Amy & Jackson’s Family
One of my favorite things about our jobs (and I know I’ve said this before) is that the relationships we create with our couples go far beyond their wedding days. Amy and Jackson got married a few years ago in Colorado and I was lucky enough to document their sweet day. Each year since then, we catch up for their family photos, and it is such a treat to document them and their boys!
No matter what stage their family is in (we’ve done maternity pics, newborns, etc), these guys never take a bad photo! It certainly makes my job easy, but it also helps that their two little ones are SO sweet and curious. Watching them grow up in front of the camera is such a privilege, and I can’t wait to keep on shooting them throughout the years to come.
This session took place at Standley Lake in Arvada, which is one of my personal favorite places to shoot and just hang out for some time in nature. I first stumbled upon this location in 2016 when I was looking for a house for Terrence and I to rent when we moved there. It was how I discovered the suburb of Arvada, and the spot has never failed to impress since then!
The only change since then that I noticed when I went back this year was a big ugly condo complex that’s getting built right into the Mountain View… ugh. I suppose it was inevitable, but I just hope that this location is protected in the years to come because it is such a special retreat for Coloradans who might not have time to get all the way out into the mountains but still want a scenic break by the lake!
Enjoy these family photos from Standley Lake:

The Watson's Family Session at Mount Falcon Park | Morrison, Colorado | Family Photography | Apollo Fields Wedding Photographers
I don’t take on too many family sessions— not because I don’t like them— they just aren’t my specialty. I do make some exceptions; however, and this one couldn’t have warmed my heart more.
I knew Olivia Watson as Olivia Leonard (her maiden name) when we went to EWS boarding school together wayyyy back when. She recently moved to Colorado with her sweet family from Florida so I was so excited to reconnect with them and meet her husband, Kyle, and their little chunky monkey, River.
It was great catching up and we got to enjoy an awesome sunset up in the mountains together. I love showing new families around some of my favorite spots, although Mount Falcon isn’t exactly a well kept secret considering that there were probably half a dozen other shoots going on at the same time (tis the season, right??)
Everyone is trying to squeeze in their holiday pics before it gets too late and now that weddings are slowing down a bit (can I get an amen) so I’m currently accepting family shoots with complimentary rush jobs on holiday pics. Hit your girl up to get on the calendar!
Enjoy these sneaks of Olivia, Kyle, and River:

I had such a great time revisiting one of my favorite couples of 2016 to do their family photos this weekend in Blauvelt, NY! It has been over three years since they’ve been on the other side of my camera and it was so much reconnecting and catching up with this fun and dynamic family! I shot their wedding in Blauvelt, NY which is where Alex grew up. Rae is a dancer from Norway and they met on the basketball court, which is one of Alex’s passions as he used to be a pro basketball player. They own and run AD3 Fitness in NYC and are a total power couple.
They are also one of the sweetest — and obviously gorgeous — couples! They have two daughters, Denise and Jackie, who are both so outgoing and fun to be around. It is definitely a house full of strong women which I obviously love, and Alex is just so in love with his family that it is great to shoot! We met up at their house in Blauvelt and Jackie was just finishing up her nap. She was so sweet when Denise woke her up to do pics because she was obviously still half asleep, but the minute we got to Piermont in the park she immediately livened up!
The girls had a great time running around and playing with the snow, and it was quickly Jackie’s favorite thing to do. She would get quickly distracted (the woes of being 2!) so we eventually realized that the best way to get her attention, get her to hold still, and smile for a pic was to have big sis Denise pretend to fall! Something about that just made Jackie crack up and became our secret weapon. Luckily, Denise was a great spot and was totally game to keep pretend falling to get a reaction out of her little sister.
Denise is also full of beauty and attitude. I was telling Rae that I’ve never photographed a 13 year old kiddo who knows their angles better and can work a camera more. I remember her bringing the same energy at their wedding when she wasn’t even 10 yet, so it’s no surprise that she’s growing up to be such a confident and photogenic young lady.
I had a great time shooting this fun, athletic, and energetic family in NY this weekend and I can’t wait to do it again soon!
