To achieve the best lighting for your big day, we want to take advantage of the best time of day - Golden Hour! Golden Hour gets the best results for any pictures, and is why we use it for your Senior Pictures!
What is Golden Hour?
Golden hour refers to the period shortly after sunrise and just before sunset when the sun is low on the horizon. During this time, the sunlight takes on a warm, golden hue, creating a soft and diffused light that enhances the natural landscape and adds a magical glow to photographs.
Soft, Flattering Light
We want to use this perfect time because of the quality of light it provides. The sun’s low angle creates soft, diffused light that reduces harsh shadows and highlights, resulting in even, flattering illumination. This gentle light is perfect for portraits, as it smooths skin tones and gives you a natural, radiant glow.
Tips for a Successful Golden Hour Photoshoot
To get this effortless look with the sun, and you looking perfect already, it does take a little bit of effort. But trust us when we say "IT'S WORTH IT", because it really is! To get the best photos during this time, here are some of our suggestions to prepare for your shoot!
Plan Ahead
Golden hour is brief, so it’s essential to plan your photoshoot accordingly. Arrive at the location early to ensure you have enough time to set up and take advantage of the light. Don't worry, we will help you with timing, and planning on the location you want to capture your big day!
We've Got Your Back!
We have extensive experience capturing the magic of golden hour, and we are here to make sure you look and feel amazing while basking in the sun. Trust our expertise to guide you through the session, from helping to pose and work with angles to making the most of the natural light, to make YOU the star of the show.
The sun is the star of the day, but today is YOUR day to shine! Let us know how we can capture your day!
