Location, location, location!! It’s no secret that the Denver area is full of scenic landscapes and stunning views. One of the questions I am often asked as a Denver photographer is “where do your sessions take place?”. Everywhere! I travel all over the Denver and Boulder metro-areas for sessions. After many adventures and sessions, I have narrowed down some favorites spots based on lighting, accessibility and scenery. I am excited to share some of my top location ideas with you!
Here are a few things to consider when selecting a location for your Denver family photo session. First of all, consider the time of year. Some locations may look amazing in soft, cool winter light. Others might shine with the green grasses of early summer. Second, consider your family’s wardrobe. Do you like to wear trendy, modern clothes or do you feel more comfortable in a neutral palettes. Will you be comfortable sitting on a fence in a dress? Third, don’t forget about the drive! Some children do amazing on longer drives, others arrive grumpy and upset. How far does your family tolerate? Finally, consider where you will display your images. Will a vibrant mural flow with your distressed wood wall? Will a rustic barn work in your ultra-modern condo? I can help you with all these questions!
With all of that said, ultimately, your family is always the focus of our images. Whether we meet in a local park, your backyard or in the Rocky Mountains, your family’s love and connection will always be the subject of my art. Let’s make something amazing together!
Denver Photo Locations
Here they are! My top ten favorite locations for Denver family photos:
1. Urban Location
Energetic, vibrant and hip!
Colorful murals and gritty alleys are fun backdrops for modern family photos!
2. Mountain Views
Sunlit, wondrous, and enchanting!
Those blue beauties! It’s what living in Colorado is all about.
3. Foothills
Pretty, earthy and serene!
Trees and rolling hills in the background, what’s not to love!
4. Barn or Fence
Rustic, warm and vintage!
There is nothing like a weathered old barn or fence to make a photographer happy.
5. In-Home
Authentic, timeless, sentimental!
Newborn or not, I absolutely adore capturing families in their homes.
6. Trees
Woodsy, natural, and unique!
Aspen trees and evergreens…I am a serious tree hugger!
7. Rocks
Artistic, textured, and dynamic.
From the iconic music venue of Red Rocks to the gigantic boulders in Boulder.
8. Neighborhood Park
Local, fun and effortless.
Wash Park is definitely a landmark in Denver!
9. Studio
Styled, minimal, and modern.
Holiday and Mother’s Day minis are available in-studio once (per occasion) a year! But feel free to book a family session in studio year-round.
10. Water
Serene, natural and relaxing.
So many sweet little spots with water in the Denver area!
