I love this family featured on the journal today! Their mom, Kellie, is a wonderful photographer herself and our styles are pretty similar. Whenever I can’t fit a family into my schedule I always tell them to check with her. Unfortunately, she’s on a photography break right now but I’m hoping she’ll start accepting clients again in the future! We both like to create photos that are clean and classic with nice bright color. The last time we met, her youngest was still just a little baby. It was around 4 years ago and all of her boys have grown so much in that time. We had planned on using the Clear Creek area next to Clear Creek History Park in Golden but I was afraid that maybe the crowds would prevent us from getting as close to the river as we might like.
So before we met I decided to check out the back up location at the First Tunnel Walk which is just into the mountains a short distance. After somehow maneuvering my car across highway 6 to the pull off area (the one downside of this location being that it’s a little tricky to pull in with all of the highway traffic) and taking a short walk along the path I knew that I wanted to change the location to this spot instead of keeping it as a back up. It was so pretty and there were hardly any people as well. And we were still able to get down to Clear Creek and get some photos in the water despite much of the path being on a steep hill. As a bonus feature, the boys had fun climbing on the rocks making it a perfect adventurous locale for kids with lots of energy. This is one of my new favorite locations and I can’t wait to photograph here again!
My favorite!
