Sometimes when I’m editing a family photo session, there’s an image that stands out to me so much that I just have to edit it right away.

This is one of those. I photographed this sweet girl’s family at a spot overlooking Pikes Peak and Pulpit Rock in Colorado Springs. Anytime I take photos of families I like to take the kids aside and get some portraits of them alone. Stepping away from mom and dad is sometimes helpful to get these gorgeous images.
