There’s something truly magical about a sunset session—especially when it’s a mama with her little girls, soaking in the beauty of golden hour together. I recently had the joy of capturing one of these sweet sessions at one of my favorite hidden gems in Lake County, and it reminded me why I always recommend scheduling your session just before the sun dips below the horizon.


This location is a dream. Picture willow trees swaying gently in the breeze, a sandy beach perfect for barefoot giggles, winding walking paths made for chasing light, and wildflowers sprinkled across a lush green landscape. It’s the kind of place that makes you slow down and breathe it all in. And when the sun starts to set? Pure magic.


During this session, dancing in the sand, they walked through wildflowers, and snuggled close to their mama—moments that feel soft and timeless. The warm light during sunset wraps everything in a golden glow, creating those dreamy tones that bring your photos to life.


If you’ve been thinking about booking a session, I can’t recommend golden hour enough. Whether it's capturing playful moments with your kids, a romantic couple’s shoot, or documenting your growing baby bump—sunset brings a little extra magic to every frame.


Let’s plan something beautiful. Your barefoot, golden hour, wildflower moment is waiting.
