Now Casting: One Family for an Exclusive Golden Hour Portrait Experience
There is something magical about golden hour.
The warm sunlight, the gentle breeze through the tall grass, the laughter of children running through an open field—these are the moments that create the most meaningful family portraits.
Heather Elizabeth Studios is excited to announce an exclusive Golden Field Sunset Family Model Call at beautiful Glenwood Gardens, and we are searching for one special family to help bring this vision to life.
My Vision
This session is designed to capture authentic family connections in a stunning golden field during sunset. The focus will be on genuine moments rather than stiff poses—snuggles, laughter, playful interactions, and the beautiful relationships that make your family unique.
The resulting images will be used for portfolio building, website content, social media, and future marketing materials that showcase our signature outdoor family photography experience.
Who We’re Looking For
We are currently seeking:
- A family with 2–3 children
- Children between 6 months and 10 years old
- Families who love natural, candid photography
- Parents willing to follow wardrobe styling guidance
- Families willing to sign a model release allowing images and behind-the-scenes content to be used for marketing purposes

✨ A complimentary one-hour sunset portrait session at Glenwood Gardens

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the session really complimentary?
Yes! The selected family will receive the session and 25 professionally edited digital images at no cost.
Why is this a model call?
The images and behind-the-scenes content from the session will be used by Heather Elizabeth Studios for portfolio display, social media, website content, and marketing materials.
What should we wear?
Wardrobe styling plays an important role in creating the soft, timeless look envisioned for this session. To complement the warm golden tones of the field and sunset light, families should plan to wear neutral, coordinated colors rather than matching outfits.
Think soft creams, ivory, beige, taupe, light khaki, oatmeal, soft blues, muted sage, dusty rose, and other earthy, natural tones. Clothing should feel classic and effortless, with simple silhouettes and minimal logos, graphics, or busy patterns. Flowing dresses, textured fabrics, linen, cotton, knits, and layered pieces photograph beautifully in an outdoor setting.
The goal is to create a cohesive look that allows your family’s connection and personalities to shine while ensuring the images remain timeless for years to come.
Selected families will receive personalized wardrobe guidance, including color palette recommendations and styling suggestions for each family member, to help create a beautifully coordinated final gallery.
What happens if we are not selected?
Families who apply but are not chosen will receive an exclusive 20% discount toward a future family portrait session.
We Can’t Wait to Meet You
If you’ve been dreaming of beautiful family portraits filled with sunshine, connection, and genuine emotion, we’d love to hear from you.
We cannot wait to create something truly special during this magical golden hour experience.
