I’m sure you’ve seen those gorgeous golden hour portraits that professional photographers post on their websites and Instagram feeds. You know the ones: smiling happy families, all back lit and glowing with hope and promise. As an amateur photographer you sigh and wish you could, one day, be as good as that. Well, I’m here to tell you that today is that “one day” you’ve been wishing for.

It is far easier than you might think, and I’m going to show you how to achieve that look, taking you through the steps of selecting a location, which camera settings to use, how to take the photo, and which Lightroom settings to use when editing. You can even do this all on a mobile device if you don't have a mirrorless camera or laptop with Lightroom installed.
