If you’ve ever seen a photo where the light feels soft and golden and everyone looks like they’re glowing — that’s golden hour. It’s the hour just before sunset when the light is dreamy, warm, and absolutely magical.

For family photography, golden hour creates an emotional, timeless feel. Kids look angelic (even if they were wrestling five minutes before), and every hug, handhold, and in-between moment looks (and feels) cinematic.

I shoot golden hour sessions in and around Atlanta, especially in open fields or tree-lined spaces that let the light filter through beautifully. Timing is key — we plan around the sun and keep sessions playful so kids feel relaxed and connected.

If you’re dreaming of photos that feel a little more like art than a checklist, golden hour might be your moment. Plus, in the South, we’ll take any opportunity to appreciate the cooler air!

Reach out early — they go fast (especially in spring and fall).
