family photographer Katy- Why do photographers want to shoot in the evening?

The time that I choose to photograph a majority of my clients is the hour before sunset, the golden hour. I live for those dreamy, sun hazed filled images.  I joke that I want to be ” One with the Sun” when I am photographing, but seriously, I do. The lighting is the #1 thing that I focus on when choosing when and where we will hold your session.

Are there any exceptions? Sure there are. If it is cloudy, the area is heavily shaded, or we are shooting indoors (mostly newborns and sitters).

Will you really turn down a shoot because someone wants their session at noon? I will. I want your pictures to be amazing, if they are taken at noon, I know that the lighting will not be there. I will not chance it. If you are paying for professional portraits, it is an investment and it is memories, I want them to be worthy of hanging on your walls for years to come.

Below I will show you some photos taken in Katy, Texas during the Golden hour. I will also upload one that I did a while back, before I stuck to my Golden hour rule.
