It depends on the available lighting of the home. We always have that kind of gear with us (just in case), but we find that most homes really don't need it. We use lights and flashes as another tool in our toolbox - to help get the best quality out of an image that is, for example, severely under-lit or would otherwise be too washed out. If you are looking for a photoshoot that uses lights and flashes on every shot (because you're trying to achieve a certain look), please contact us for pricing and availability.
