Well, I have never seen an early bird with a camera, I guess I am not getting up that early, but I have had my share of early excursions! One was out of town, so my client had to get up even earlier than I to get ready.
Be aware, if you want an early "sun coming up" session, you will have to be up before the sun to get ready for the big event! I am actually so excited about early sessions, till I have to get up...which wouldn't be so bad, if I had actually slept! Generally I am so excited about your session, I have pictures in my head, visions of these dreamy perfect moments I plan to capture.I go over equipment in my head, going through my mental checklist, did I charge everything? Well it is worth it, and since the light is changing with the season, good news everyone won't have to get up quite so early. By the way, for those of you that sleep in the morning and have no idea when "sun up" is-it was as early as 6:30, yikes!
I don't just get up early for the sun, I also work early for the "early risers". You know, babies who can't tell time and wake up before everyone and are excruciatingly happy at 7:30 in the morning! Oh yeah, I will show up to photograph a baby anytime, anywhere!
Well the point is, does the Early Bird get the best image? I think so, if the pictures are important to you, getting up early for portraits is totally worth the effort. Images, just don't lie! If you want a gorgeous image early in the morning, in the right location-don't hesitate to ask for it! Get happy, dawn isn't quite as early now, sessions can begin at 8am or 9am now! I can sleep in!"I think we consider too much the good luck of the early bird, and not enough of the bad luck of the early worm!" -Franklin D. Roosevelt
