AY+ Winter Pop-Up Sessions

Choosing a general mountain location near you! 
Depends... Because each range has its own unique geological features and recreational opportunities!

For family group photos I like to start with mixing both candid moments and lightly posed shots while I guide for a variety.
I’ll also take individual portraits, plus some playful moments to help the kids get their wiggles out and keep things fun.

Mountain or foothills backdrop means there are more than a few locations to choose from.
Just outside of Aurora, but close enough that allows for the look with minimum travel time.

1. South Valley Park – South Trailhead (Littleton)
~30 minutes
This is one of my top recommendations. It has amazing red rock formations, along with a view of the foothills, and mountain views and it's not usually too crowded.

2. Hildebrand Ranch Park (Littleton)
~30–35 minutes
This location has more open space, with mountain views, and a more natural setting, however a bit more relaxed and low-key.

3. Flatirons Vista Trailhead (Boulder area)
~40 minutes
This spot provides a view of the Flatirons and a wide open landscape. This is a bit more classic Colorado mountain backdrop.

Additional (more distant) options would include Lakewood, Golden, Boulder, Estes.
​
Lookout Mountain (Golden)
Bear Creek Lake Park (Lakewood)
Belmar Park (Lakewood)
Red Rocks Amphitheatre (Morrison)
Chautauqua Park (Boulder)
RMNP (Estes Park)

Are you willing to Hike for the View?
Some you can also drive!
Most of the time I make it an easy short trip from a trailhead, to a Creek or Lake even a park area to photo location of your choice!
