This is my favorite session of the summer. I’m not really sure why. Maybe because it was in beautiful Coeur d’Alene, ID. Or maybe because it was during gorgeous golden hour. Or there’s a good chance it was because it was with my niece, Elizabeth, the girl who made me an auntie. We were celebrating her 14th birthday.
It’s crazy how quick the magic happened. We did these the last night of my family’s vacation on Lake Coeur d’Alene. We only spent about 20 minutes taking photos. She had fresh lake hair, and didn’t do anything fancy to prepare. And she was herself which is what makes the photos the most beautiful.
