Family Photos in Colorado Springs: Fun at Palmer Park

A beautiful summer night, golden light glowing through the trees, and a family I love. Palmer Park was the perfect setting for these family photos in Colorado Springs. As a family photographer, I get to capture so many special moments, and this session was extra meaningful because it featured my own sister and her wonderful family!

A Fun-Filled Family Session

My niece and nephews are always fun to be around—sweet, funny, and full of energy! Their personalities came through in every shot, making for some really sweet moments. While I love all the images from this session, the photos of Mom and Dad with the kids are some of my favorites. You can really see the love between them.

Outfit Coordination Made Easy

For this session, my sister wore one of the beautiful dresses from my client closet, which worked perfectly with the natural tones of Palmer Park. We worked together to coordinate the rest of the outfits, making sure everything looked great together without feeling too matchy. Outfits make such a difference in how photos come together, and I love helping families find looks that feel natural and timeless.

Kind Words from My Sister

It always means a lot when families trust me to capture their memories—especially when it’s my own family! My sister shared this sweet review after our session:

“Anne is always so fantastic to work with. We have had many sessions with her over the years, and I am more and more impressed each time. She’s great at what she does, and makes sure even the most unwilling participants have a great time! Thanks for capturing such precious memories for us, Anne!”

Why Palmer Park is a Great Spot for Family Photos in Colorado Springs

Palmer Park is one of my favorite locations for family sessions. It has beautiful rock formations, soft golden light in the evenings, and plenty of space for kids to run around.

Photos are beautiful, but video brings it all to life. The movement, the laughter, the way they connect… it’s so special in it’s own way.

This is just a little teaser from their family film - can’t wait to share the full video later this week!
