The evening sun during golden hour provides great lighting for portrait photography, due to the lower angle of sunlight, as well as the golden colour of the light. On this particular day, while recently holidaying in Pemberton with friends, the cloud cover in the west during golden hour diffused the sunlight, providing fantastic lighting for some portraits.
Facing Zoe (friends' daughter) towards the setting sun provided some great lighting on her face, and she was happy to pose for the camera, hugging one of the veranda posts.
