Mid-Day Light Family Photo Session
When I use to mainly do family sessions every weekend, every month (instead of mostly on-call birth photography) I would always have a family ask me two questions:
WHY DO SESSIONS START SO LATE IN THE DAY?
Golden Hour: In photography, the golden hour is the period of daytime shortly after sunrise or before sunset, during which daylight is redder and softer than when the Sun is higher in the sky, allowing for photographs to be the most beautiful in the least harshest light. Photographs taken of people during golden hour contribute to more flattering aesthetics.
WHAT IF MY CHILD(REN) ARE SLEEPING BY THIS TIME? CAN I DO A SESSION IN THE MORNING OR EARLIER AFTERNOON?
The short answer: we can you do your session any time of day, as long as it is not storming, raining and there is no stay at home order. Also considering this will be a south Florida summer, it will also be much hotter and less windy outside of golden hour times, which can contribute to more squinted eyes by all family members and more sweating, and less comfortability. But it can be done and it can come out beautifully, so long as the family is flexible and laid back. To see example of images captured during “harsh” lighting to see how different the quality of your photos will be, take a look below! Leave me feedback on what you prefer!
