Why light matters
Light decides how skin, fabric and faces look more than any camera does. Soft light flatters everyone; harsh midday sun flatters almost no one.
Finding your window
Golden hour is roughly the last hour before sunset. In Michigan that can be as early as 4:30 pm in December or as late as 8:45 pm in June. Use our golden hour finder to check your date.
Overcast is a gift
A grey day is not a lost day. Clouds act like a giant softbox, which is why some of our favourite portraits are made right after rain.
