Family Portrait Season is Here! Recommendations for Locations Based on the Best Lighting Conditions
September 18th, 2012
Location suggestions are based on the best lighting and crowd conditions:
Mornings:
Old Town Presidio Park
Balboa Park
Balboa Park – Spanish Village Art Center (only the 7:30AM and 8:30AM sessions)
Marian Bear Natural Park – (only the 7:30AM and 8:30AM sessions)
Paradise Point Resort – A bit of the ‘waterfront’ look.
**PB Pier (this does not have that warm backlit glow that you see in many of my photos; those are taken in the evening near sunset. Pictures in the morning focus more on the wood of the pier, not the ocean itself, since the key is working in the shade and keeping the morning sun out of your eyes.)
Spruce Street Bridge Bankers Hill
At (Your) Home – outdoors if the light is right or inside always works
Middle of the Day (NOT IDEAL):
At (Your) Home – outdoors if the light is right or Balboa Park
Balboa Park – Spanish Village Art Center (only the 7:30AM and 8:30AM sessions)
Afternon/Evenings:
Beach!!!
Windansea La Jolla or the Pacific Beach Pier or Cuvier Coast Walk Park La Jolla are my top 3 recommendations
Kate Sessions Park
Paradise Point Resort – A bit of the ‘waterfront’ look.
