One of the biggest questions I get asked is if you should do your photoshoot at the studio or in-home.
I hope I can guide you a little in your choice!
Look at your inspiration images
Are they bright, light and airy? Do they mostly focus on the subject? This leans towards a studio. Do your images have a lot of shadow? Is there a lot going on in the background? Are they a bit more creative? Think home.
Look at your own home
A lot of people are worried their home isn't perfect or have enough light. I'm worried about that less. I've photographed almost everywhere and it's always been fine. Do you want a picture perfect home, and know you won't be able to clean up? Do you have so much stuff in your home you can barely move, let alone clear a spot for a photo? I'd probably choose studio.
Do you want to do an activity?
Some family's want to include story time, playing games or eating at the table in their photos. I'd do this at home.
Here are some sample in-home photos:
