Are you a morning person or a night person? A early bird gets the worm, or a night owl? Me personally? I love the mornings!   It’s the beginning of a new day, the rising of the sun, and a great time to take some meaningful and memorable pictures. Photo sessions during this time of day and bring some awesome benefits to the shoot. Below are 5 benefits that might just encourage you to have a sunrise session.

1. The morning is beautiful.

Sunrise is  one of the most beautiful times of the day. The magnificent colors, the sound of the morning birds, and the nice fresh breeze show the most gorgeous parts of nature. There will be a sense of stillness and a beautiful morning glow to all of your pictures. : ) 

2. Quiet mornings are romantic.

Whether it is an engagement session or an elopement you are planning a photo session with you and your significant other, a sunrise session would be great for you. The world is just waking up and you two can be intentional about starting your day together. 

3. Sunrise is refreshing.

When it’s the first thing in the morning your mind is fresh as well as everything out in nature. It’s very refreshing with the coolness and the calmness of the morning time. What would make the day even better would be to start it off by having fun taking some photos in the morning, while the sun is coming up with a light breeze. 

4.Sunrise sessions allow for more privacy. 

Since the sunrise happens so early, not very many people are out and about yet. That means your photoshoot will be more private. If you’re doing a photo shoot with your partner this means you can be more intimate without the eyes of other people on you. 

5.You’ll Have the Rest of the Day

Photo sessions do not usually take very long. If you have one early in the morning then it will give you the rest of the day to do other things you may have. This can be especially good if you are a person with a very busy schedule, or have daily routines. Or you can make the rest of the day about spending time together. Plan a fun adventure!
