Family photography has a special kind of magic — the laughter, the chaos, the quiet in-between moments that make up a life together. Recently, I had the joy of photographing Megan and Jeff’s family of five at Garden of the Gods, one of the most breathtaking spots in Colorado Springs. Their session was filled with love, laughter, and a few surprises, including a flyover from USAF planes and a curious deer who couldn’t resist joining in.
The Beauty of Family Sessions at Garden of the Gods
If you’re wondering where to book a family photo session in Colorado Springs, look no further than Garden of the Gods. With its striking red rock formations, wide-open trails, and panoramic views of Pikes Peak, it’s a photographer’s dream and a family’s playground.
For Megan and Jeff, this incredible landscape became the perfect setting to capture genuine moments — from playful sibling energy to tender glances between parents. Every image told a story of love, connection, and the simple joy of being together outdoors.

USAF Flyovers — A Moment of Wonder
Halfway through our session, we got a surprise treat: planes from the nearby United States Air Force Academy soared overhead in formation. The kids looked up in awe, their faces glowing with excitement. The moment added an unexpected sense of adventure and patriotism to the day, reminding us that even unplanned details can make a photo session unforgettable.
The Curious Deer Cameo
Just as we were wrapping up, nature had one more surprise in store — a deer wandered into our frame, curious but calm, as if it knew it was part of the story. That spontaneous encounter created one of my favorite series of photos from the day: the boys giggling as the deer lingered in the background, perfectly blending wildlife and family life into a single, timeless memory.
Capturing the Joy of Family
Every session is different, but one thing remains the same — the connection families share when they simply relax and enjoy the moment. From candid laughter to quiet embraces, Megan and Jeff’s family radiated warmth and joy in every frame.
That’s the heart of my work: helping families feel at ease, explore freely, and end up with photographs that feel authentic and full of life.
