The perfect Holiday Gift
Let’s be real—Colorado’s mountains are the ultimate backdrop for holiday family photos. Whether you’ve lived here forever or you’re visiting for the first time, there’s something magical about capturing your family in the middle of all that stunning mountain scenery. At From the Hip Photo, we’re all about making that experience fun, easy, and totally you for your holiday family photos in the Colorado mountains
It’s About More Than Photos—It’s About Connection
One of the coolest parts of what we do is getting to know the families we photograph. We’ve worked with this beautiful family, along with others, for years—starting with their engagement photos, then weddings, and now family sessions as their kids grow. Their most recent holiday family photos in the Colorado mountains are one for the books! Watching families evolve and being invited back year after year is something we don’t take for granted. We’ve been photographing them since before they had kids, and seeing how much their boys have grown is such a special experience. It’s these connections that make what we do so meaningful.
Adventure is Part of the Experience
We’ve been photographing families in the Denver area and throughout Colorado for over 15 years, but we still get excited about exploring new places. Sure, we have our favorite mountain spots (and a few hidden gems), but if there’s a location you’ve been dreaming about, let’s check it out together. We’re always up for an adventure in the Colorado mountains, whether that means trekking to a mountain lake, chasing the golden aspens, or finding that perfect snow-covered field.
Let’s find the Perfect Mountain Spot
Colorado’s mountains, the perfect place for holiday family photos, are basically a giant outdoor studio! We know all the best spots—whether you want epic peaks, serene lakes, or quiet forest trails. Think places like Boulder, Rocky Mountain National Park, Evergreen, Breckenridge, and even a few hidden gems we keep up our sleeves. We’ll help you pick the perfect spot to fit your vibe and vision.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the best mountain towns near Denver for holiday photos?
Estes Park offers dramatic mountain vistas and holiday charm. Georgetown combines small-town character with mountain scenery. Bear Lake and other Rocky Mountain locations provide intimate forest backdrops. Evergreen offers accessible mountain beauty close to Denver. Each location has distinct character — consider what mood you want to capture.
What should you wear in the mountains during winter for photos?
Layer smartly with warm, stylish pieces. Rich jewel tones, deep reds, forest greens, and burgundy look stunning against snow and evergreens. Cozy sweaters, wool coats, and scarves photograph beautifully. Avoid all-white outfits that blend with snow — you want your family to stand out against the winter landscape.
Do kids and dogs do well in cold weather sessions?
Many families worry, but kids and dogs often thrive in the mountains! Fresh air energizes them. Just plan shorter sessions (60-90 minutes), schedule mid-day when it’s warmest, and take breaks indoors if needed. Bring hot cocoa for the kids — it’s great for natural poses and keeps spirits high.
When should you book holiday mountain photos?
We recommend booking early — September through November fills up quickly. Sessions work best in late November or December when there’s fresh snow or frost. December dates fill fastest, so early planners get the best options and weather conditions.
How should you prepare for a mountain holiday session?
Wear layers you can adjust between location moves. Bring hand warmers and blankets for comfort between shots. Choose appropriate footwear for snow or rocky terrain. Arrive well-rested so everyone’s mood is happy and relaxed. Plan the session for warmer parts of the day — mid-morning through early afternoon.
