Boulder is never short on amazing spots for family photos. Some of the most popular are Chautauqua, South Mesa, Flat Irons Vista, and NCAR. If you love these places, we should head there for your family photo shoot. However, because I have the appropriate permit necessary for photo shoots in Boulder, there are a lot of places that are less busy and will bring a different flavor to your session.

Boulder, Colorado is absolutely beautiful year-round. I’ve done photos there in the dead of winter as well as the middle of summer, there’s no wrong time to do your family photos at any of the Boulder locations. It honestly just depends what type of background you’d like and that will dictate when you should book. If you’re interested in Fall colors as the backdrop of your family photos, you definitely need to book earlier than normal to secure a date. October dates fly off my calendar quickly! If you have some flexibility with your calendar, then there’s no emergency rush to pick a date.

While it does snow often in Boulder, if you’re wanting a snowy session, we might have to play it by ear. Once we see snow in the forecast, we will be in touch to see if anything works with our schedules.

One of my favorite perks that I provide for my booked families is a wardrobe inspo board. This is where you’ll tell what color themes you love, how many family members are in your family, and the overall vibe you’re shooting for. I’ll pull links, and put it all together in a great little inspo board for you to shop from.
It’s important that you dress for comfort, and wear something that fits within our location. For example, if we select an urban setting, it might look a little mismatched if everyone was in fancier attire.
Layering clothes and accessorizing is always suggested! Beanies, hats, scarfs, cardigans, blazer jackets- yes to all!

I’m looking forward to being your Boulder Family Photographer. Seriously. I have no doubt that we can make some incredible family photos for your friends to see. Be sure to follow me on Instagram because I post a lot of inspo photos on there! Let’s talk about your vision and get a date on the calendar!
