A Family with Flare | Lookout Mountain Photo Session

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

If there’s anything cuter than a baby with perfectly pinchable cheeks, it’s one with a fedora and a matching t-shirt with dad! We spent the day with Emily and Nick at their Lookout Mountain family photo session, and boy was this day something we won’t forget!

Dad’s fun-loving attitude and Mom’s sweet nose-boops and tummy tickles made this family so enjoyable to work with, and we couldn’t be happier with how these photos turned out!

Maureen & Andres | A Royal Engagement Session at Clear Creek

July 7, 2018 March 15, 2026 From the Hip Photo

Elegance in every twirl and tenderness in every kiss, Maureen and Andres’ engagement session at Clear Creek Trail was magic fit for a king and queen. These two looked stunning at this park in Golden, Colorado, and we couldn’t have asked for a better day with them. These lovebirds gleamed with joy at the prospect of their coming marriage, and we were happy to capture the moment! Clear Creek Class The Clear Creek trail is a favorite of ours, and one we return to time and time again. This October photo shoot gave us trees of bright yellow and orange. The creek’s water in the afternoon sun gave this couple regal halos and sparkling backdrops that we couldn’t pass up! And while the trail is full of walking trails and very close to the quaint town of Golden, the park is perfect for a photo shoot for any occasion, too. Check out Rachel and Justin’s maternity session at Clear Creek! Two Royal Sweethearts Maureen's long dress and elegant heels made her the most dazzling dancer in all the land. With Andres’ dapper suit and spunky red socks, this pair looked almost more perfect than the stunning Colorado backdrops we captured.

Elated and Related | Family Photos at Wash Park

July 7, 2018 March 15, 2026 From the Hip Photo

No photographer wants his or her subjects to look too staged, so casual and natural is always the goal for portraits. Members of the Stalling family were more than casual and natural – they were one of the most entertaining and lovable bunches we’ve ever had! On a glorious day, we captured their family photos at Wash Park, and we had so much fun! Family Fun! Siblings and cousins, parents and grandparents all huddled closely and giggled with every hug and nudge. While we of course captured some traditional photos of each family with poised smiles, we are never ones to pass up a “silly picture” – or multiple! The sisters nudged and embraced each other playfully, and their cousin even joined the goofiness! Mom and Dad were not afraid to join the fun either, and sweet smiles quickly evolved into outright laughter. Even Grandma and Grandpa proudly cuddled their family. Based on Grandma and Grandpa's genuine smiles, it is clear where the Stalling family got its zest for life!   A Picnic in the Park Washington Park, as it turned out, was the perfect November spot for this photoshoot! Not only does this park offer everything from playgrounds to

A Dream Denver Wedding | Traci & Andrew

July 5, 2018 March 15, 2026 From the Hip Photo1 comment

Someone put this couple in a Denver magazine! We love photographing breathtaking Colorado outdoors for any occasion. However, every once in a while, it’s nice to have a little taste of the city! We celebrated Traci and Andrew at their downtown Denver wedding at the Brown Palace Hotel, and wow was it incredible! A Denver Dream Laced in gold and with hints of timeless elegance, this wedding was one for the books. Traci and Andrew welcomed family, friends and even their beloved dog to one of Denver’s oldest, most popular event venues. The Brown Palace Hotel proved the perfect spot for everything from bridal party shots to the ceremony. Located in the heart of the city, nearly everything guests might want is within walking distance: restaurants, museums, bars, music, shopping and more! Check out our blog here for other popular downtown Denver locations! Black & Gold Photographing Traci and Andrew with their wedding party was a blast! Friends and family were so bubbly that nearly every shot was a candid one – and that’s not a bad thing! Andrew and the groomsmen looked sharp in their black tuxedos and bowties. The bridesmaids glittered in gold while Traci looked wonderfully chic

Lost Gulch Overlook Maternity Session | Katy & Dan

June 30, 2018 March 15, 2026 From the Hip Photo

“Nothing can dim the light that comes from within,” Maya Angelo once said. Wow was she right—especially when it comes to Katy and Dan’s exciting news! Their party of two is becoming a party of three! We went back to Lost Gulch Overlook for this couple’s maternity session, and it was something extraordinary. Majestic Magic What’s the big deal about Lost Gulch Overlook anyway? For one thing, this setting is a familiar one for our From the Hip Photo fam (see our sunrise shoot at this location here)! Moreover, it never fails to take our breath away thanks to stunning views (and maybe a little altitude)? Located on Flagstaff Mountain near Boulder, Colorado, this location is accessible, popular and provides unbeatable landscapes and vistas. While the essence of this session was to capture Katy and Dan as happy, budding parents, this shoot was like something out of a movie or a music video. I mean seriously — Katy looked freaking majestic in her floor-length dress and tastefully braided hair. Dan’s tall build and wide smile made him the gentle giant who clearly loves and adores his wife and his upcoming little one! As photographers, we are so lucky to help couples

A Galactic Engagement | Jordan & Daniel

June 27, 2018 March 15, 2026 From the Hip Photo

We were on cloud nine with Jordan and Daniel’s magical engagement photos at Alderfer/Three Sisters Park! We already love this location (as you can see from our previous post here), but this couple’s electric disposition made this session enchanting and totally out-of-this-world. The two are not only clear advocates of color and brilliance, but their affection for each other was quite possibly the most eye-catching of all. An Outdoor Outing Located in Evergreen, Colorado, this park hosted the most incredible pictures for Jordan and Daniel. With acres numbering nearly 770, this park has every vibe to offer. First, we explored the park’s trails and rocky plateaus so Jordan’s bright blue dress and Daniel’s dark-toned outfit would stand out. The park’s earthy greys and greens painted the perfect Colorado picture for this couple’s images! After the trails, we visited the park’s more rustic and western flares such as a wooden barn. Here, the couple melded like yin and yang in their black and white tones against beautiful wood. The wood even made the most ideal ring holder for Jordan's rock. While maintaining the Colorado feel, this country barn provided another rural perspective. Looking both happy and completely in love, the two

Cherry Creek Reservoir | The Most Versatile Location

June 23, 2018 March 15, 2026 From the Hip Photo

Do you want the best of all worlds in your Colorado photo shoot? We may be biased since we are frequent visitors of Cherry Creek Reservoir, but this place really does have it all: waterfronts, country western wooden fences, fields of wildflowers, and dense forests. We Go Way Back This isn’t the first opportunity we’ve taken to boast about one of our favorite locations. See our recent post about the reservoir and all it has to offer here! For this particular blog post, we aim to brag some more about this stunning location: that proves, no matter what season, no matter what occasion, Cherry Creek Reservoir’s 880 acres has the perfect spot for you and your photos! Not only do the seasons all look good on this peaceful plot of dry land and wet waters, but every color-coordinated, personalized outfit does too! For example, Grace's senior photo shoot with three outfit changes was not only okay with us — it was encouraged! Just like Grace, you can dress in sundresses, summer shorts, and even fall flannels. Grace's springy dress melded well with the green backdrop. And even though she didn't stay in the green dress the whole day, her darker

A Happy Home | Newborn Photos

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

What do teeny-tiny feet, sleepy eyes, and insanely soft skin all have in common? They are those of a cute, newborn baby! The newest addition to this family was just welcomed into the world and Ying and Erik invited us to take their newborn photos. If there’s anything we love more than photography, it’s an adorable, growing family – baby, dog and all! A Happy Home Ying and Erik welcomed us into their beautiful home to meet not just their little guy, but their two other four-legged friends. If you’re asking us, (and you should be!) in-home newborn sessions are comfortable, candid and totally worthwhile. We want to meet you where you and your family are most comfortable. Where better to do that than your very own bedroom, backyard or living room? Trust us – know what we’re talking about! For more newborn photo shoots and session tips, check out our blog!   Cuteness Overload Alongside two wiggly, wagging dogs, Mom and Dad proudly welcomed their newest family member with complete joy. How much more easy can it get when the new roomie is full of teeny toes, adorable yawns and sleepy little eyelids? Moving from spot to spot did not seem

Laura & Shon | A RiNo Engagement

June 18, 2018 March 15, 2026 From the Hip Photo

This RiNo engagement shoot was absolutely perfect for our fun and quirky couple, Laura and Shon! Walking the streets of the RiNo Art District will easily brighten anyone's day thanks to the colorful and lively art that fills the neighborhood. RiNo Art District Located in Five Points, just north of Downtown Denver, the RiNo Art District is home to art galleries, studio spaces, and artists of all types. The beautiful murals throughout this district aren't the only things that make this a must-go place to visit. The RiNo Art District has a variety of hip restaurants and bars which make it the best place to explore and try new things. One of our favorite places to visit is Ratio Beerworks which perfectly combines live music and beer for an ideal night out. If you are wandering around RiNo during the day, make sure you go and check out the Denver Zine Library. There you can find over 15,000 zines that you can flip through which will definitely keep you busy! Laura & Shon This loving duo couldn't keep their eyes off of one another during our RiNo engagement shoot. From mimicking murals to sneaking in kisses, both Laura & Shon's
