Although I’m pretty sure David is getting sick of constantly taking photos for the blog “into the sun during golden hour, please”, I can’t help it: this time of day seems especially beautiful during the chillier, sunny days. It’s also rather bittersweet, since you never know how many days it will be before you get to marvel in the beauty again. We pulled over on a whim and snapped these shots in about 5 minutes just as the sun was disappearing, and I couldn’t be happier with the results of such a speedy shoot.



I also finally received the pink version of this blouse and I love it just as much as the white. Get yours on sale here!
Wearing: H&M vest (love this longer, cozy version) & pants, YesStyle blouse, DVF flats, Coach bag (c/o), nails Deborah Lippmann Billionaire

And that bag is GORGEOUS! Wowza! Lovelovelove the 3rd photo of you – so cute! xo!

  2. Those photos are gorgeous, Jen! Two thumps-up to David. What time were these pictures taken? I have to try if I can catch the “golden hour” =)

  5. If only I had a better camera to take full advantage of the golden hour…
    These pictures are incredibly beautiful and so is your outfit! :o)

  6. He’s become the expert at these kinds of shots. Trying to get my semi-professional husband to shoot good pictures of people is almost impossible, which makes gorgeous impromptu shots like these make me boil with envy! :)

    You look golden and lovely. Of course!

    :)

    Did you get more determined to use that hoop after I let you know the benefits of a lighter hoop???

  11. Ahh you look so gorgeous! Haha, see, I’m always in school during the golden hour so I get the dark ominous hours of 5:30am or 7 pm and beyond.

    I’m so tempted to order your blouse after seeing how gorgeous it is on you!

  15. David might be getting tired of doing this kind of photo shoot, but the results are absolutely worth it. You look so lovely, and the glowing sunlight just adds to that. I think I might love the pink version of your YesStyle blouse even ore than the white one; it’s a perfect match for your fur vest :) It was so nice to see you on Saturday night. Hope you’re having a wonderful week so far.
