Sorry (not sorry) for the huge amount of photos that I'm about to share from this gorgeous Mount Evans family session today! :-)
Lindsay was a childhood friend of mine, and I am so thankful that we have kept in touch for almost 30 years! I have had the pleasure of photographing her amazing family several times over the years, from maternity photos to newborn photos to family photos - we have done it all, but this time was probably my favorite! Lindsay's husband Ryan recently started a new job as the principal at the Mount Evans Outdoor Lab School for Jeffco, and they have quickly grown to love it up there. It took me about two seconds to realize why...it is absolutely BEAUTIFUL! The entire property is full of million-dollar views, history, and so much variety - I was in photographer heaven!
We spent about 2 hours together, and it flew by because we were having so much fun! Ryan drove us around the property on an ATV and it really was an adventure! As I mentioned above, the entire property is incredible! We explored ridges with sweeping mountain views, groves of aspen trees, a pond with an incredible dock, historic barns and buildings, and so much more. I kept my camera out until I had lost every bit of light, because I was so inspired by the beauty surrounding us.
I will be honest and say that I am a creature of habit and I tend to stick fairly close to home. I have a number of locations that I tend to use a lot, and for good reason - they are beautiful! From Kiowa to Elizabeth to Castle Rock to Parker to Littleton - I know these places like the back of my hand and I LOVE my little hidden gems in each location, but it was so much fun to step out of my comfort zone for an evening and photograph in an entirely new place! I am already itching to book more mountain sessions, so if you like what you see here hit me up! ;-)
Lindsay, Ryan, and Blake: thank you SO much for having me up to your home away from home! I enjoyed every second of our time together and I am obsessed with the photos that we created together! :-)
