Lake Bow Mar is a Photographer’s Dream Canvas with its sun-drenched docks, winding bridal paths, boardwalks, and open fields which create endless opportunities for dynamic composition. The gentle shimmer of water, framed by trees and complemented by front-range mountain views, adds a touch of magic that transforms a typical portrait into a timeless masterpiece.

Most of my outdoor sessions take place during the golden hoursβ€” when early evening light casts a warm glow across the lakes and gently illuminates faces. Golden hour is more than just a pretty backdrop. It softens shadows, warms skin tones, and brings out the natural beauty of your surroundingsβ€”whether you’re standing in a field of tall grass or nestled in the open foothills overlooking the Front Range. Every photo feels a little more romantic, a little more nostalgic, and a lot more magical.

What makes summer family sessions in Colorado extra special is the vibrancy. The landscape bursts with colorβ€”deep greens, soft purples, golden yellowsβ€”and that bold, beautiful light ties it all together. It’s the perfect season to capture connection and joy with the people you love most.

When you book a family portrait session, we’ll time it just right to soak up the very best light of the day. I’ll guide you every step of the wayβ€”from wardrobe styling to finding the perfect location that reflects your family’s vibe. Whether it’s playful laughter, tender snuggles, or that proud family-of-five moment, we’ll capture it all with warmth and authenticity.

Because these are the days you’ll want to rememberβ€”the long summer evenings, barefoot giggles, glowing light, and hearts full of love. And when the golden hour fades, the memories we create will last a lifetime.

Ready to book your golden hour session this summer?
Let’s create something beautiful togetherβ€”framed by the light of Colorado and the love of your family.
