This Erie Colorado family fun photo session was full of surprises! A 20-minute mini-session captured the delightful dynamics of a young family, from playful giggles to spontaneous moments of love and connection. Despite a scraped face and a runny nose—nothing a little Photoshop couldn’t fix—the true focus was on preserving the joy that radiated from the family. It’s always a joy to see how toddlers bring a unique energy to the session, creating memories that are full of life.

Erie, Colorado, was the perfect backdrop for this session. With its warm fall light and seasonal charm, it provided the ideal setting to highlight the family’s love and natural interactions. I visit this location quarterly for sessions because of its picturesque landscapes and the way it complements the relaxed atmosphere of family photos. The combination of beautiful surroundings and candid moments makes it an ideal place to capture the essence of a family in its truest form.

Mini-sessions like this are the perfect solution for families who want to create lasting memories without the pressure of long, formal photo shoots. In just 20 minutes, we were able to capture a collection of beautiful, keepsake-worthy images that showcase the family’s connection in a fun, stress-free way. Whether it’s the changing seasons or the playful energy of toddlers, these quick sessions are a great way to freeze time and celebrate the love that makes every family unique.
