Behind the Scenes

Founded in South Florida in 2019 by Liel (she/her) and Alyssa (she/her), Chasing Golden Hours is all about celebrating life’s beautiful moments.

What began as a mission to transform the, often intimidating photo session into a laidback, fun experience has grown into something even more special.

Now based in Colorado, Liel and Alyssa traded sandy beaches for mountain backdrops, capturing light as it dances through trees and across peaks—all while making their clients feel truly seen and authentically beautiful.

As of 2025, Chasing Golden Hours has expanded to include thoughtfully curated luxury picnic experiences, combining elevated aesthetics with the warmth of intimate gatherings. Whether through a lens or under the open sky, they’re in the business of making memories that feel golden.

Love Notes

"From the start, she made us feel super comfortable and really captured the vibe we were going for—lighthearted, candid, and full of personality."

“We had the absolute pleasure of working with Liel for a recent photoshoot, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! From start to finish, Liel made everything feel effortless and fun. Their attention to detail, creativity, and passion for photography truly shine through in every shot. Not only did they capture the moment beautifully, but they also made me feel comfortable and at ease throughout the process.
The quality of the photos is stunning—each one feels like a work of art. Whether you're looking for portraits, family photos, or something more creative, Liel has the perfect eye for it. Their professional yet friendly approach makes working with them an absolute joy, and the turnaround time for the final images was impressively fast.
If you're in need of a talented photographer who goes above and beyond to deliver exceptional results, I highly recommend Chasing Golden Hours. You won't be disappointed!” - Elizabeth & Adam

“Liel has been taking photos of me for years and her work is always beautiful. She makes you feel so comfortable and confident the whole time. I highly recommend her, you will love the photos and her!!” - Megan

“I booked a session for my grad school picture with Chasing Holden Hours and I am SO glad I did! My only regret is not booking sooner. I tend to feel anxious and awkward behind a camera, especially in public settings, but they made me feel so comfortable and confident throughout the entire process (and it was fun!). Liel effortlessly brought my vision to life and the pictures turned out better than I could have even imagined. I cannot recommend Chasing Golden Hours enough for anyone looking for stunning, professional photography.” - El

“I recently booked Liel for a fun photo session with my friends, and we had the best time! From the start, she made us feel super comfortable and really captured the vibe we were going for—lighthearted, candid, and full of personality. The photos came out so good.
She was incredibly easy to work with—professional, punctual, and just genuinely fun to be around. If you’re looking for someone who can effortlessly capture good energy and real moments, I highly recommend her!” - Zoe
