Summertime Family Photo Sessions
When it comes to family photography, summertime in Colorado is pure magic. The warm weather, golden light, laid back vibes and epic landscapes combine to create unforgettable, bliss-filled photos that feel as good as they look. Here’s why I think summer is truly the best season to schedule your Front Range, Colorado family photo session:
Breathtaking Backdrops Everywhere
From the beautiful grounds of Wash Park, Denver to the blue waters of Coot Lake to the sun-drenched Flatirons of Boulder, Colorado’s natural scenery comes alive in summer. Trails are open, mountain passes are accessible, and everywhere you turn is a postcard-worthy view. Whether you’re drawn to alpine lakes (such as featured in RMNP), rustic trails, or open fields, summer offers unparalleled variety.
Glorious Golden Hour
Summer evenings in Colorado last longer, meaning more time to capture that dreamy golden light. A sunset session in the foothills or up in the mountains bathes your family in warmth and glow—perfect for natural, timeless images that radiate connection.
More Flexibility for Families
With school out and many families taking time off, summer makes it easier to gather everyone together—no coordinating around hectic school or sports schedules. You can even make your photo session part of a vacation or weekend adventure.
Relaxed Vibes
Bare feet in the grass, breezy dresses, ice cream and froyo, kids playing freely—summer brings a natural ease and joy to photos. You’re not bundling up against wind or cold, and that comfort shows in your expressions and easy interactions with your loved ones.
Endless Outdoor Options
Summer opens the door to stunning outdoor locations that are only accessible a few months of the year. Dreaming of a session in a field of sunflowers? A lush green park? Scenic open space views? A creekside picnic? Summer’s your season for all this and more.
It Just Feels Good
There’s a certain energy in Colorado during summer—sunny days, spontaneous hikes, picnics at the park, and late sunsets. That mood infuses your session with authenticity and joy, making your photos not just beautiful, but meaningful and truly memorable.
