The wonderful Jays family head for home after our photo session in Curlew Park.
You just can’t beat it! Late afternoon light does the most wonderful things in family photos.
Evening light is warm and vibrant.
It gives a glow to our skin and a golden highlight to hair.
Its a beautiful time of day to go to the park or a beach.
To be honest I just don’t do family photos at any other time of day.
There is a little window of time in the last half hour before sunset where the last light is just getting better and better and better -and then it’s gone.
There is nothing you can do to stop it, or slow it down. Its gone …until the next day!
Curlew Park, Sandgate, picture above and below, is one of my favourite places to be as the sun goes down.
My boy Kel and I go around there in the late afternoon. He takes a football. I take my camera.
I tell him how beautiful I think the park is at sunset. He says I say that every time we go.
We laugh and look at the big sky. We stay until the light has gone and until we can hardly see.
Until the mozzies start to eat us and the bats come.
I take pictures when the light has all but gone too.
Not family photos but something like this.
I could go every evening and every pic would be different.
That’s what makes it so awesome -I’m dealing with the power of the universe.
Do you need beautiful family photos like this ? Yes?
I can help you with that.
