Timing matters — more than you think.When planning your shoot, picking the right time of day and time of year can make a huge difference in your final images.

Here’s what to consider:

For Outdoor Shoots:

• Golden Hour (just after sunrise or before sunset) offers soft, glowing light — perfect for romantic or dreamy images

• Avoid harsh midday light unless you want a very bright, contrast-heavy look

For Studio Sessions:

• Anytime works — we control the light completely

• Ideal for busy families or those who want flexibility with weather

Bonus tip: Book your shoot 2–3 weeks in advance to get your preferred slot — especially during peak seasons like spring, graduation time, or year-end holidays.
