A Family Ranch Session in Flagler, Colorado | Witt Family
There’s something truly special about photographing families in a location that means so much to them. When Leslie reached out to me about doing a session on their family farm and ranch in Flagler, Colorado, I was thrilled! I love personalized session locations, and this one did not disappoint.
The Perfect Backdrop for Eastern Colorado Family Portraits
Leslie wasn’t quite sure which areas of the ranch would be best for photos, but once I arrived, the possibilities were endless! We had so many stunning backdrops to choose from—grain bins, golden wheat fields, a lush green corner of the farmyard, and even the cows in the feedlot. Every location brought a unique and meaningful element to their family portraits.
Capturing Authentic Moments with Young Kids
One of the things I emphasize as a Colorado family photographer is making sure kids feel comfortable in front of the camera. Leslie’s kids were a little shy at first, which is totally normal, but with a little patience and encouragement, they warmed up to me. I always allow kids to be themselves—whether that means playing, running, or just cuddling with mom and dad. This approach leads to the most genuine expressions and true family connections.
Summer Storms & Colorado Skies
Colorado weather is always an adventure, and this session was no exception. When we started, the skies were dark, and it looked like we might get rained out. But somehow, we managed to avoid the impending summer storm, and the moody skies actually made for some incredible portraits. The contrast of the storm clouds with the warm tones of the wheat field was breathtaking!
Preparing Families for Their Photography Session
As a professional family photographer in Colorado, I know how important it is for families to feel prepared and at ease before their session. That’s why I provide all my clients with a welcome guide filled with helpful tips, from outfit planning to what to expect on the day of the shoot. Sessions like this one remind me just how valuable it is to plan ahead while still embracing the unexpected moments that make each family unique.
