Castle Rock 1
pine trees
A gorgeous forest of pines, full foliage, and dirt paths. This is a favorite in the fall, and especially once leaves have fallen in late fall because of the pines.
Castle Rock 2
rustic downtown
A rustic/country feel with building backdrops, including a white and metal barn. Within a short walk there are also some large rocks and a creek. If you like variety, this is a good option if you don't mind walking around to the various places of interest. Not as suitable for small children due to the amount of walking.
Castle Rock 3
New for 2025
mountain views
Pines trees, nature, and mountain views make this a desirable location for families with older children. It requires a reasonable amount of walking, therefore it is not as suitable for small kids if you wish to capture the mountains since they will be photographable only at the end of the session when kids have usually reached their limit. Great location even without the mountains.
*Requires a $100 trip fee
Centennial 1
my favorite
This spot beautifully displays mature trees, dirt paths, wild grass, a bridge (best in certain light only), large rocks, and a creek. Great for a morning session too. If you are looking for nature, you will love it! This little gem is by far a favorite and recommended for anyone that is having a hard time deciding.
Centennial 2
barn + farmhouse
A red barn, silo, and historic white farmhouse. Trees are within walking distance, and give some nature variety to this location. There is a wonderful open field for sun drenched pictures when the sun is setting.
Centennial 3
fallen logs
Mature trees, wild grass, and fallen logs. Simple, yet beautiful year round.
Centennial 4
indoor studio
A beautiful, indoor, nautral light, fully furnished studio rental. Great for maternity, family, or baby sessions. Details at the link below.
*Requires a studio reservation in advance. Feel free to inquire and I will check the studio calendar.
*Requires studio rental fees that begin at $95 for weekdays and $115 for weekends
Centennial 5
New for 2025
fallen logs, paths, and trees
This is a great spot for my nature loving families who have already done Centennial 1. Keep in mind there's a little bit of a walk to get to the fallen logs, mature trees, and long grass. The first example shows a sunrise session; the second example shows this location at sunset.
Highlands Ranch 1
historic mansion
A beautiful historic mansion with rock and brick options and a unique iron gate. Nature surrounds the buildings. Formal or casual. We will photograph on the outdoor grounds only.
*If you're interested in this spot, check the calendar for availability on your session date. I will check it again closer to your session.
Highlands Ranch 2
canopy of trees
A perfect spot to capture a nature backdrop with a quaint dirt path. The grove of mature trees lining the path gives it a canopy feel. I love to stay in one place (the best spot) at this location. It's just a short walk from the lot. If you're looking for spring blossoms, this is the place to go!
Littleton 1
small town urban
Multiple backdrops including brick, historic buildings, wall murals, and a ton of variety. Not as suitable for small children because it does require a good amount of walking. Clients gravitate toward this location when the leaves have fallen in later fall and winter. Lovely anytime of year. The second example shows the potential for this location at sunrise.
Littleton 2
wading creek
There is a shallow wading creek that is perfect for families who want to get some playful moments of children in the water. This location also has a small train track. Great spot for children when it's warm. I recommend this location in summer months or early fall.
Parker 1
New for 2025
simple nature
A groves of trees for shade and long wild grass nestled along a dirt path. Simple and perfect for the family that doesn't mind a short walk from the car, but then prefers to stay put once we reach "the good spot" (this can be a great strategy for little ones with shorter attention spans). The example pictures are in the fall, but it is beautiful all year long!
Parker 2
country barn + nature
An off the beaten path location with a country feel featuring a red, white, and cement colored barn. Within a short walk there are lovely trees and long grass for variety.
Your Home
New for 2025
lifestyle photography
Looking for something new and unique? Consider a lifestyle session in your home. We can do a feather pillow fight on the bed, bake cooking together in the kitchen, capture snuggles on the couch, and/or have a popcorn war! The possibilities are endless and I will come with so many ideas! This just might be the "something different we haven't done before" that you're looking for.
Locations greater than 20 miles from my home in Parker are subject to a trip fee, starting at $100.
Boulder
mountain views
A beautiful mountain setting with a view of the Flatirons. There are trails, mature bushes and foliage, a small rock structure, and a split rail fence. The mountains are only photographable once the sun dips behind the ridge. Therefore, if your session requires an earlier start time for any reason, it's not as likely we can capture the mountains well on a sunny day.
*Requires a $100 trip fee + a $50 permit fee
Denver
downtown urban
The perfect urban setting that has it all: skyscrapers, streets, cool building detail, steps, a bridge, and even some potential nature options along the river. Saturdays preferred due to traffic and parking.
*Requires a $100 trip fee
