The Infinite Monkey Theorem | Can you dig it? 5 Reasons to Try Canned Wine

October 16, 2018 March 15, 2026 From the Hip Photo

Our friends and official office wine supplier, The Infinite Monkey Theorem Urban Winery, have been busy making magic happen. They've added to their already impressive line up of canned wine that they've been hustling since 2010. Even if you're familiar with Denver's longtime urban winery, chances are they have some new canned wine you haven't tried yet. Still new to the canned wine craze? Here are 5 reasons why you should join the wine revolution and crack open your first wine in a can! 1. Reduce. Reuse. Recycle Aluminum is the most recycled packaging in the world so if you're trying to minimize your waste we think it's time to jump in on the wine in a can craze. Ben Parsons, CEO and Winemaker says that aluminum is "infinitely recyclable" (ha, get it?). So you can feel proud of your beverage choices, just make sure you pay attention which bin you dispose your wine in! 2. Beware of Glass in the Outdoors Handling glass anywhere in the outdoors is risky business. Why should we let canned beer have all the fun when your in the backcountry? Infinite Monkey's canned wine lets you combined your wino side with your adventurer side.

Lisa & Jen | An Evergreen Lake Engagement

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

It's common knowledge that Colorado is home to some of the most beautiful scenic areas and parks in the country. But what could be more breathtaking when you add two bright and beautiful faces into the mix, and at Evergreen Lake at that? Congratulations to Lisa and Jen on your engagement! Check out some of our other nature-infused and Evergreen shoots here. Evergreen Lake The town of Evergreen is home to a beautiful lake and lake house which both provide an absolutely fantastic environment for a photoshoot. Weather in Colorado can be somewhat unpredictable at times, but on this day, the sun shined as bright as this couple's future! Despite the sunshine, the weather was still cold enough for us to capture some beloved moments on the lake's frozen surface and banks. The perfect embodiment of "Colorado weather," we think! A Romantic Getaway The Evergreen lake house is ever-so romantic. It just might be the perfect place to escape to with a loved one! In fact, our young couple Lisa and Jen were incredibly passionate at our session -- with laughs, smiles, and embraces. It's always a pleasure for us to build strong and lasting relationships between two very affectionate people. Frequently Asked

A Perfect May Day | Rebecca & Zane Family Photoshoot in RiNo

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

This past May, we had the pleasure to head back to one of our favorite places in Denver that certainly needs no introduction: RiNo! RiNo is a fantastic place to shoot because of its vibrant colors and personality. Plus, with the weather starting to warm up, what could be better? We had loads of fun working with Rebecca and Zane for their family photoshoot in RiNo! RiNo - River North Art District We've visited RiNo a numerous amount of times over the years, and each time we go, we always find a reason to go back! Lonely Planet named the River North Art District as one of the 10 coolest neighborhoods to visit in the United States, namely for its punk rock aesthetic and gorgeous street murals. Some of our favorite spots have been the Denver Zine Library, as well as Ratio Beerworks. If you haven't had the chance to go yet, we highly recommend you check out some upcoming events! Rebecca & Zane What a perfect trio! This family's energetic personality was as bright as the sun on this beautiful spring day, with many laughs, embraces, and smiles. The various street murals that we stumbled upon provided some excellent backgrounds

No Kid Hungry | A Culinary Event at The Regional

October 10, 2018 March 15, 2026 From the Hip Photo

Back in February, we had the pleasure of visiting The Regional. The Regional is a LoHi restaurant that is famous for serving fantastic food sourced from local farms and ranches in Colorado. They also serve seafood sourced from various places in Massachusetts. This past spring they hosted a culinary event dedicated to the No Kid Hungry charity. Come check it out! The Regional Chef and owner Kevin Grossi opened The Regional back in the summer of 2016. He sought to recreate many classic American dishes from all over the country using locally sourced food. He focuses particularly on comfort food. As he describes in an article with Eater Denver, "We're not doing crazy things to our products," Grossi said, "we're bringing the down-home feeling down to Denver." However, after spending two years at their LoHi location in the Avanti F&B, The Regional will be moving to Fort Collins in the early fall. Grossi plans on deepening his regional dishes in the new location: “The Regional has always been about adding a local element to whatever food you consider ‘hometown’ cooking. That will never change. If anything, we’re just moving closer to where so much of it is already growing in our state.” Check out

Katie & Scott | Surprise Autumn Engagement at Grand Lake

October 8, 2018 March 15, 2026 From the Hip Photo

We absolutely love capturing special moments– whether it be weddings, family, or high school senior photos. However, today we bring you something particularly special– a precious surprise proposal from our friend Scott to his now fiancé Katie! The proposal took place at Grand Lake and the wonderful autumn aesthetic provided an incredible backdrop for this special moment! We hope you enjoy this surprise autumn engagement at Grand Lake as much as we did! Grand Lake Grand Lake, which is located about thirty miles north-west of Boulder, is known as the “Western Gateway” to the Rocky Mountain National Park — and for a very good reason! It’s absolutely gorgeous, especially around this time of year when the leaves begin to change color. The lake offers all sorts of activities to enjoy all year round. From backcountry skiing and snowmobiling in the winter, to hiking and kayaking in the summer, Grand Lake has a lot to offer! It features over sixty different shops, restaurants, and galleries to explore. Naturally, this makes for a perfect location for a surprise proposal! Friends of the Fox Fam Scott is a friend to us at From the Hip Photo; he is the founder of a highly rated lighting and

Colorful Personality of RiNo | Hailey & Kevin Family Shoot

October 5, 2018 March 15, 2026 From the Hip Photo

Have we mentioned how much we love RiNo? It's ecstatic; the colorful personality of RiNo adds so much character to our city -- and, of course, to our sessions! But honestly, we didn't need much help this time around since Hailey and Kevin's family brought plenty of personality to our session! Murals Something that RiNo is quite famous for is its abundance of painted murals. Being the primary 'arts district' of Denver means that this neighborhood is home to a lot of raw yet articulate energy. We were able to find a range of different murals for this shoot, which provided some excellent background. Click here to check out another vibrant family session we had in RiNo! RiNo also hosts some pretty cool events throughout the year, check out their event calendar here! One event that is currently underway is DIAMOND HUNT, a fun way to help visitors rediscover Brighton Boulevard. It's coordinated by the Parisian artist La Diamantaire. Merci bien! Bright Smiles Although RiNo is pretty rad on its own, wouldn't be the same without some spirited people! Hailey and Kevin's daughter's really stole the show, since no one had brighter smiles than them (although Mom and Dad do

Anahita & Brandon | The Quintessential Denver Engagement

October 3, 2018 March 15, 2026 From the Hip Photo

Congratulations, Anahita and Brandon! Not only are you engaged, but you successfully modeled in downtown Denver like pros. This charming couple asked us to photograph their quintessential Denver engagement photos, and of course we had to say “yes”!!! Love in the City We’ll take any opportunity to boast about and showcase our wonderful city and its attractions. If you’re looking for something modern and urban, but still wonderfully beautiful, Union Station and Millennium Bridge are two of Denver’s most popular sites. We recommend these spots for any photography occasion! Like Anahita and Brandon, many others chose to have their photos taken at these popular spots. Check out Hillary and Justin’s Union Station engagement photos here and Kiki and Ret’s downtown engagement photos here! From January to July! Anahita and Brandon not only looked urbanely chic, but they looked stunning against the bridge’s geometric structure and Union Station’s magical look. Anahita had a wide, bright smile the entire time. Brandon looked happy and hungry for as many hugs as he could get. A few snowflakes even showed up to give a little more magic to the occasion! We could have been in The Polar Express we were so smitten with the

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.
