The light at the time of your session is VERY important for my approach and the look that I shoot. All the photos in my portfolio are from sessions during “Golden Hour”. As a mum I understand that this may not be the ideal time for your little ones, and it will be delaying dinner or bedtime. But for that one night of the year trust me it will be worth it. There are also sunrises that can be a great alternative, especially in March when sunrise is quite late. Alternatively, a sunset session during winter will be a lot earlier than in summer.
We can of course try to shoot a bit earlier before sunset, BUT the photos will look very different to the ones in my portfolio.
