A Golden Hour at Burnside Farms: Where Joy Blooms

There’s something sacred about spring at Burnside Farms. The rows of tulips stretch wide under a golden sky, swaying gently in the breeze like they know they’re part of something magical. It’s a place that invites you to pause, breathe, and just be. And on this particular evening, I had the joy of capturing a family doing just that—being wholly present with one another.

Little ones always find wonder in the simplest things. This sweet girl was no exception. Her laughter was contagious, her curiosity boundless. Whether she was crouched in the dirt examining petals or erupting into giggles as her dad scooped her up, it was clear: this is what childhood should feel like. Wild and warm and totally untamed.

The tulips weren’t the only thing in full bloom that night—the love between this family radiated. Dad’s gentle kiss on the cheek, mom’s arms wrapped tight around her upside-down giggler, the in-between glances, the silent "I see you"s… they’re the moments that matter most.

And the light. Oh, the light. It kissed everything with the softest glow, wrapping the whole evening in gold and grace. These are the kinds of sessions that feel more like memories being lived than portraits being taken. It’s why I do what I do.

Why Sessions Like This Matter

It’s not just about pictures of your family—it’s about preserving the feel of a season. A chapter. A fleeting piece of your story. Sessions like these let you see what love looks like from the outside. They give your children proof—long after the moment has passed—that they were held, adored, and surrounded by beauty.

Burnside Farms gives us the perfect canvas. Your family brings the heart. I’m just lucky enough to witness it all.
