Are you and the family early risers? if yes, have you considered a sunrise shoot? There’s something magical about the Sunshine Coast at sunrise. The beaches are quiet, the light is soft and golden, and the world feels peaceful. It’s a special time of day, while so many people are still in bed. It feels like a gift.
I know early mornings aren’t always easy, but with little ones, they can actually be the best. Kids are rested, happy, and ready for fun—no late-day tiredness to contend with.
One recent session at sunrise was nothing short of magical, so much so, soon after, I got my own sunrise family photos done on a local beach in our area. I LOVE them!
The best time of year for sunrise Family photos is between May and August where the sun rises at about 6 am.
Here are the sunrise times on the Coast, we usually start about 20 minutes before these times.
