Why I love Golden Gardens at Golden hour
I’ve been photographing families for over a decade, and one thing never changes — there’s just something about golden hour. That soft, warm light that happens right before sunset has a way of bringing everything to life.
Golden hour isn’t about chasing perfect poses or dramatic skies. It’s about the calm that comes at the end of the day. The way parents hold their kids close, or the way the light dances off the water while a family laughs together. It’s those real, unplanned moments that make golden hour so powerful.
This time of day creates space for connection — the kind that can’t be forced. The soft glow of the sun gives everything a nostalgic warmth, turning everyday moments into something unforgettable. Whether it’s a family session, a couple celebrating their love, or kids simply being themselves, golden hour turns it all into something special.
Love, your photographer
