The Howard Family | Longmont Family Photography Session | Sandstone Ranch

The first blog post of the new week is the Howard family. We met at the visitor’s center at Sandstone Ranch for this Longmont family portrait session. I have been lucky enough to work with this family before during Courtney and Justin’s Berthoud wedding. And again with Courtney and Kaylie for Kaylie’s class of 2021 senior photos. One of the four locations for Kaylie’s senior portraits was also Sandstone Ranch. It’s a great location though…one of my Longmont favorites! Sandstone Ranch is great because it provides a lot of variety in an easily walkable location. It offers a cool rustic barn, ponds, unique rock formations, a bridge, and golden open fields.

We lucked out with such a beautiful, sunny, warm evening in Longmont. It was the picture-perfect setting for a photoshoot! This family picked out some great outfits for their session as well. I liked that their outfits went together, without being too “matchy”. The girls really showed off their individual styles too, which is always great. People are most confident during their portrait session if they feel good in the clothing they are wearing. Especially young women! Kaylie wore a trendy green capri pant suit type outfit. Ava had a floral dress with sheer top. It incorporated the green of Kaylie’s outfit as well. She added a cute top knot and some white combat boots. They definitely have differing styles, but both beautiful and so photogenic. Courtney and Justin looked great as well! They went more neutral than the girls, which kept things from photographing too busy during the photos of all four of them. Courtney wore a long sleeve fitted black dress. Justin opted for casual jeans and a maroon sweater. Everyone was looking sharp and it made my job easy!

This is definitely one of my favorites during their Longmont family portrait session. We were trying to just make the best of these crazy times we were (are still) living in! There were passerby that got a real kick out of it when we brought out the covid-themed props!

Thanks Howard family! It was a very fun session, and we shared some much needed laughs together during a difficult time in our world. I hope to have many more opportunities to have your lovely, smiling faces in front of my camera in the future 🙂 On the blog next, Katie and Jacob’s spring couple’s portraits at Lake Estes. What a gorgeous session for a sweet couple visiting from out-of-state. Have a great week ahead friends!
