Summer in Frisco: Family Photos

As I sit at my desk creating this post I’m looking outside at our latest snow storm and temps in the single digits. Don’t get me wrong, I love living in a winter wonderland, but sometimes, just sometimes a girl needs to thaw out a little. So I decided to share with you David and Caroline’s family photos from a beautiful late summer day last season!

David and Caroline wrote to me about scheduling family photos before their family’s annual summer trip to Summit County. Typically, more of my family photos happen on winter break but I was excited at the opportunity to capture some of Summit’s summer beauty with this extended family who loves the area so much. We had great fun roaming around some of my favorite spots in Frisco and creating oodles of portrait combinations for them. They even ordered a beautiful family album as a keepsake for the year! (Such a great idea!) I like to photograph at the end of the day so that my clients get a variety of “moods” from the photos. From bright and colorful full sun to that warm gold as the sun sets, to all the beautiful and subtle tones of the sky after the sun dips below the mountains and the horizon.

If you’re interested in family photos during your next vacation to these amazing Colorado rockies, give me a shout!

Winter Family Photos in Summit County Colorado

I was recently contacted by Lauren who was planning their first family trip to Keystone from Texas. She found me through Instagram, which was awesome, and was psyched to be coming to here for the first time. After discussing the look they were going for and we set the date.

It was a stormy week but the date we picked as most ideal turned out to be beautiful…albeit a beautifully COLD day. It was a whopping 9 degrees. Even living here I was chilly but being from Texas, it was even a little more of a shock. The whole family were total troopers though. Even the kiddos made the best of it and managed to have some fun! Thankfully, they had decided on a mini session, which kept things very brief. Mini family sessions come with minimal portrait combinations and are 30 minutes max and just what they were looking for.

The late afternoon light was beautiful and golden and as the sun set we were rewarded with a hint of that every so pretty in pink alpenglow.

If you’re interested in a family session of your own, I offer them Mondays-Thursdays and would be happy to consult with you. Just shoot me an email!
