The Cracker Family | Breckenridge Family Portrait Photographer | Winter Family Photos

July 5, 2018

It must be busy season around here…my blog has slooooowed considerably. July is upon us! This is one of my favorite months, no doubt. My 8th wedding anniversary was on July 3rd. Yesterday was the 4th. And even though that was kind of uneventful this year, with my husband having to work. It was fun to have Dominic see some fireworks for the first time. He was 3 months old last year, but he slept through the whole show. My birthday is on the 12th. I found out I was pregnant in July 2016…it’s just a good month! Back to my other favorite month for this post, December! The day after Christmas I was hired as the Breckenridge family portrait photographer for the Cracker family. They were visiting Colorado and wanted to capture some memories in the snow. It was such a fun photo session in the snowy Colorado mountains 🙂

First, we stopped over at the always popular Sapphire Point Overlook. Here we got our more standard, “formal” family portraits. As well as some smaller groupings of our core family of 6, dad and sons, mom and daughter, and very importantly mom and dad. Then, we headed a few minutes down the road to Windy Point Campground and had a little more fun! The Cracker family had a snowball fight, threw snow in the air, walked, and just had a good ole time! This was a really enjoyable session, and for the end of December at 9,500 feet, it was sunny and mild. The absolute best weather we could have asked for.

I am pretty proud of all of the shots that I got where even the furbabies are looking at the camera 😉 I just love this one. Sweet, lovely family, fresh blanket of snow, and those stunning, blue mountains. Swoon!!
