Family Glamping Photos at Vail Collective Retreat Campground near Wolcott Colorado

August 22, 2018

Colorado Family Glamping Photos at Collective Vail Retreat

I am so excited to share these adorable Colorado family glamping photos on the journal today!  I had such a huge smile on my face the whole time I was working on the pictures from this family session. These young siblings reminded me of how much fun I used to have as a kid with my brothers and sisters! It was especially great playing together when we were on a road trip somewhere here in Colorado! So it was just a delight for me to get the opportunity to photograph this family while they were on their own road trip all the way from Missouri.

I believe this was their first camping experience too so I’m glad we were able to catch them enjoying the great outdoors where they were staying at the Collective Vail Retreat at 4 Eagle Ranch which is in Wolcott. The Vail Collective has these large white canvas tents on top of a hill with mountain views for miles and it looked like a pretty great first experience with camping (No hassle of rushing to set up your tent which always seems to be missing more stakes than you remembered last time as the sun is setting because you didn’t realize how long it would take you to get there…oh wait, maybe that’s just me? haha) In any case, this is an awesome luxury camping experience to try if you’re new to camping or if you just want to live it up a little!

Collective Vail take care of the grilling too so no need to worry about packing the cooler. I don’t know about the other campers out there but I feel like attempting to cook while camping is always such a huge production. And the best thing about this luxury Vail campground? They have real toilets for a true “glamping” experience! There was a lot of energy on this evening when we were photographing so I mixed in a little more of a photojournalistic and lifestyle feel for some of the photos in addition to my normal posed pictures to keep it fun for them. It was truly a beautiful setting for a beautiful family making it hard for me to narrow down the images to share here on the journal. Below are just some of my favorites!
