Golden Hour with Em Rink at Miami Beach

I recently had the pleasure of shooting with Em Rink from Que Models at Miami Beach on the Gold Coast, and the evening couldn’t have been more perfect. The sunset was absolutely stunning, casting that soft, golden light that made everything look just a little bit magical. We wrapped up the beach session with Em in a striking blue bikini, kindly gifted by TJ Swim, paired with a beach towel and pillow from Sunny Life for a fun, relaxed vibe.

After we chased the light on the beach and wandered up to Little Burleigh to watch the last rays of sun set behind the hills, we moved indoors for one final look before Em had to dash off to dinner. She was fantastic to work with—professional, easy-going, and absolutely captivating in front of the camera. Her freckles, especially in that warm sunset light, added such a unique and beautiful quality to the images.

The entire shoot was captured on film using my trusty Canon EOS 3, shooting 35mm for that timeless, unedited look that I love. If you’re curious about the gear I use, you can find the full breakdown over on Georges Cameras.

If you’re looking to book Em, she’s represented by Que Models. I can’t recommend her enough—she was a joy to work with and made every frame count.

This shoot reminded me of why I love this work: the incredible light, amazing people, and the simple beauty of film photography. Check out the full gallery, and let me know what you think!
