Koehn - Family Session on Big Sandy Creek in Limon, Colorado

Photographing the Koehn family was such a joy! With two energetic boys leading the way, this session was full of laughter, movement, and the perfect dose of chaos that makes family photos so fun and authentic. Set along Big Sand Creek in Limon, Colorado, the beautiful fall colors gave us a stunning natural backdrop that added a warm, golden touch to every image.

As a Colorado professional photographer, sessions like these remind me why I love capturing families. The boys were bursting with energy, running, exploring, and bringing their personalities front and center. I loved how their parents fully embraced the moment, letting the boys be themselves and have fun. Some of my favorite shots came when I simply let the boys take the lead and captured their bond and adventurous spirit.

It was especially special for me to see how much the youngest has grown. I had the honor of photographing him as a newborn, and it’s always such a privilege to document these milestones. Watching him walk around, laugh, and play alongside his big brother brought back so many sweet memories. There’s truly nothing like the bond between brothers, and these two have it in spades.

Katie, you are absolutely gorgeous, and I love watching you shine as a mom to these two boys. The way you guide them with so much love and patience is inspiring and beautiful to witness.

Family sessions like this are a reminder that it’s not about perfect poses—it’s about capturing the real moments, the connection, and the joy that make your family unique.
