I'm not quite sure, my sister and I each had sessions with our families on our trip in September my appointment was at 9am and hers was at 7pm. One suggestion though....the light in the mornings off the water is gorgeous in the pics, plus the beach was empty and freshly "combed" . By the time DSis got to her appointment the wind was really picking up as a storm was rolling in, so in all of her pics her hair is blowing everywhere. We really enjoyed our session.
