Taylor + Mitchell + Miller + Lincoln | Garden of the Gods Family Session | Colorado Springs Christmas Mini Sessions

There’s something magical about photographing families at Garden of the Gods — the warm light, red rock backdrops, and that wide-open Colorado sky. For this recent session with Taylor, Mitchell, Miller, and Lincoln, we kept things simple, lively, and fun — exactly how family photos should feel.

From the very first moment, the energy was lighthearted and full of laughter. The boys ran around exploring the trails, the parents soaked in the views, and I just captured those honest, unposed moments that make family photography so special.

What Makes My Colorado Springs Christmas Mini Sessions Different

As we head into the holiday season, I’m offering Christmas Mini Sessions at Garden of the Gods — and just like this session, my approach is all about authenticity, movement, and joy.

I’m not a “studio backdrop and props” kind of photographer. You won’t find fake snow or staged decorations here. Instead, my Christmas Minis are outdoors, natural, and full of real connection — the opposite of stiff poses or forced smiles.

Whether it’s a cozy family hug, a quick piggyback ride, or the kids chasing each other through the trails, these are the moments that become timeless keepsakes.

The Experience with Taylor & Mitchell’s Family

This session reminded me why I love photographing families at Garden of the Gods. The golden evening light, the boys’ laughter echoing through the rocks, and those in-between moments — like Miller tugging his dad’s hand or Lincoln’s shy smile when Mom whispered something funny — that’s the kind of magic you just can’t stage.

We explored a few of my favorite hidden spots overlooking the formations, and by the end, everyone felt comfortable, happy, and connected. That’s exactly the feeling I aim to bring to my holiday sessions — relaxed, real, and true to your family’s energy.

Client Love from Taylor & Family

There’s nothing better than hearing how much families enjoy their experience. My goal with every session — whether it’s a full family shoot or one of my Colorado Springs Christmas Mini Sessions — is to create a relaxed, joyful atmosphere where everyone feels comfortable and connected.
