Yes, I mentioned zoning earlier.I wondered about zoning, if you have people coming and going neighbors might start to wonder... That might be something to check into before you start scheduling sessions if you haven't yet.
And you mentioned newborn photography, which brings up what could be another whole thread, but there's plenty online about baby photography that seems to be using poses and equipment that may not be appropriate. Please look up info. from child development sources, not just from people with cameras.
By checking with the City about Zoning ordinances you open yourself up to the city and any other potential business permits and ordinances -so you have to be careful on how you ask.
Of course, there's roughly half of all small business that are out of the house (no demographic breakdowns on that though but I assume alot do consulting stuff that doesn't add foot traffic).
Normally a city won't notice some additional foot traffic. A lot, maybe.
Neighbors might notice more though.
