Here are some ideas for different outdoor settings you may want to consider when booking your appointment.
June - We have lots of green! The wild flower field is starting to bloom. We have white daisy's and Lilly's blooming. The tall wild grass looks awesome in portraits.
The best time for outdoor portraits in June.
Flowers and Grasses - Between 4 and 7pm.
The woods - Between 10-5pm.
Sunset Pictures - Between 8 and 9pm.
July - Still have beautiful green grass and trees. Lot's of flowers blooming. Wild flower field is in full bloom!
Last week of July - Wheat field is perfect for pictures. (Harvest time will possibly be the first week in August although there are no guarantees.) The last 2 weeks of July will be incredibly beautiful this year. The field behind the wild flowers is planted in wheat this year so it should be spectacular for pictures!

Flowers and Grasses - Between 4 and 7pm.
The woods - Between 10-4pm.
Sunset Pictures - Between 8 and 9pm.
Mosquito's are a bit of a problem. We do spray and encourage our customers to use repellent.
August - Green grass and trees. Tall grasses. Black Eyed Susan's are blooming.
The best time for outdoor portraits in August.
Flowers and Grasses - Between 4 and 7pm.
The woods - Between 10-4pm.
Creek - Usually by this time the creek is low enough to get in for some fun water pictures. If we get a lot of rain it may be too deep. You will get muddy so I suggest doing these pictures at the end of your session. The best time is around 4 or 5pm.
Sunset Pictures - Between 7:30-8pm.
Mosquito's can be insane! Again we do try and spray but by this time of year I'm not sure anything will get rid of them. Repellent is a must!
September - Still have lots of green. Some trees and shrubs may be starting to change colors by the end of the month. Grasses are starting to change to a nice golden color.
The best time for outdoor portraits in September.
Grasses - Between 4 and 6pm.
The woods - Between 10-4pm.
Sunset Pictures - Between 7 and 7:30pm.

October - The first two weeks are typically the best for fall color. These times do book up fast so if you are interested you need to book as soon as possible.
The best time for outdoor portraits in October.
Grasses and Fall Foliage - Between 4 and 6pm.
Sunset Pictures - Between 6 and 6:30pm.
And yes, the mosquito's are still bad unless we get a hard frost.
They may not be quite as bad as last month.
These are only suggestions for times. I do book anytime of day but for the best color and lighting I do encourage you to book between these times.
Please note: the prime times do book up quickly so to ensure a spot please book your session as soon as possible!
