OUTDOOR FAMILY PORTRAITS




Hello!

I've had a lot of people talking to me about outdoor family portraits over the winter and would just like to share a bit of info with you.

First of all, the best months for outdoor portraits (on average) are June and September. Here is why:

_ They are the greenest months.
_ The weather is the most comfortable these two months.
_ There is less bugs during these two months.
_ The humidity is lower during these months than July or August.

I went on-line to check the average temperatures in St. Cloud.

July is the highest average. If you remember ... the last two years July has been unbearably HOT. We had several days at 100 degrees.

August is usually humid. It is also the month that many fall school sports start practicing and it is more difficult to schedule appointments. Last year we had a couple of really neat days in August. There were days when their was a very light mist in the air which made all the green colors vibrant. That was fun!

September's average temp is 10 degrees cooler than June and August. The two biggest dilemmas that happen in September is that there is less available time, with school starting, and also, less available daylight. (for those after school/work appointments)

I have SOOO much more to share with you, but I don't want to over-whelm you today.

If you are interested in an outdoor family or children's session please give me a call to schedule your appointment soon. We are already filling up in June. I have weddings on the last two Saturdays of the month.

Thanks!

Have a super duper day.
Denise
