There’s something truly magical about golden hour—the soft, warm light that wraps everything in a gentle glow. Recently, I had the pleasure of capturing a milestone session with the sweetest little fam!

We began the session in a beautiful meadow, the sun casting a golden hue over everything. The little one’s giggles echoed as they chased each other, and I was there to capture each fleeting moment. From the gentle way the parents held their child to the spontaneous hugs and kisses, it was a reminder of how quickly time passes. These small, tender moments are what life is truly about.

As we moved around the meadow, I encouraged the family to interact naturally. I love to capture candid shots that reflect genuine emotions, and this family made it easy. There is LOTS of running, tickling and kisses during sessions like these!

As the session drew to a close, we took a few final shots, capturing the youngest little one’s first cake smash! Aren’t they just the cutest?!

Golden hour is not just about the stunning visuals; it’s about the moments that make our hearts full.
