Choosing the best time of day

Why the hour before sunset gives you softer, warmer pictures, and what to do if your family is early to bed.

The light in the last hour before sunset is low, warm and kind to everyone. It is the reason so many family pictures feel like a happy memory.

If your children are early to bed

Book the session earlier and move to the shadiest part of the park. Soft, even light is nearly as lovely, and a rested child smiles more easily than a tired one.
