This is my second time working with Vivienne, Bobby and Elsie, who asked me back to take some family portraits a little before the holidays last year.  This time we met in a gorgeous neighborhood with some of the most scenic views one could ask for.

The weather was gorgeous, too, and we timed the shoot for the best time of day: right before sunset, when the light casts a perfect golden hue over everything it touches.  In cinematography, it’s referred to as the “magic hour.”  One glimpse at these photos and you’ll understand why you should plan to do the same for your next shoot…
