Colorado Springs Family Photography Session at Garden of the Gods
Family Photography Session at Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs
A mohawk, a bolo tie, the cutest pigtails, a man bun, and one barefooted mama, was this beautiful family session with Amanda Zoe and her crew. From the moment she and I talked, I was smitten with the love she had for her children. The grace and kindness. The genuine love and caring she exudes from her heart.
This family traveled down from Denver to hang out with me at the base of Pikes Peak in our breathtaking Garden of the Gods. This space allowed her family to explore and play. Connected. In love. Can I also say, her session clothing choices were on point! Like, really really. The whimsical boho style and feel of it all together were perfect for the setting and their personalities.
I know a lot of photographers are scared when it comes to photographing children. They are afraid the kids will, well, be kids. I LIVE for it. Bring me your craziest bunch and I will just soak it all up and capture what I feel to be the essence of what it is like to be a kid again. This is what keeps me sane in a world where adult problems are forever bounding and lurking around every corner.
Don’t be afraid mama. Don’t be afraid daddy. Bring those babies and yourselves and just LIVE with me. Don’t let your fear of your kids “not acting like they should” keep you from booking a family photography session. Trust me, they act JUST as they should. They are kids! Let them be kids and I will take care of the rest. I promise to be patient, kind, and understanding. I promise to love them with my whole heart even though we just met. I promise to honor their personalities and genuine laughter with my camera and then deliver you a gallery that shows you all of that from the outside in. A perspective that you don’t often get on your own.
Let’s hang? Let’s play? Until then, soak up the fun love from Amanda Zoe’s crew through my favorite images below and that oh so lovely slideshow above. Click play, I dare you.
