If you are doing family portraits and a family of seven walks in, you need room to stack those seven people so they won't look crowded. Also, storage space for props is important as is an easy to handle system for backdrops. The more clients are able to do (enter the studio, change, use the bathroom, get a drink of water, etc.) without having to use your personal home space, the beter.
