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 about doing an in-home shoot.
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. Yes, I may need to set up lighting.
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 like going for a walk, snack time or reading books? Choose home.
Are you OK with a little bit of chaos and want something super authentic? Choose home.
Do you just want simple, clean, beautiful joyful photos with no hassle? I'd choose studio.
Here are some sample in-home photos:
