What time of day should I do my portrait session
Families and couples often ask what time of day is the best time of day for my portrait session. Hopefully this blog will help some other couples and families with the decision. In my opinion there are two great times for a session in Hawaii, the earlier morning and an hour before sunset. Listed below are some pros and cons for each time of day:
Early Morning:
• People often find that with the time difference they are up early anyhow and that by sunset time their kids are getting tired and ready for bed
• The bluest skies and bluest ocean are in the morning, the greens and flowers are also richer in color
• The weather is the most consistent with the least chance of rain or clouds in the morning
• Sometimes even early in the morning people find it a little warm for portraits
• Sometimes people find that the light is a little harsh and some people squint
.
Hour Before Sunset:
• The softest and most flattering light is at an hour before sunset
• It is generally cooler
• The last 10-15 of the session usually has a beautiful sunset background
• Beaches are usually a little less crowded at that time of night
