Golden Hour by the River: A September Story

Some stories don’t need many words — just a quiet afternoon, the gentle rhythm of a river, and the way a child’s laughter fills the air.

This family photoshoot in Kyiv captured the warmth of early autumn, the golden light of September, and the beautiful bond between a mother and her son. We wandered the riverbank, danced in the sand, and paused beneath trees turning gold — each frame filled with love, movement, and that unmistakable feeling of home.

As a family photographer, these intimate, poetic moments are my favourite to document — especially in familiar places like this, where nature and city quietly meet.
