Imagine your family playing together with the stunning Colorado scenery and picturesque views as the backdrop!
As a family photographer in Colorado Springs, I specialize in creating adventurous sessions that capture more than just smiles—they capture real, joyful moments. A session with me isn't just a photo shoot, it's an experience! We’ll go on a short hike, explore the area, and embrace the beauty of the outdoors. Whether your family loves to hike or is new to outdoor adventures, I’ll guide you through a fun and relaxed session that showcases your connection and love for one another.
Colorado Springs offers so many breathtaking locations for family photos, from wide-open fields to red rock formations and mountain vistas. My family photo sessions take place at one of my hand-selected adventurous locations to ensure beautiful light, room to explore, and, of course, incredible views.
Once you book your session, I’ll send over my exclusive location guide to help you choose the perfect setting. Whether you’re drawn to dramatic mountain backdrops or peaceful meadows, we’ll find the spot that fits your family best.
The outfits you choose are a key element in the overall look and feel of your photos. Colors, textures, patterns, and accessories all play a part in telling your story. I know styling can be stressful, which is why I provide lots of support!
Once your session is booked, you’ll receive my style guide filled with tips and tricks, plus access to my client closet at no extra cost. The looks featured below were styled entirely with pieces from the closet!
Your session will be fun for everyone—kids and adults alike! We’ll play games, explore the surroundings, and keep things lighthearted to capture natural smiles and authentic connection. I’ll gently guide you with prompts so you never feel unsure of what to do.
Whether it’s a playful race with the kids or a quiet moment to take in the view, I’ll make sure your session is relaxed, meaningful, and unforgettable. As a family photographer in Colorado Springs, I’ve created this experience to be just as memorable as the photos themselves.
I offer a few different session lengths to fit your family’s needs:
No matter the length, I’ll make sure we capture the joy, connection, and personality that makes your family unique!
Are you ready to add a bit of adventure to your family photos and create lasting memories together? I would love to meet your family and tell your story through beautiful, candid photography.

✨ 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
