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:

Mount Falcon Park Family Photographer

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:
