5 Reasons Summer is the Best Season to Book Your Colorado Family Photo Session

Colorado Family Photos

Summer is my favorite time of year in Colorado. It is also the best season to book your yearly family photo session. Below are 5 reasons why:

  1. The weather is warm! Even on those chilly Colorado evenings the temperature is warm. This is especially important if you have any little ones in your family. While I still recommend bringing extra layers, you won’t have to worry as much about it and they can wear those cute summer outfits.

2. The summer skies are stunning. In the winter and fall months there is usually not a cloud in the sky. But in summer we get the most beautiful clouds, as the summer storms roll through. This adds a dramatic element to your photos and really showcases the Colorado landscape.

3. Colorado is so colorful in the summer! The landscape really comes to life in the summer with lush green grass and even some wildflowers.

4. You’ll get your photos back faster!. Fall is definitely the busiest season for photographers which means longer turn around times for you. Right now my turn around time is about 1 week. I hope to keep it under 2 weeks throughout the fall but it could take as long as 3-4 weeks to get your photos back.

5. It’ll be less stressful! Once fall rolls around, kids will be back at school and your weekends will be packed with activities. Especially this year when we will be making up for all the activities that got canceled in 2020 due to COVID. Instead of rushing to get your photos done in time to order those holiday cards, why not book your session for summer instead. Also the carefree atmosphere of summer is perfect for a photo session! Let those kiddos play, explore and have fun during your session.

✨ Propaganda I’m not falling for:
-Fall is the best season for family photos
-Photo sessions  with toddlers are too stressful
-Golden hour is overrated
-Only big milestones are worth documenting
-You can't have fun AND get good photos

The truth:
🌼 Every season has its magic.
👣 Toddlers are chaos and joy wrapped in one.
📸 The everyday moments matter just as much as the big ones.
☀️ And golden hour? always worth it, even those late summer nights

What’s in my camera bag?
A little bit of gear… and a little bit of “just in case.” 😅📸

I come ready for anything a session throws our way—because when you’re wrangling toddlers, exploring and chasing the light, you got to be prepared!

Here’s what I never leave home without 👇
✔️ R5 + 28-70mm (my go-to)
✔️ 35mm lens
✔️ Backup camera + lens
✔️ Extra batteries + SD cards
✔️ Lens cleaning cloth
✔️ Camera toy for the littles
✔️ Hand sanitizer, band-aids, and trash bags (leave no trace and can protect my gear from rain!)
