Location Series: Hildebrand Ranch Park

One of the most important steps in creating an amazing photo session is choosing the right location. It needs to reflect who you are as well as not be too distracting to the overall look of your photos. In this blog series we’ll explore some of my favorite locations. I’ll share with you some of the location’s features and how it might best serve you in your photography experience.

Location Highlights

Hildebrand Ranch Park is nestled right up against the foothills of South West Littleton. It features an old, weathered white barn that gives a rustic country vibe. The foothill views are beautiful during golden hour. There’s a creek that runs through it and it has lots of tall grass, mature trees, and plenty of open space.

Peak Season

I honestly think this park is beautiful during all seasons, but it truly shines during the summer and fall months. The barn can be fun to shoot at during snowy weather, and the foothills are beautiful any time of the year. The park does tend to get busy with other photographers during the fall months, but it’s big enough that you don’t have to worry about other families appearing in your photographs.

Why I Love It

This is one of my favorite locations because of it’s rustic feel. It reminds me of country life on the outskirts of the city. I’m a huge fan of open space when shooting family photos so that the environment will allow for uninhibited freedom in movement and places to explore together. This park does not disappoint.

Did you know that we do outdoor school photos as well as indoor? We love doing this with our bi-annual preschools to mix things up a bit for varied images through the year. 

Our friends @thechildrensworldschool are so fun to work with outdoors. We’ve had all kind of weather during their outdoor spring picture day and we’ve made it work! Love their flexibility and love of the outdoors.

I love when the kids ask to help me package up the school print orders. It helps me out so much and we get to be together.

Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these PICTURE LADIES from the swift completion of their appointed PICTURE DAY!

(Sorry US Postal Service. We picture ladies had to borrow your motto today.)

Was an adventure driving up to Conifer for pics today. Our school has already called a snow day for tomorrow. How about you?
