Horsetooth Resevoir

There are about 3-4 different areas along the East side of the lake that we can use as a location for our photos. This area will give us sweeping views of the mountains and depending on water levels, of the lake, too!

Chapunga Statue Park

This location is right at the Centerra Mall in Loveland/Johnstown. It will give us beautiful Fall Colors and Evergreens as well as bridges and some water features. This is a favorite location in the Fall and Winter!

Poudre Nature Center

This location is in West Greeley and will provide us with fields, ponds, the Poudre River, flowers (garden and wild), and trees. Great location for Spring, Summer, and Fall!

Arapahoe Bend Natural Area

This location is right off of Harmony and I-25. It offers big cottonwoods, rabbit brush (golden yellow in the fall/winter), a lake, and big open fields!

Reservoir Ridge Natural Area

This location will offer wide and distant views of the mountains with big open fields. There are also some tree areas and a lake.

Eagles Nest Open Space

This location offers rolling hills and distant views of the mountains as well. It's about a 45 minute drive from my home in Severance; on the way to Red Feathers.

Lory State Park

This location is on the West of Horsetooth Reservoir. If it's been a particularly wet leading up to the date of your photoshoot, we might not be able to shoot here because they close the trails if they're muddy.

Bingham Hill Park

This is a super small location but offers stunning views of the mountains. In the summer it does have wild flowers in blooms and a couple of trees. It's in Northern Fort Collins/LaPorte

Maxwell Natural Area

This is at the base of Horsetooth Reservoir and will offer a "mountain prairie" vibe. It also offers quick access to Pineridge Natural Area and Horestooth.

Eastman Park

A favorite location in Windsor. It has big cottonwoods, small "willowy" trees, open fields, bridges, flower gardens, the Poudre River and a few evergreens. This location is my absolute favorite to shoot at, but it can be pretty busy!

Horsetooth Falls Trailhead

This will offer mountain views and fields! As well as some Evergreens, especially if you're willing to hike. This location will always require a bit of an earlier start because the sun "sets" early.

There is a parking lot fee for this location.

Carter Lake

This location is a dream. There are mountain views, rocky areas, we can get down close to the water, evergreens and deciduous trees as well.

There is an entry fee for this location.

Viestenz-Smith Mountain Park

This location is up HWY 34 into the canyon just passed The Dam Store. It will offer mountain views, cabin/wooded structures, ever greens, river access, bridges, etc.

The sun will set "sooner" here, so we will need to get an earlier start.

Signature Bluffs Natural Area

Located in Greeley. This location offers a "barn" for a country/wester vibe, trees, fields, wooden bridges, and flowers.

The Oval at CSU

This location is right in the middle of CSU. It offers huge cottonwood trees, old buildings, steps, benches.

It looks especially stunning in the Fall and Summer.

Josephine Jones Park

Located in Greeley - the park that you can see from HWY 34 with the big metal sunflowers. It has a pond, evergreens, and tall grasses. Good for year round photos!

Morning Fresh Dairy

This location is dependent upon approval from the Dairy Farm owners. But it has an old school house, a small wooden barn, a creek and big trees all around it. There is a travel fee of $25 for this location.

Bobolink Spur Resevoir Traihead

This location is right on the North West edge of Fort Collins (close to LaPorte) and offers grass, wooden fences and old(ish) barns with really tall Evergreens and a view of the foothills.

Redtail Open Space

This is right off of College on the South side of Fort Collins, so it is a little noisy. It's perfect for Spring, Summer, and Fall. In the warmer seasons, we'll want to watch for snakes. There's a bridge, tall grasses and if you're willing to walk a bit, small views of the foothills.

Your Home

At the end of the day, your home is where you are most comfortable and can make an excellent spot for taking natural/comfortable photos. We can easily capture you hanging out in your favorite spot on the porch, cooking dinner together, etc. This doesn't have to be a location reserved for newborn shoots.

Picnic Rock Natural Area

This location is up the Poudre Canyon and right at the edge of the burn scar from the Cameron Peak fire. The river will be right there, as well as canyon views, evergreens, and deciduous trees. There is no cell phone service here, so you'll want to start navigation prior to getting in the canyon.

Because we're in the canyon, the sun will set "sooner," so we'll need to get an earlier start than normal.

There is a $25 fee for traveling to this location.

City Park (Fort Collins)

This park provides us with open spaces as well as unique "cottage" and whimsical-like aesthetic. It has very massive ever greens, stone walls, ivy, and bridges. In the Spring is has flowering trees. It's quite beautiful and very close to CSU campus.
