On-Location VS. In-Studio

In one corner of the ring we have On-Location and in the other corner of the ring we have In-Studio...

Thanks to our lovely (and always changing) Midwestern weather, the question of whether to do sessions in the studio or outside gets tossed around a lot.  And it can be a pretty hard decision.  

 My first choice has always been (and always will be) outside!  There is a TON of variety when working outside... the grass, the foliage, the sky, buildings, flowers, colors, textures, lighting, shadows, and the list continues!  The variety for outdoor pictures is tremendous and makes every photograph unique.  My family and I love exploring every spring and summer for new "spots" to take pictures. The more unique and different, the better.  The world around us has so much to offer!

Don't get me wrong, I love my little studio and can't wait for my new one... but I can't re-create nature inside and when I try it looks fake and leaves much to be desired.  I do know that there are just some photographs I can't capture outside and that's why we decided to start the studio and I am so happy we did!  Over the past few months I've captured a lot of amazing photographs of infants and children that wouldn't have been possible outside. 

The question still remains... In-Studio or On-Location?  I guess we'll have to leave the answer up to mother nature and what she wants to bless us with.
