What time of day is best for portraits? Morning or sunset?
Morning and sunset are both great times of day for portraits so it really depends on the look you want for your pictures. Morning sessions give a brighter more tropical look and it’s usually less windy! Sunset sessions create a warmer light with a beautiful Big Island sunset in the background.
