Denver Family & Senior Photographer

Denver family photographer capturing the real, the beautiful, and everything in between.

Natural, connection-focused photography for families and high school seniors in Denver and surrounding areas.

You need a photographer who knows how to find the light, read the room, and capture your family exactly as you are right now: wild, wonderful, and completely yours.

Based in Denver, Colorado and shooting all across the metro — from the  foothills of Golden to the neighborhoods of Brighton — Lily & Aspen Photography creates timeless portraits for families who want photos that actually feel like them.

Your Photographer

Hi, I'm Michelle — photographer, mom, and firm believer that the bloopers make the best shots.

I started photographing families in Texas in 2016 and my photography to Colorado in 2018. Since then I've built a reputation for sessions that feel easy, relaxed, and genuinely fun, even for the family members who weren't so sure they wanted to be there.

 

My approach is simple: I follow your family's lead. I work with your energy, your kids' attention spans, and whatever Colorado gives us that day,  and I find the moments in between the posed ones. The real ones. The ones you'll actually hang on your wall.

 

I'm based in Denver and shoot all across the metro and front range: Commerce City, Highlands Ranch, Littleton, Golden, Brighton, Arvada, Lakewood, Morrison, Parker, Castle Rock, and beyond. Whether we're in the golden foothills, a favorite Denver park, or a studio when the occasion calls for it. Colorado gives us something beautiful to work with every single time.

 

I also speak Spanish, which means families who prefer to communicate in Spanish are always welcome here.

 

Every session gets my full attention. Always.
