I am the owner + photographer at Julie Renee Photo. So glad you have made it to my blog! I'm a natural light photographer in Pittsburgh, PA focusing on all things motherhood! Follow along as I share my own experiences in motherhood, personal family photos, interviews with women-owned PGH businesses, and lots more!
When deciding on a location for your session, there are a lot of factors to consider! What time of year is it? Is it a newborn session? Do you want outdoor photos or inside? If you are leaning towards inside – you then have to choose between in-home or in-studio. In this blog post, I’m going to breakdown a few benefits of taking photos in a studio, and why it might be the best choice for your session!
Studios are a great option if you want indoor photos but your home is not very well lit. I can work around most any lighting situation, but obviously a studio flooded with natural light will take better photos than an apartment with one window. So if you have a feeling your home would be a little tricky for photos, a studio may be the best option!
2. STYLE
Because I do not have a studio of my own, I have the luxury of presenting you with several options for studios around town. You’ll get to decide exactly what vibe you are going for with your session, and it can help decide what outfits you wear and the whole vision! I have worked in studios that range from boho, industrial, romantic, rustic, and beyond, so no matter what you are looking for, we can find a good fit.
3. FUN
It is just plain fun to rent a studio! It feels like an event and the energy is super fun in a studio. We’ll play music, you’ll get ready, your kids will have fun running around a new environment, and we’ll make an afternoon of it all! Sometimes when shooting in-home, its easy for kids to get bored and retreat to what they’d normally be doing. A studio provides a new experience for them, and it really shows in the photos!
If it seems like a studio would be a good fit for your session, let me know when filling out the contact form and I’ll send over my list of trusted studios in town. We’ll find the perfect fit for you and your fam!
