Perfect Your Cape Cod Portrait Session with Jason Goldstein Photography
- family
I have a 6 year old daughter, so I know how tough it can be when kids don't listen. . Positivity rubs off, especially during photo sessions.
Even late in the day, the sun on the beach can be strong.
At some locations, it can get pretty buggy, so having some bug spray doesn't hurt.
Most beach sessions are set up to be right around sunrise/sunset. If you are not punctual, you run the risk of missing the best light that helps me create the best images. Even worse, we may not have enough time because it gets too dark.
Also during the sessions, please try to not disappear. Obviously we all need to get a snack, run to the car, etc., but please make sure your timing is ok. Within what they call the "golden hour" of light, there is usually 5-10 minutes that are ideal. You don't want to go missing during that time.
This mostly goes out to parents and other adults. I am going to do some goofy stuff and say silly things to make the little ones smile (hopefully). If the smiles are few and far in between and an adult is either not smiling, yelling at their kids, or day dreaming when all the kids happen to be smiling, that perfect image could be lost....And I'll tell your wife!
