Colorado Springs Family Photographer
Honest, Heartfelt Family Photography for Every Season of Life
Families are never still — and that’s what makes photographing them so meaningful. Whether your kids are barefoot toddlers or moody teens, whether you’re just starting out or years into the chaos, this season is worth remembering.
I’m Shannon, a Colorado Springs family photographer capturing the sweet, the silly, and the in-between. No stiff posing, no forced smiles—just genuine connection, natural movement, and photographs that reflect who your people really are.
What Family Photography Looks Like with Century Tree Co
Your session is built around your family, not the other way around. We’ll plan together — location, timing, outfits — and I’ll guide you through it all with a calm, relaxed approach.
Expect lots of movement, laughter, snuggles, and gentle prompts that help everyone feel at ease. You’ll never hear me ask your kids to “smile for the camera.” Instead, we’ll chase light, play games, and catch the little moments that matter most.
Family Sessions in Colorado Springs and Beyond
From wide-open mountain backdrops to cozy in-home storytelling sessions, I offer family photography all across Colorado Springs and the Front Range. Some of my favorite locations include:
Garden of the Gods – iconic views and golden light
Woodland Park – a gorgeous overlook with stunning views of Pikes Peak
Your home – perfect for capturing your family in your real, everyday magic
We’ll find the setting that fits your family best—outdoorsy, cozy, adventurous, or simple.
