Golden Light | Gold Coast Family Photographer | Mike & Ella

Sourcing locations to shoot—with backdrops that simply light up as the sun dips towards the horizon—has been one of my favourite elements of this photography journey. A friend recently pointed me in the direction of this lakeside neighbourhood in the Currumbin Valley. Here the sun drops behind the hinterland much earlier than if we were taking photos at the beach. It’s perfect for a not-too-late-for-the-kiddos golden hour session, that’s also really peaceful and secluded.
