Chasing Light: A Sunset Family Mini Session Full of Love & Laughter 



Sunset sessions are always a favorite of mine, and this one checked all the boxes—beautiful light, a joyful family, and so many sweet, candid moments.


We met in the golden hour, when the sun hangs low and everything is bathed in that dreamy, soft glow. The kids ran and played, the parents snuggled in close, and the entire session felt relaxed and full of life. There’s something about that evening light that brings a calm, peaceful energy—even in the midst of silly laughter and bare feet in the grass.


 Why Sunset Is 

So

 Worth It


Sunset (aka “golden hour”) offers some of the best light of the entire day. It’s soft, flattering, and adds a magical warmth to every photo. It’s perfect for capturing both those quiet snuggles and playful, joy-filled moments.


Plus, evening sessions tend to feel a little slower, a little more present. Families settle in, the light shifts, and we just let it unfold.

 What to Expect

  • A mix of posed + candid shots
  • Playful prompts to keep kids engaged
  • A relaxed pace—no pressure to be perfect
  • Glowy, golden images you’ll treasure forever

Whether you’re updating family photos or just want to freeze this fleeting season of life, sunset is the perfect time to capture it.
