If you are looking for a great location in the city for family photos, The Denver Botanic Gardens has so many great settings and is beautiful no matter the season. The Begun family did their pictures in October as the leaves were changing so they had the variety of the yellow and oranges, but also still had gorgeous blossoms and bright greens for backdrops. Choosing a location like this for your portraits is a terrific idea- especially compared to the traditional studio shoots – because the kids are having fun and your photographer is able to capture their authentic smiles without much direction. Stephanie, the family portrait photographer here at Elevate Photography, is so good at setting up the perfect scene to capture those candid memories.
