Golden Glow & Family Love at Ute Valley Park

There’s something about fall in Colorado that just hits differently — the crisp air, the golden light, and the way everything feels a little more magical. This family session at Ute Valley Park was all of that and more.

Photographing close friends always adds an extra layer of meaning, and this evening was so special. Watching them with their two beautiful girls — the laughter, the snuggles, the way mom and dad looked at them with pure love — it was impossible not to feel the joy radiating from this family.

The park gave us the perfect autumn backdrop: tall grasses glowing in the light, warm colors in every direction, and plenty of space for the girls to explore and play. It was relaxed, playful, and full of the kind of real moments that make photos feel timeless.

This session was a beautiful reminder of how precious these in-between stages of life are — full of love, wonder, and connection. I’m so thankful I could capture it for them.
