I'll be really honest, I almost always won't shoot photos at any other time of day than the evening because location options feel much more limited with the light difference. But I am really glad I said yes and met the Lee family who all came together from all over the country to enjoy a little family time...and especially sweet grandbaby/niece time!

If you want to do a morning session, as close to sunrise as possible is ideal so that light is still filtering through the trees and the shadows aren't as harsh.  These photos were taken between 8 and 9 am.  Then you'll want to find a spot with open shade. That means you're in the shade but the sky above you is open. You aren't actually under anything. Finally, I find it really helps for the sun to be behind the subjects, ideally filtering through trees. 

Those are the things I try and pay attention to when I find myself shooting photos during the day! If you have little ones that need an earlier session, you might find Spring or Fall to be a better time of year for your session if you are flexible.  My 2022 Calendar for Fall is almost full, so click here if you'd like to schedule a session!
