Castlewood Canyon Newborn Creek Session
Ashley and her crew were so beautiful to hang out with during this newborn session to celebrate baby Drew (and Ashley!) in the creek at Castlewood Canyon. If you venture just a little bit farther downstream there is a beautiful part of the creek that is perfect for splashing and exploring, without feeling too overwhelmed with littles in/near the water. Easy enough to get to for this new mama while carrying her newborn and her small boys. This is just the second time I have used this location and I can already tell it will be one I will travel to often in the years to come. I’m okay with that.
Baby Drew was a few weeks old during our time together. Colorado weather kept doing its thing and we had to change our date a few times. By the time we met, Ashely and her crew were in a beautiful groove with their new family member. The dance of being a new parent is one I think we quickly forget. It is a mesmerizing flow of love and trust, sacrifice and selflessness, empathy and humility. It is a gift to be able to watch families grow and transform from their small nests, to place roots like trees in the ground and become sturdy forms, strong in the winds of the world. Growing those little babes into strong, just, tolerant people is hard work. Ashley and Bryan you guys are doing it right.

I loved our time together in the canyon. Ashley, her boys, and their sweet Golden, Sadie, put in the steps with me and we created a gallery they can cherish forever. I would love to connect with you and your family, in whatever stage that looks like, to document the moments that matter to you. Be it a quiet creek or a vast mountain side, I promise, I will be there, ready to make time stop and show you that love you hold in your hearts for each other.
Castlewood Canyon Creek Family Session
This creek family session in the center of Castlewood Canyon was made possible by this kick ass mama and some location scouting by me a few weeks ago. In Colorado, we have crazy weather where sometimes it will be lovely and warm and sunny and then, we will have a snowstorm (like this weekend, and it’s nearly June!). I have sincere love for scouting new locations, even better when I can do it with my family. My boys and I headed out on a beautiful Saturday morning for a hike someplace new. I had been to Castlewood Canyon, but not down on the trails at the bottom. Wow, that’s all I can say. Certainly, a longer hike than most all of my other locations (save a few) but, the crystal clear creek and golden light are absolutely worth the trek down to this amazing spot.
Olivia and her crew met up with me this past fall for family photos and I was over the moon to get a chance to hang out with her and her babes again. This time, with mama along too! Olivia showed up at the park with their “session clothes” in tow as the hike down to the canyon bottom is a bit dirty and you need to have on hiking shoes. Ready to go, we took off down the trail. With each step, the kids were getting more and more excited to play in the water, which made me super excited too! We were all giddy to get in and play, especially Blake. That girl LIVES for the water and we have the proof right here in this gallery.

When you book a session with me, you get access to my client exclusive location catalog. This catalog hosts a wide variety of locations in and around Colorado Springs. On occasion, I will find a new spot like this and if it’s good enough, I will add it to the catalog, which is super exciting! I am constantly on the lookout for new spaces that show off the beauty of our state AND ones that are off the beaten path. I don’t really like crowds and I definitely don’t like taking turns to take a photo in a certain spot. Sessions just don’t flow well that way and I want everyone to feel pressure free. Anyway, let’s hang in a new spot, maybe this one? Hit a girl up.
