Did you know that there is a time of day that is PERFECT for those sun drenched images that we all love & want for our sessions?!? Yes! It’s called GOLDEN HOUR and it’s exactly one hour before the sun goes down and the ONLY time I will shoot at!
What makes this hour so special?!?
#1. ETHEREAL HAZE: when the sun’s light fills the camera lens, it creates a beautiful haze that fills the entire frame and gives that beautiful creamy haziness that we love in those perfectly backlit images!
#2. RIM LIGHT: this is what we call the light that wraps itself around your hair and figure that makes you look like you’re glowing! It can make you look like an angel, and who the heck doesn’t want that?!
#3. DELICIOUS WARMTH: there’s something about the golden hour that brings about a warmer light! It can make your skin look gorgeous and gives such an inviting tone to the environment around you and really makes all those colors POP!
#4. MOUNTAIN SHOTS: as the sun drops we all know that the Sandia Mountains turn the perfect shade of pink. But did you know the best time to capture them is 20 minutes before the sunsets? YES! When they are in full sun they just don’t show up as pretty as they will during GOLDEN HOUR!
Check out the images below that were all captured during the golden hour and tell me which one is your favorite in the comments below!
