Let’s be real—summertime golden hour sounds magical… Until you remember that golden hour in June in Texas = your toddler’s bedtime.
That dreamy sunset light we all love? It doesn’t show up until 7 or 8 PM in the spring and summer. And for families with little kids, that can mean cranky faces, overtired tears, and a whole lot of bribery.
Enter: the sunrise session.
As a Plano Family Photographer, I know mornings can feel intimidating, but hear me out—sunrise is actually incredible for young families, and here’s why:
- Soft, dreamy light: Just like sunset, but even more peaceful. The early morning light is gentle, glowy, and perfect for capturing those sweet snuggles and squishy cheeks.
- Well-rested little ones: Most kids are happier (and more cooperative!) after a full night’s sleep and breakfast. Morning moods > post-dinner meltdowns.
- Cooler temps & fewer distractions: Especially in the warmer months, early sessions are more comfortable and way less crowded—no photobombers, no noise, just you and your people.
The rest of the day is yours: By 8 AM, you’ve already had a magical memory made. You’re free to spend the day however you like—with zero stress.
So if you’ve been putting off photos because evenings just don’t work for your crew—know that I’ve got you.
Sunrise might just be the golden hour your family actually needs. Contact me today to book your sunrise session this Spring.
