Denver In Home Lifestyle Newborn Photography
I haven’t posted in a while but I really love how this Denver in home lifestyle newborn photography shoot turned out. The family was wonderful to work with and I loved all the natural light in this home.
Denver Engagement Photo Locations
Denver and the surrounding areas (Golden! Boulder! Lyons!) offer an incredible variety of settings, scenes, and vibes for your engagement photography shoot. As a Denver engagement photographer who’s been doing it for a minute or two, here’s a curated list of some of my favorite engagement photo locations in the Denver metro area:
Downtown Denver & RINO Art District
For a more modern, urban aesthetic, Denver’s RiNo (River North) Art District is filled with colorful murals, industrial-chic backdrops, and trendy coffee shops. If you want a stylish and playful vibe, we can explore the alleyways, breweries, and hidden gems that make this neighborhood one of the best for engagement photos.
Lookout Mountain & Downtown, Golden, CO
If you’re looking for panoramic mountain views without a long hike, Lookout Mountain is perfect. Overlooking the city of Golden, this spot provides sweeping vistas of the foothills and an unbeatable golden-hour glow. And Downtown Golden is so cute and charming with lots of backdrops for photos and vibing.
LoHi (Lower Highlands in Denver)
Maybe my favorite area for Denver engagement photos. There’s a lot of historical buildings mixed in with new builds plus great restaurants and bars. If you’re looking for something eclectic, hip yet historical with lots of photographic appeal, LoHi is the place!
Chautauqua Park / Pearl Street / The Hill (Boulder)
Just a short drive from Denver, Chautauqua Park is a dream for couples who love nature. The Flatirons provide a striking backdrop, especially at golden hour. In the spring and summer, wildflowers add extra charm, while fall brings gorgeous golden aspen trees. And Pearl Street is lovely in the spring and summer, making it easy to capture you while you sip margaritas on the Rio’s rooftop or eat Gelato Boy as the sun dips behind the mountains.
Lyons, Colorado
A quaint small town (where my husband grew up) north of Boulder on the way to Estes Park. Lots of scenic open space options in the area with outdoor seating at Oskar Blues or Spirit Hound during the warm months. There’s also a fantastic pinball arcade downtown!
Coot Lake & Boulder Reservoir (Boulder County)
Coot Lake is another favorite Boulder County outdoor location of mine for shoots of all kinds. You can start there, then head over to Avery’s patio for a cold beer on a sunny day. Boulder Reservoir is right next to Coot Lake and is a beautiful body of water as well. There’s a great mix of terrain with the gorgeous foothills of the Rocky Mountains in the background. The views are absolutely stunning at sunset in the spring, summer, or fall.
Family Photography at Three Pond Park, Cherry Hills Colorado
I loved photographing this family reunion at Three Pond Park in Cherry Hills last fall. There is a level of interaction, intimacy, and candid emotion in these photos that, I think, are kind of rare with multi-generational family reunion photography. Put another way, you don’t have to just line everybody up in a group shot and make everyone say “cheese.” No, there is so much room to capture connection and small magical moments even in larger groups with a wider variety of age groups represented. I think this family reunion shoot shows that emotion and honest moments are abundant even with subject matter that has typically been unimaginative, staid and rather boring.
Littleton Family Photographer
This wintry wonderland / snow day family photo shoot in Littleton, Colorado was an absolute blast to shoot. This family had me on standby for the first snowfall of the season as they wanted a quintessential outdoor family shoot in the SNOW! Yeah, remember snow? It’s been a minute since we’ve had any along the Front Range until today (it’s snowing right now as I look out the kitchen window so I’ll take it!).
If you have little ones who still love and are mesmerized by the miracle of frozen white flakes falling from the heavens, consider booking me for a wintry, snowy photo shoot. These shoots are pretty magical and make memories that last a lifetime. Available in Littleton, Greater Denver and Boulder metro areas.
Rocky Mountain National Park Engagement Photos
I photographed the early winter engagement photos of Hannalee (who also happens to be my beloved niece) and Jim at the always stunning Rocky Mountain National Park (RMNP) near Estes Park.
The temps were absolutely frigid in early December but the love between Hannalee and Jim was more than enough for them to keep warm (sorry for the cheese there!).
Congratulations to you both and wishing you a lifetime of joy and happiness!
Rocky Mountain Arsenal Wildlife Refuge Senior Pictures
I photographed Lucie this fall at the stunning Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge. It’s a beautiful area that’s located near Denver and Commerce City that used to be an area where the government developed chemical weapons before converting the area into a wildlife refuge in the 90s. It’s also a place that makes for awesome senior pictures!
Christmas Family Photo Shoot | Denver Colorado
I love working with this family and really enjoyed the holiday-themed family photo shoot they chose to do this year. Hiring a photographer to capture your family as you pick out a Christmas tree or decorate your home with Xmas decorations can be a great activity that involves the whole family allows for lots of fun, candid moments for me to capture.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays Everyone!!!
