As a wife, business owner, avid traveler, and mom of twin boys, I understand how busy life can get, especially during the year’s second half. Family photos begin to fall to the bottom of your list and can often be forgotten entirely. As our families grow, children change and become adults quicker than we can believe. Having photographs to cherish and reflect on will quickly become your most prized possession. Family photos in Colorado are unique, surrounded by breathtaking scenery and beauty found year-round. Throughout the blog, we’ll explore why you should book family photos this year, especially in Colorado.

Stunning Natural Landscape

As a Denver family photographer, I spend a lot of time outdoors, capturing families in their natural element. When we begin planning your family photos, we’ll discuss what kind of look you want for your photos. Perhaps you’re looking for an authentic, lifestyle outdoor feel. Colorado is known for its endless opportunities for adventure and incredible landscapes, from the towering Rocky Mountains to meadows of wildflowers and golden fields that are perfect for your family photos. Outdoor family photos are a great way to celebrate the beauty of your home in Colorado while allowing your kiddos to feel confident and comfortable in front of the camera.

Flexibility Within Various Seasons

Are you worried about missing the ‘right’ time for family photos? One of the most incredible aspects of photographing in this area is that all seasons are great for photos. Winter can be beautiful with freshly fallen snow and likely flexible schedules with photographers. Planning a winter activity during your session is a fun time to create memories with the kiddos. Spring is beautiful in Colorado. The colors are blooming, the days are getting longer but not so late that it interferes too much with kids’ bedtimes, and it’s a great time to get back outdoors with the family.

Summer is a great time to embrace longer days and adventure outdoors! Perhaps you want to plan an adventure exploring outdoors or end your session with ice cream. Fall is arguably the most popular family session. Many enjoy the cooler weather and outdoor colors, and it’s the perfect time for holiday cards.

Adventure While Creating Memories Together During Family Photos in Colorado

Lastly, if you’re looking for a reason to get outdoors with your people, here it is! Colorado is known for its endless opportunities for adventure, and I love being asked to tag along to capture the memories. Throughout the state, there are many incredible spots for family photos and a bit of fun. The best family photos come when your family can be themselves and let loose. The moments where anyone feels uncomfortable or shy can be felt through photos. This is why I work in a lifestyle approach that focuses on capturing authentic moments rather than posed stiff ones.

If you’re considering booking family photos and want to celebrate the beauty of Colorado while having fun, getting outdoors is the best way to do just that! Schedule your session at a park you’ve never been to, pack a picnic and go for a hike, or let your kids run around and play. I promise the photos will be worth it.
