When is the best time to schedule my family portrait session?

allow for time to do a style and location consolation. However, we offer sessions the week of if availability
allows with the minimum of 72 hour booking. Session are available Monday-Friday
(and limited Saturday & Sundays).
What time of day is best for portraits?
The few hours prior to sunset are the most ideal for sessions. During your session we do use lighting to balance out shadows and bring out the beautiful colors of the location. However even with lighting we prefer not to work during mid day to avoid deep shadows or intense highlights.

Often it is just enough time to keep the attention for our youngest clients.
Do you photograph large groups?
