Don’t get me wrong. Sunrise in the summer months can be fairly early but it is worth it for a few reasons!

1. Your little ones are wide awake and happy after breakfast! In the summer, sunset is really late which means its likely past your kids bed time. An early morning could save you some grumpy kids in the evening!
2. You now have the rest of the day to do whatever you want! You don’t have to worry about changing your plans in order to be ready for photos at a certain time.
3. The beach is less crowded and parking is easier to find. Honestly, this is a competitor for the #1 reason to have a sunrise session!
