Picture your family surrounded by the stunning red rock formations and incredible views of Garden of the Gods. A session here isn’t just about taking pictures—it’s about the experience.
We’ll explore the park together, enjoying the iconic scenery and the magic of a Colorado sunset. I’ll capture the laughter, connection, and love that make your family unique. Whether you’re all about outdoor adventures or just excited to try something new, a session at Garden of the Gods is an unforgettable way to create beautiful memories.
Garden of the Gods is an incredible place for family photos, with its dramatic red rock formations and mountain views creating a stunning backdrop. Once you book, we’ll discuss a the best spots in the park to capture the light and scenery.
I’ve spent a lot of time exploring the park and have favorite spots that offer a little privacy, away from the busier areas. These spaces let us focus on capturing your family’s connection while enjoying the beauty of the park without distractions.
Whether you’re drawn to the towering red rocks, winding trails, or sweeping vistas, we’ll find the perfect location to highlight the natural beauty of the park and make your session feel special and memorable. My goal is to create an experience that’s as enjoyable as the photos themselves!
The outfits you choose play a crucial role in enhancing the overall aesthetic of your photos, especially against the vibrant landscapes of Garden of the Gods. Upon booking your session, you'll receive my style guide filled with advice on colors, textures, and accessories to consider. Additionally, you'll have access to my client closet for outfit selections at no extra cost, ensuring that your family looks cohesive and stunning against the park's natural backdrop.
Garden of the Gods is best experienced with a full session. The Full Session (45 minutes) gives us the time to explore the park’s iconic spots and take in its breathtaking scenery. Many of the most stunning locations require a bit of walking or hiking to reach. The extra time lets us relax, capture variety, and even enjoy a gorgeous Colorado sunset—a highlight of any session here.
If you’re looking for something shorter, I also offer Short Sessions (20 minutes) and Mini Sessions (10 minutes). These are great for capturing a handful of beautiful moments at one of the park’s easily accessible locations. While they’re perfect for a quick and simple session, the full session truly offers the best experience for making the most of this incredible location.
No matter the session length, you’ll walk away with photos that highlight the beauty of the park and the love of your family!

✨ Part 5 of my What to Wear for Your Fall Session series is here — and we’re talking all about the kids! ✨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When it comes to dressing kids, the key is simple + comfortable. The goal? Outfits that look polished but still let them move, play, and have fun during your session.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👦 For boys: chinos, corduroys, or jeans with a long sleeve t-shirt or button-down. Layer on a flannel, jacket, or beanie for extra texture + warmth. Finish the look with neutral sneakers or boots.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👧 For girls: long sleeve dresses in neutral or earth tones are always a win. Soft fabrics that twirl + move make for the sweetest photos. Add accessories like boots, bows, or headbands to pull everything together.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Because at the end of the day — the best outfits are the ones that let your kids be themselves. ❤️
