The studio will be warm. For family photos, neutral or earth-tone colors like white and cream/tan work best for clothes. Let’s keep it simple and avoid anything too bright or busy.
Session lengths vary depending on the type of shoot. Portrait sessions typically last 45 minutes to an hour, while more extensive sessions, like weddings, can take several hours.
