Certain things can help your finished product turn out better than you imagined. Things like weather, light, time of year, and day of the week all affect your photos. Generally speaking, sunrise and sunset give you the best warm lighting. We live in the mountains, so the “sunsets” are usually slightly earlier than what the weather app tells you. The hour before/as the sun is setting is called Golden Hour and frequently carries the best light, whereas midday light can be harsh and often carries heavy shadows. Location of the shoot and day of the week can heavily affect how busy it is. If we are shooting somewhere like Union Station, then you will definitely have other people around/watching. If you are a more reserved or quiet individual, then shooting in a highly trafficked public place can be challenging. Parents, please keep this in mind for your seniors. People frequently compliment those being photographed on their looks or style, or just altogether ignore us, so don’t let that get in the way if it is what you really want. Holidays and weekends are always busy. I am located in Parker, and not everything is an easy driving distance, so if your location is a little further, that’s ok! Just keep in mind I may discuss other options or a travel fee if necessary.
