Holyoke Colorado Family Photos | Sara and Logan

Families, In-Home, Outdoor October 31, 2019

If I wasn’t already obsessed with in-home photos from my last session, then I DEFINITELY am now after this family photography session in Holyoke, Colorado!

Austin and I went to Sara & Logan’s home in Holyoke where we started taking pictures of the family inside their own home. I had never met their sweet baby before so I think she was on high alert and watching my every move! It was so sweet. Plus, Austin was there, and he is also a stranger to the little girl, and maybe she thought he was a weirdo.

With little ones, I have been really loving taking pictures inside their house because they’re already comfortable and familiar with the space! And it’s literally real life being in a living room and a kitchen. Yes, I do ask parents to read to their kids or play with them in particular ways but they do that any other day when I’m not there too!

We also went outside to take pictures around their awesome property—their shop/barn is an AMAZING backdrop and provided some nice shade from the high sun! And their DOG IS HILARIOUS! That girl ran around so much and was definitely living it up. It was intensely windy but I love a good hair in the wind shot ;). We also took lots of “looking at the camera photos” too because even in a lifestyle session you need those shots!

Living close to the mountains and being in a bunch of Colorado photographer groups, sometimes I feel the desire and pressure to photograph in the mountains and have these massive mountain and lake views in the background of my photos. But I’m finding that there is so much emotion—sometimes even more than if there’s a gigantic backdrop—to be captured in a local family session that’s not at 8,000 ft elevation (also it’s way easier to breathe, just saying). A family’s own space is super meaningful to them, and I feel like you get a sense of that comfort/hominess/intimacy/sentimentalism through photos in that setting. There’s a hashtag called #momentsovermountains on Instagram and that is so real. Also selfishly, the mountains are ridiculously!! crowded lately and I’m so happy to have open space to photograph in :). Give me all the sessions in uncrowded places! (Also to be clear, I’m not opposed to photographing in the mountains and wouldn’t pass it up! I just love lots of different settings.)

I hope you enjoy these photos of this incredible family!! I had the best time and can’t wait to see their little girl grow up.

    […] lovely nice thing about being in the country is that you can take pictures on dirt roads! And no cars will drive by! If you did that in Denver […]

WELCOME TO THE BLOG!

I’m so glad you’re here! I hope you’re filled with joy as you look at pictures of strangers.

Part 2 of 2: Maddi and I went to the lake and this Part 2 of 2: Maddi and I went to the lake and this is my photo dump before I delete Instagram again 😉

2021 is the year of trying to be more creative and evoking more mood. 🆒

*note that I’ll still take all the normal pictures too for your couples/family/wedding shots, but sometimes I’ll throw in experimental ones 🙌

So so sooooo so thankful for Maddi for many reasons, but today I’m grateful for friends that stand in the cold wind with me. 

The second to last photo is tswift lover-esque and the last photo is like hunger games Star Wars-esque 🤪 WE CAN DO IT ALL!
Happy new year!! Congrats Kendall and Spencer on y Happy new year!! Congrats Kendall and Spencer on your engagement!! 🎉 for the first photo session of the year we went for some red rock and mountain views! I can’t wait for your coffeehouse wedding later this year 🥰

I deleted Instagram and am trying to stay off social media (I check my messages on desktop though because I love the grumpy Bernie memes my friends send me), so here’s a whole bunch of my favorites since I’m going to delete the app again 😂

There are even more in my stories and on my blog (link in bio 👆)!!! I couldn’t help myself. With two locations there were too many to choose from!

My 2020 year in review blog is up (link in bio)! I’ve posted the majority of my 2020 blogs in the last 2 weeks 🙃 so the content may not seem too new, but I love recaps and reviewing what I did/learned. Also if you missed all those blogs you can just read this one 🤣

Spoiler: I did a LOT of photo education on nights and weekends this year. 

I have some 2021 photo goals (some vague ones) in my blog that I hope to achieve/pick away at next year 🤓. I try to keep most of my goals creative rather than financial because I’m trying to keep this fun for myself!
