Curious, how do others do home pet photography; not outdoor but inside the home. How much equipment do you take, do you bring backgrounds and tables? How long does it take you to setup and take-down; etc. Do you make your photos look like the home or do you use covers and backdrops to make it look like studio shots? Do you charge extra for home photos because of the setup time and transportation time?

Reason for question; just completed my first in-home session of two Brussels Griffins with a African Grey Parrot. It was fun, successful, but like all areas, I would like to learn how to be more productive and learn what is appropriate equipment to bring. I brought to much equipment (three backgrounds, three lights, umbrellas, camera gear, etc.) I have a studio but decided to do this in-home because of the size of the dogs and the added parrot.
