Why choose Family session in Savannah?
Savannah is one of the best cities in this catalogue for photographing small children and the reason is entirely practical: the canopy. Under the live oaks in the squares there is no bad hour, which means a family session can be scheduled around a nap rather than around the sun. Everywhere else in the American south that trade costs you the light between May and September. Here it does not.
Worth knowing about Savannah
The enclosed shape of the smaller squares is a genuine practical asset with a toddler, and it is the reason local families use them rather than Forsyth. A square is roughly the size of a large garden, bounded by streets on four sides with benches around the edge — which means a two-year-old can be put down and photographed running without anybody chasing them into traffic.

FAQ — Family session in Savannah
What time works best with young children?
Whatever suits them, which is unusual for the American south. The live oak canopy over the squares filters the light evenly for most of the day, so a session can be scheduled around naps and meals rather than around golden hour. Mood shows in a photograph more than light does, and here you do not have to choose.
Is a beach session possible?
Yes — Tybee Island is about twenty minutes east and is the only open ocean within reach of the city. The north end near the lighthouse is considerably quieter than the pier and better for portraits. Professional photography on the beach falls under the City of Tybee Island’s own special-events rules, separate from Savannah’s and checked before the date.
