Golden Hour Bliss: A Summer Family Photoshoot in St. Albert


Edmonton Portrait Photographer

There’s something truly special about capturing the love and connection of a family through photography—especially when set against the breathtaking beauty of nature. This summer, we had the pleasure of photographing a wonderful family of four in a stunning open field in St. Albert, and the results were nothing short of magical!

A Picture-Perfect Setting


The golden hues of the setting sun bathed the field in a warm glow, creating the perfect natural backdrop. With tall grass swaying gently in the summer breeze and the sun positioned at a 45-degree angle, the lighting was absolutely dreamy. It was the kind of evening that makes you want to pause and soak in every beautiful moment.

A Family Full of Love


This beautiful family consisted of Mom, Dad, their adorable daughter, and their sweet baby boy. From the moment we started shooting, their love for one another shone through in every frame.

The little girl, full of energy and curiosity, twirled in her light summer dress, giggling as she ran through the tall grass. Her baby brother, nestled safely in Mom’s arms, gave the most heartwarming smiles, soaking in all the love and attention from his family.

Candid Moments & Genuine Smiles


We focused on capturing both posed portraits and natural, candid moments—the ones that truly tell a story. The dad lifted his daughter into the air as she squealed with delight, while Mom gently kissed her baby boy’s forehead, her face glowing with joy. One of our favorite shots was the whole family holding hands, walking together as the warm sunlight peeked through the grass.


Why Outdoor Family Photoshoots Are So Special


Outdoor family sessions offer a sense of freedom and authenticity that’s hard to match. The kids have space to explore, the parents can relax, and the natural light makes for effortlessly beautiful images. St. Albert’s scenic landscapes provide the ideal location for families looking to capture moments they’ll cherish forever.
