Proof that winter light is just as dreamy — and just as golden


Even in the cooler months, the sun still shows off.


This golden hour family session at Raglan Beach was captured in winter (July 18th to be exact) , and the light couldn’t have been more perfect. Cozy outfits, sandy toes, and soft skies — what more could you ask for?
