Family photoshoots usually take place at a beautiful outdoor location of your choice. I find this allows families to be themselves, relax and have fun with the kids and those natural moments always make for the best photos that no studio can ever compete with.
Newborn photoshoots will take place at your home, where you can feel comfortable and have everything you need around you. Those early days are so precious and they disappear so quickly, I know from my experience how quickly those first few weeks flew by.
