Winter is a wonderful season for photography! We recently walked around the area surrounding our studio in Aurora’s Stanley Marketplace. Enjoy these photos of our Colorado winter wonderland!


Photography sprinkled with wintery details
We love how the snow creates a theme with these photos but interacts in dynamic ways with the various backdrops, details, and subjects.


What is Stanley Marketplace?
Stanley originally began with as a project between neighbors who wanted to open a small beer hall. It later grew into something much larger: a community-focused marketplace featuring 50+ independently owned Colorado businesses under one roof. As the only photography company at Stanley, we are fortunate to work with many of these wonderful businesses!



What’s new and next at Stanley?
The space you see below is a greenhouse under construction! Gotham Greens will inhabit new greenhouse north of Stanley. They’ll grow basil and 12 varieties of lettuce, and plan to open in 2020!






Deep blues and frosty details
How gorgeous are these deep shades of wintery blue? The contrast between the water and the snow-frosted plants is so dreamy.




Come visit us at Stanley this winter!
There are so many reasons to stop by and say hi! Grab a real New York style bagel at Rosenberg’s, enjoy award-winning cuisine at Anette, or stroll around and explore the unique shops that fill this marketplace. Just be sure you stop in and say hey to the Fox Fam at From The Hip Photo!




A walk on the winter side
What details do you notice when you walk? So much of photography is about what you notice before you even begin to set up your shot. Asked for their winter photography tips, our photographers said:
“Bring your fingerless gloves! And be sure to pause often and take in your surroundings so you’re aware of details that would be perfect to capture.”



A place for reflection
We love how these photos portray a sense of calm, quiet– and use details like water to evoke a sense of reflection and serenity.



A snow-capped reminder
One of our favorite photos from this winter walk is a sweet reminder to everyone who comes out to spend time at Stanley Marketplace: “You are beautiful.”
From The Hip loves this community full of amazing small businesses and beautiful people!
