The Importance of Light
Magical photos aren’t just about the camera or the backdrop; they rely heavily on light.
Natural Light: Your Best Friend
The natural, soft, and warm light you find just after the sun peeks over the horizon or just before it bids the day goodbye serves as every photographer’s best friend. This magical time, known as the golden hour, paints everything it touches with a beautiful glow. Yes, even your already adorable subjects will look more enchanting under this light!

What If You Can’t Wait for Golden Hour?
But what if your photo opportunity happens at a moment’s notice and golden hour is hours away? No worries! Follow these three steps to capture stunning images anytime, especially when you’re learning how to take outdoor pictures:
- Wipe Your Lens: Start by cleaning your camera lens with your shirt to remove smudges and dust!
- Move to Open Shade: Look for shade where you can still see the sky. Avoid shooting under a tree or balcony, as that may cast uneven shadows.
- Position Your Subject: Face your subject with their back to the sun. This prevents harsh shadows on their face.
- Bonus Tip: If your kid plays and you don’t want to interrupt, shade your lens. This protects against the sun creating a hazy look over your photo!
You’ll be amazed at how something as simple as the right lighting can transform your photos from everyday snapshots to extraordinary memories.
