repairs, wear and tear, theft, etc., we prefer not to take this risk. At Studio4fun, our goal is to provide you with the space to create. We chose to let the specialty stores take care of this risk, minimizing additional management efforts. To rent quality equipment at a reasonable price, we recommend 2 stores: L.L.Lozeau and PhotoService Ltée. And since L.L.Lozeau rents 3 flashes heads for 60$, there's no way we could of done a better price then them. We prefer having a partnership with them and we are presently negotiating with L.L.Lozeau to give our members a rebate on studio lighting rentals. In addition, if we did had some lights at the studio, it won't necessarily suit your needs, since every photographer has their own way around equipment...
We presently have a partnership with VidéoService that rents video equipment (
VideoService). Studio4fun members (package A and B only) are entitle to a 30% rebate on video equipment rentals at VidéoService. And soon we'll announce a partnership with Lozeau with a similar rebate for our members. Also, more Studio4Fun studios will open soon in other parts of Montreal.
Feel free to ask us a free visit by simply calling us or e-mailing us.
