Happy Saturday (the last in May)! How in the world did spring pass by so fast? I miss photographing all my wonderful clients and am so excited that June looks like it'll be the time!
One of the questions I get asked quite often is why are your sessions held in the evening? To answer that, I'd like to talk a little about light in today's blog. Have you ever stopped to take notice of how the light changes throughout the day? In the morning, everything is soft, often covered with dew (except during summer of course!), and the first rays of light are low in the sky, creating long shadows that tease the start of the new day. From there, the light gets brighter and brighter, until it gets soft, glow-y, and beautiful, then sets and gets dark.
My sessions take place during the soft light period, affectionately referred to as the "golden hour" because the light is so beautiful. It is soft, warm, golden, and oh-so flattering, and makes for the most incredible back-lit photos. It's also the most flattering light for skin, softening it and minimizing wrinkles and dark circles.
