What time of day are you?

Obviously the time of photo shoots is generally based on a person's schedule.  But since I incorporate a great deal of your personality into much of my photography, I ask the question: "Are you a day person?".  Specifically, when are you at your best: most creative, thoughtful and happy.  This tends to be obvious in the youngest clientele.  Some kids are just more jolly right after breakfast or in the afternoon.  Others need naps at certain times and should become little models right after the nap.

Another thing you might consider is the sort light we will find at your location.  Yes, this is my job ... but if you want to get pictures by your uncle's pond, ask him when it is most beautiful.  Most likely he will have an answer.

So if you're thinking about scheduling a shoot, consider what time of day might be best.
