morning session
The photoshoots are created at 9 a.m.-11 a.m. in the morning before the sun has risen high, so it gives you the opportunity not only to enjoy the beautiful soft lighting but also a smaller flow of people in the environment.
bright light session
Daytime photo sessions are done around the city and in city parks. We’ll look for shaded areas to create an even light. The photos will look more fresh and crisp. This is a perfect time if you want to get a darker vibe the shadows will be harsher. Starting at 1pm-2pm to avoid lunch traffic.
sunset session
The first, earlier, evening photo session is created when the sun begins to go down a little, an ideal time is 1-2 hours before sunset. We have softer lighting (on a sunny day) that creates a cozy, romantic mood. This time is usually more convenient for couples, they can book a dinner right after the session. This is the busiest time of the day, the city will be more crowded.
sunset+city lights session
The second, later, evening photo session, is created at sunset and right after the sun sets. City lights are getting brighter , giving a romantic mood. The streets are less crowded, meaning more privacy to create portraits.
