Let's talk lighting!
Photography is all about light and emotion, and learning how to embrace both in every season and setting. This session was photographed at 4pm in April with bright sun, open spaces, and not a lot of tree coverage. A few years ago, I would have been such a stickler about only shooting at sunset for that soft, glowy light. But over time, and since becoming a mom(hello bedtime), I’ve learned that every kind of lighting has its own beauty and feeling to it.
I love being flexible with my clients and their real life routines, especially with little ones. Sometimes the best photos don’t happen at “perfect” golden hour, they happen when kids are happy, rested, and able to just be themselves. And honestly, there’s something I really love about the warmth, contrast, and brightness that daytime light can bring to a gallery.
