The cool and gentle breeze, the serenity, and privacy are just few of my favorite reasons why I love sunrise sessions! Sunrises are peaceful and they bring forth incredible, soft light (as well as some golden hour love!). There are many reasons why I highly recommend sunrise sessions. This post shares 5 reasons why sunrise photography sessions are highly beneficial, beautiful, and might just be a highlight for you to remember.

1 – Privacy + Intimacy = Peace & Tranquility

Sunrise sessions often have a lower chance of encounters with other people compared to popular sunset sessions. This privacy lends itself to a more intimate and relaxed session. You and your loved ones can fully express yourselves without distractions, creating authentic and emotional moments that will be reflected in the photographs.

2 – More availability on my calendar

It is no coincidence that my calendar fills up during certain times of the year when the weather and scenery is gorgeous and family photos are so popular! My evenings books up very quickly and I often have more availability in the mornings. I really do love the light from a sunrise session and if you are looking for a family session especially late in the season when my calendar is really booked, we most likely can find a morning sunrise session to get the day that you want!

3 – Little kids are happier in the morning

Yes, I can help get those smiles out from the little kiddos, but kids are typically happier in the mornings. They just had a good nights sleep and they are ready to take on the day! Sometimes when we do sessions with little kids in the evening they are tired and it may not show in their face, but sometimes it does in their actions and their willingness to participate! You never know what a day might bring, especially for a little one so let’s meet in the morning when they are at their best!

4 – Cooler temps – this is especially a plus in the summer months here in sunny Florida.

Often times the temperature in the morning is much cooler than other parts of the day and that is really good for most people participating in photos! The cooler temperatures in the morning help to make the people in the photos more comfortable and in turn, happier! Also, during most of the year in Florida, we have afternoon storms which sometimes leads to reschedules.

5 – You will have the rest of the day to yourself!

What is better than having your family photos taken AND having the entire rest of the day to spend as a family and not having to worry about getting everyone together or making sure that everything goes according to plan the rest of the day because you started early and got it done! You can start the day as a family in front of the camera and spend the rest of the day doing whatever you want!

I would love to schedule your sunrise photo session and be your photographer. Send me a message and let’s get a date on the calendar!

Honorable mentions:

Scenic Beauty: The soft, pastel hues that paint the sky, combined with the quiet stillness of nature, provide an ideal backdrop for capturing exquisite photographs.
Serene and Peaceful Setting: There is something inherently serene and tranquil about being up early in the morning, before the hustle and bustle of daily life takes over. By booking a sunrise photo session, you not only capture stunning photographs but also immerse yourself in the peaceful ambiance of the early morning. The calm surroundings allow you to relax, be more present, and truly enjoy the experience.
A special memory together: Sunrise adventures become memories, perhaps even traditions, down the line. You’ll look back on this experience years from now and remember the intimate, stunning, and nature-filled morning you shared together. Having images that capture these moments suddenly become that much more dear to you.
