Morning or Night Person
Are you a morning or night person? I am a mid-day person. Ha! But for beach, I definitely prefer sunset. But you know what? There isn’t a bad time for portraits at the beach. Sunrise at the beach is just as beautiful. I rarely get people that will meet me for portraits at sunrise, but […]
First Clients
