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!
"Alysia is so amazing "Alysia is so amazing and creative! I could not have asked for better photos! Our little one was not having it and it definitely doesn’t show as she got so many amazing shots of us! She was so fast with the turn around as well. I would 100% recommend her for photos!"
Garden of the Gods with two little boys is basically the perfect recipe for adventure.
We climbed, explored, ran around, took in the views, and somehow managed to sneak in plenty of sweet moments along the way.

A little wild, a little windy, and so full of personality.
Sometimes it looks like climbing on rocks, chasing toddlers, fixing hair in the wind, squeezing everyone together for two seconds, and laughing through the chaos.
