Happy Friday! Let’s talk about the best time to have a photo session! The time of day is important for lighting. There’s 3 main times of the day that are great for photos.

Morning: In the morning the sun is still low in the sky which allows a softer and golden light. If you get out early enough you may even catch the glimmer of the dew drops!
Afternoon: In the afternoon the sun has had a chance to set a bit. This allows bright but indirect light. This avoids the hash noon sun and dark shadows. This is generally the best time of day to shoot in overcast conditions.
Sunset: Also known as Golden Hour (my personal favorite), sunset is arguably the most magical time of day. The sunset provides a beautiful cast of golden colors that give a soft warm feeling. If you’re lucky enough you may even catch those colors of the sunset!
