Is 7:45am too early for a family photoshoot? Not for this beautiful bunch! Luckily on this day, we had just pushed the clocks back overnight, and 7:45am really felt like 8:45am, and this whole gang was bright eye-ed and bushy tailed, ready to make some photo magic!

Here’s a bit of insider information: The best time of day to shoot is when the sun is low to the horizon. As the light cuts through the atmosphere, it picks up all that golden goodness from the particles in the air, turning everything it touches into sheer gorgeousness and earning the name “golden hour”. Normally, your photographer will meet with you in late afternoon to make this happen, but if you’re willing and able (or if you’re required to because of nap schedules!) you can also get this effect in the early morning.

So, we met at at a park, did some exploring, had some fun, and just look at these photos! I sincerely hope one of these ends up as a large print in the living room!
