Nicole & Carm | Family Photos at Red Rocks

October 1, 2018 March 15, 2026 From the Hip Photo

Fall is just around the corner, so to kick off the season of oranges and yellows and flannel outfits, we want to share Nicole and Carm’s family photos at Red Rocks! What a joy it was to photograph this family of four in their most stylish outfits and fun personalities! A beloved and increasingly famous venue, Red Rocks is known for its concerts and impressive surround sound effects. However, it’s also known for its stunning rock faces and vistas that showcase both the Colorado landscape and the city of Denver. This place is close to our hearts because we’ve been here many times to snap occasions of every kind. No matter the circumstance or season, Red Rocks surely will not disappoint! Check out our many other family photo sessions here! A Fabulous Four With brunette hair and a burst of red, with golden fall leaves and dapper flannels that match, this family was a total joy to photograph! Nicole and Carm proudly held their two boys Griffin and Sawyer, who clearly already have a strong budding relationship. The boys giggled and danced, jumped and skipped together with wide eyes and big smiles. As you can imagine, we couldn’t get enough of

Holiday Fun | Family Photos at Boulder Tree Farm

September 28, 2018 March 15, 2026 From the Hip Photo

Nothing says joy like fresh air, toasted marshmallows, and the holiday season! With cozy clothes and some ready smiles, we went with Keith, Hawzien, and their two adorable sons for some family photos at Boulder Tree Farm! Naturally, we had that giddy feeling that comes with holiday cheer while we played hide and seek under the trees and afternoon sun. The Tree Farm Creekside Tree Nursery, or Boulder Tree Farm, provides dozens of trees and shrubs for home, business or custom landscaping projects. Of course, when we visited with Keith and Hawzien in early December, this place had its Christmas tree selection on full display! Trees of all shapes, sizes, and kinds made a spectacular pine maze and the most wonderfully scented air! We even experienced some déjà vu from Dana and Michelle’s tree farm proposal at this very location! Family Festivities As always, we made it our mission to capture the most beautiful moments with this sweet family of four. Each of them was absolutely rocking the patterned shirts and cozy button jackets. Now, you might think patterns on the whole family could look a little chaotic. However, this family matched impeccably with tones of blue, grey, and browns.

Life in Color | A Vibrant RiNo Family Session

September 26, 2018 March 15, 2026 From the Hip Photo1 comment

This family is truly living a life of color! Tonia, Sean and their four children invited us to photograph their vibrant RiNo family photos, so of course, we said yes! Denver’s RiNo Arts District proved the perfect spot for this family because it matched their bright personalities and expressive dispositions. Everything is a Canvas RiNo or River North, Arts District in north Denver is a neighborhood full of wall designs, artistic experimentation, and colorful flares. In addition to all the public art, the streets of this place have a blend of urban charm and unique industrial revival at work. We love photographing families, couples, and individuals here because the neighborhood’s personality often works well with the people themselves. Each wall tells a story and walking along alleyways and down corridors are like a fun game of hide-and-seek for the perfect photo backdrop! To see what we mean when we talk about personality and paint, check out our other RiNo photography here! Oh Happy Day! Tonia and Sean shared their beautiful four children with us, and wow did we have a good time with this crew! Dressed in blacks, whites, and jeans, this family of six had all the giggles and

A Sunny Engagement | Danielle & Eli Engagement

September 24, 2018 March 15, 2026 From the Hip Photo

Engagement season is almost upon us, and what better way to celebrate than champagne on this cold January day at Clear Creek? It’s always a pleasure for us to contribute to building long-lasting relationships — so here’s to you, Danielle & Eli! Clear Creek Clear Creek is a small brook that runs through Golden, CO that offers scenic richness and beauty to the surrounding areas. During the summer, people can come to the creek to fish, kayak, and even inner-tube in the creek’s waters. The trail that runs along the creek also offers a great path for runners and bikers alike. Get some more information on Clear Creek here! During the winter months, Clear Creek county (which is a bit farther west from Denver) offers some great holiday events that can help you get into high winter spirits. The winter months in Colorado bring forth a great combination of sunlight and snow. The mountains near Golden provide some great background for our sessions. Check out some of our other shoots that took place in Golden here! Champagne and Cuddles Honestly, what could be better? Well, a dog could never hurt! This couple’s +1 was the cutest — we love having pets in

A Cutely Themed Newborn Photoset | Katie & Ryan’s Newborn Session

September 21, 2018 March 15, 2026 From the Hip Photo

A cute new face has blessed Colorado, and we were so grateful to capture the newborn-cuteness of baby Kal in this cutely themed newborn photoset! Parents, Katie and Ryan, graciously invited us into their home to capture some blissful and candid moments, and we loved every bit of it! If you want to see some more adorable photos, click here! A Family in Blue Newborn photo shoots are always heartwarming and special, and our session with Katie, Ryan, and Kal was no different! We could tell that Katie and Ryan were loving parents from the start because of the way Kal laid so calmly in their arms. However, you can also see this in their clothes! It is said that the color blue is strongly associated with tranquility and calmness, and what a fit for Kal’s personality! It’s a bird! No, it’s a plane! No, wait — it’s Superman! Kal is absolutely adorable in his Superman outfit, and it looks like Ryan will have to start studying his crash course! Costumes are always a great addition to a newborn photo session. Not only do they enhance the photo session by providing a theme, but they also make for very cute

February Snow | Family Photos at Kendrick Lake Park

September 19, 2018 March 15, 2026 From the Hip Photo

Freshly fallen February snow is entirely underrated! There is truth to the cliché of “winter wonderland,” and today we will prove it to you. These three, beautiful women invited us to capture their family photos at Kendrick Lake Park in Lakewood, Colorado. Based on these glowing family photos and their abundant smiles, we are convinced a winter flurry has just as much magic as a sky of stars! Snow… in the Park! Kendrick Lake Park, like many Colorado parks, is stocked full of biking and walking paths, beautiful vegetation, a peaceful lake, and playgrounds for all! While many might not think to go to the park after the warm spring and summer months, parks like this prove the most stunning locations for fall and winter family photography. The sky stayed blue and the snow reflected the day’s light like a dream! Three Musketeers Walking paths and snowy bridges proved ideal photography settings while powdered trees and snow-covered fields made stunning backdrops. Furthermore, these three ladies are just about as charming as Christmas morning! Their color coordination of jeans, blacks, and whites made a beautiful collage of wintery hues. They are beautiful, loving, and giggled throughout the whole day. They even

Nora & Dom | A Charming Wedding at Lionsgate

September 17, 2018 March 15, 2026 From the Hip Photo

Once upon a time, on a brisk November day, Nora and Dom said their “I Do’s” under sparkling chandeliers and among friends and family. We went back to one of our favorite wedding venues, the Lionsgate Event Center to photograph this charming wedding. Lionsgate Highlights Lionsgate Event Center, located in Lafayette, Colorado, offers a clean and brilliant space for any occasion in any style! Grand staircases make way for the bride’s princess train, and white chairs match white-slatted windows and swooping ceilings. Plus, every princess needs her magical chandeliers! Lionsgate has those too, and Dora looked radiant under the glittering lights and crystal. The outdoor space is just as fantastic as the inside – trust us! The place has a style that combines rustic architecture with splendid castles fit for royalty. Guests can enjoy both glam and comfort in this space with its winding stone pathways and bending trees. Check out the other Lionsgate events we have photographed here! Putting the “Charm” in Prince Charming But enough about the venue – Nora and Dom looked like Princess and her Prince Charming all night long! Nora wore a princess ball gown decorated in delicate lace and crystals. Her bouquets had a moody,

Nathalia & Nathan | Saint Malo’s Chapel Wedding

September 14, 2018 March 15, 2026 From the Hip Photo

Classic with a twist? That’s exactly how we would describe Nathalia and Nathan’s Saint Malo’s Chapel wedding. This day was bright and brilliant among every stone, mountain, and corner. Congratulations to the newlyweds! The Classic In addition to having dangerously similar names, this couple’s harmony with one another was nothing ordinary. Somehow they each embellished themselves in personal touches like bowties and red lipstick, yet they fit together as well as the stained glass pieces of the chapel. Saint Malo’s Chapel on the Rock in Allenspark, Colorado, is considered a state landmark not just because of its longstanding history with the Catholic church. This chapel rests at the base of the beautiful Rocky Mountains like a sleeping giant. The chapel’s stone exterior dating back to 1939 provided earthy, cool backdrops for the happy couple. And if you think that’s spectacular, wait until you see the breathtaking stained glass art inside! Check out some of our other favorite venues here! The Twist We thought Nathalia looked so elegant in a fitted wedding dress and simple pearls. Her shimmery auburn hair and red-tinted lipstick made her classically beautiful on the inside and out! Nathan wore a timeless tux with a fun bowtie because ~why

Goofy Games | A Fall Family Photo Session

September 12, 2018 March 15, 2026 From the Hip Photo

A piggyback ride and some monkey-ing around never hurt anybody! In fact, it’s goofy moments like those that bring a family together and make life sweet. Bethany and Joe’s family photo session at Meyer Ranch Park in Morrison, Colorado was anything but boring and serious. This family of four is just about as cute as it gets! The Location Meyer Ranch Park, as these photos prove, is not only a breathtaking outdoor location among changing fall leaves. This 624-acre park has 4.1 trail miles for walkers, hikers, bikers, and horse riders. Filled with aspen groves and pine forests, this place is sure to fill your lungs with crisp fall air and shadowy soft light. Goofy Games Given these fun outdoor features this park has to offer, it’s no surprise we were excited to join Bethany and Joe and their two children in the park for some picture-worthy shenanigans. If there’s one thing parents love most, it’s the sound of their children’s laughter. Bethany and Joe’s daughter and son were giggle monsters the entire time. Mom’s tickle fights and Dad’s upside down games are sure to make anyone laugh uncontrollably! While we swooned over this family’s silly fun, we couldn’t help
