Outdoor Portrait Session

Schedule an outdoor portrait session at Barbara Leidy Photography in her spectacular outdoor garden studio, located in Plymouth Meeting, PA.

We photograph families, children and pets in our outdoor garden studio from late May through early December.  The best light is found early in the morning, and an hour before sunset, which is called the “golden hour”.  We have areas in our garden that can be used at other times of the day too.

Because our studio has gardens, each week a different area is in bloom.  My favorite times of the year for color and blooms are at the end of June, then again in the fall.

I do not like to photograph my subjects in direct sunlight.  First, direct sunlight can be hot, causing everyone to feel uncomfortable.  Secondly, everyone will squint when looking directly into the sun.  The  “golden” hour before sunset is the most ideal time of day for photography.  When I photograph at other times of the day, I will either put my subjects with their backs to the sun, highlighting them from behind, or in open shade, where it is much cooler and the light is more even.
