This photo session was all about being golden. The sunlight was golden. The family was golden. The time spent during the photo session was golden. As a natural light photographer who loves a solid golden hour, I felt like I hit the jackpot.

I had the pleasure of meeting this family almost a year ago. When she reached out to me for another photo session, I couldn’t wait to see how much the kiddos had grown. That’s one of my favorite aspects of repeat clients. Getting to know clients over the years and being their family photographer is something that I will always cherish. We found sticks, played along the creek, and had fun exploring the park. Treating a photo session like an outdoor adventure is something everyone can find fun and entertaining.

During the photo session, I took not only family photos, but also photos of the kiddos in celebration of their upcoming birthdays. I’ll save those photos to share for another time since I don’t want to spoil the mom’s announcements. In the meantime, I hope you enjoy these family photos taken during such a beautiful golden hour.
