Hats in the late Summer Sunshine

Although Summer is my favourite time of year, as any photographer knows, bright sunlight is not necessarily the nicest light to photograph. High sun can result in dark circles under the eyes and stark contrast on the skin. So, as much as I am sad to see the Summer drawing to a close, I am glad to see that slightly lower sun which has been casting a beautiful glow on my recent photo-shoots. I have had morning and late afternoon shoots recently, both of which gave me the opportunity to grab some warm sunny glow in my pictures.


Children look cute in hats... bowlers, boaters, trilbys... any hats and there's nothing wrong with bringing along a few little props to get children in the mood for a bit of posing! Luckily for me all my little subjects were willing to pop a hat on. This resulted in some sweet little silhouettes and some dreamy sun flare. Here are two of the cutest boys showing how it's done...

It won't be long before Autumn is upon us and I can start using the apples, pumpkins and gorgeous leafage to inspire some shots.
