The Golden Hour
When I got dressed and grabbed the camera in time for sunset, I told Miguel expressly that we weren’t going to do another floaty, hazy set of images, something that’s become a bit of a habit when visiting his dad’s house in the middle of the Portuguese countryside. Pah! As if that was going to happen! I’m not sure there is much else you can do in rolling fields full of tall grass – you try not swishing your skirt or dancing on your tiptoes as the sun goes down. Impossible!
Whilst waiting for the ‘golden hour’, Miguel and I set down our blanket and thumbed through our traveling copy of Wish magazine in celebration of the second batch going on sale today! Surrounded by sheep, I’m almost certain our situation couldn’t have been any more idyllic. Silence, aside from the familiar summer sound of bells around the necks of the roaming herd. The slow internet connection is a blessing in disguise when it forces you outdoors to appreciate simpler pleasures. x

This is one of my favorite posts from you, ever. The light, your dress, the whole hazy beautiful atmosphere–to die for.
Hi! I really love the way the sun is treated in your pictures, makes a lot of dreamy poses.
I have also a question for the Wish magazine : do you plan on making a magazine each season? Thanks for your time you can answer me at oliveetcafe@gmail.com!
I just received my copy of Wish, yesterday (I live in Quebec, a french province in Canada) and I squeeled of happiness. I made a strong coffee and went on my balcony, their was a little rain, so comfy and lets say I adore everything in your magazine!!! You are like «la main de Midas», everything you touch seems to turn gold!
Beautiful! The light is amazing, and I love your dress. Polk dots make my heart happy. This post makes me want to get outside and enjoy the last bits of summer before fall rolls around. Thanks for the smile.
