I love shooting during the golden hour. I typically suggest to my clients that we meet either first thing in the morning or during the golden hour to take advantage of that beautiful light. If you click over to Sarah’s blog, you’ll see a number of great tips for shooting during the “Golden Hour.” Meanwhile, I’ll share a few of my favorite photos shot during the Golden Hour. Enjoy!

I meet with the family above on a yearly basis to capture a moment worthy of the annual Christmas card. Last year, we went out to the family farm during the golden hour – it was gorgeous!

During another portrait session, my clients brought their dogs with them. These sweet fur babies loved running in the sun and I got an opportunity to chase after them.

I could probably share a few more photos, but I’ll leave you with this last shot taken in November when I met up with Kat from Kat Eye Studio. Her son, Brandon, was a trip to photograph. As far as the photo itself, I love the natural haze of shooting during the golden hour with backlighting. It’s my favorite!
