I am so excited to announce the dates and locations for this year’s Denver mini sessions!

Every year I offer discounted mini sessions to anyone who’d like a spot.  I see a lot of families come back year after year and it warms my heart every fall!  I love seeing how everyone’s family has grown.  It’s my favorite event as a photographer!

This year I have seven dates and locations to choose from.  Because there are limited openings, a lot of these spots have sold out from those on my early access VIP email list (email me to get on!).  Here is what I have available at the time of writing:

• Monday 9/22 at Union Station
• Tuesday 9/30 in RiNo
• Thursday 10/23 at Jefferson Park

If those are your jam, feel free to book a space here!  My calendar is live with all the details.  I’ll copy + paste them here for easy access as well:

LOCATIONS:

• Mon 9/22: Union Station
• Tues 9/30: RiNo
• Weds 10/8: Cheesman Park (sold out)
• Sat 10/11: Chautauqua Park (sold out)
• Fri 10/17: Clear Creek History Park (sold out)
• Thurs 10/23: Jefferson Park
• Sat 11/1: City Park (sold out)

Here is a break-down of what each location is like:

1. Union Station: neutral colors, modern, urban
2. RiNo: colorful, urban, gritty
3. Cheesman Park: floral, tall trees, Greek architecture
4. Chautauqua Park: flatirons, fields, outdoorsy
5. Clear Creek History Park: rustic, fall colors*
6. Jefferson Park: park vibes, fall colors*
7. City Park: rose bushes, city + mtn views

*Fall colors can’t be guaranteed due to events out of my control, but I try to pick locations and dates that have worked in the past for getting fall colors in your photos!*

LENGTH:

• 15 minutes per session

PRICING OPTIONS:

1. Base package: $295 for 10 images
2. Bonus package: $395 for 20+ images

THE DETAILS:

• I’ll be doing things a little differently this year! Each session is still 15 minutes long but there will be no buffer in between sessions. I have realized that y’all are excellent about showing up on time so it’s no longer needed!
• Each mini session will include a maximum of ten (10) images. This is included in the base price of $295. In the past, I’ve included a ton of images in each mini session booking. Unfortunately, due to how busy the fall gets for my businesses, this has sadly become unsustainable for me on the back end. As such, I’m capping the maximum number of images included in each mini session at no more than ten. Thank you for understanding!
• If you’d like more than ten images from your mini session, you are welcome to add those on! It will be an additional $100 to receive 20+ images from your session. It is not required that you decide this now; you can always decide later!
• In order to book your mini session date, a non-refundable retainer of $150 is due today. The final balance invoice will be sent closer to your shoot date.
• If you need to cancel your mini session reservation, please reach out to friends + family who might be able to take your spot to transfer to them! The $150 retainer paid today is non-refundable for any reason.
• I do my best to pick dates and locations that avoid rain as much as possible! Heavy rain and blizzard-like conditions will warrant rescheduling. Light rain and light snow will most likely not warrant rescheduling.
• In the event of a late arrival, I will take as many photos of you + your group as I can, but I won’t be able to roll over into anyone else’s session that’s booked after you. I work fast — we’ll still get some banger images!

And that’s all for now! If you have any questions, email is the best way to get in touch: ashley.kidder@gmail.com

Thank you again for supporting my business for another year of family photos, maternity photos, couples’ photos, senior photos, and everything else in between. I am so very grateful for your continued support!

Fall in Denver is one of the most popular times of year for family photos, and for good reason.  The season offers a natural backdrop of bold colors and soft light that make images stand out without feeling overly posed.  Scheduling Denver fall family sessions gives you the chance to update your portraits in a way that feels both timeless and seasonal.

Locations throughout Denver shine in the fall.  Whether it’s modern neighborhoods, open parks, or mountain views, the variety allows every family to find a setting that feels right for them.  The cooler weather also makes sessions more comfortable, especially for little ones who might struggle in summer heat.

And for me.  I struggle in the summer heat.  I swear I was an ice road trucker in a past life.  

Beyond creating beautiful images, Denver fall family sessions serve a practical purpose.  They’re perfect for holiday cards, seasonal gifts, or wall art that reflects your family in a specific moment in time.  These sessions capture connection, laughter, and personality in a setting that feels genuine rather than staged.

Availability in the fall tends to book quickly, so reaching out early ensures you’ll have your choice of dates and locations.  Please get in touch as soon as possible to get on my early access VIP email list so you can get first dibs. 

For now, here are the seven locations that will be available for your Denver fall family mini sessions:
