Littleton Photographer


Downtown Littleton Family Photography with Teenagers


Because family photos are for more than just toddlers.



There’s something delightful about Downtown Littleton.  It's a little quirky, in the best way possible.


Old brick buildings, alleyways, and vintage-ish shopfronts all make for great photography back drops. As a photographer, I’m always drawn to places that have character.


They were a family of four—two parents, and two teenagers.  They're perfect proof that family photos should extend beyond the toddler years.

Why Photograph Your Family When Your Kids Are Teenagers?



Family photography often gets put on pause once kids grow out of their early years. Life gets busy. Schedules get packed. Teenagers have activities, sports, jobs.

These years matter just as much as the baby ones.


This is the season of parenthood is full of personality and independence.  It’s also a time when family starts to look and feel different. Conversations get deeper, traditions evolve. Moments together may be fewer, but they’re often more intentional. Photographing this phase is like freezing a moment in time just before everything changes again—before they’re off to their next adventure.

The Charm of Downtown Littleton



Downtown Littleton is the perfect spot. Textures, colors, variety.  It's got it all.  And it's all in walking distance.

Letting Teens Be Themselves

No stiff poses.  Long gone are the days of the awkward peak around the tree. It's fun when they start to find spots that they like and want a photo in.

To the Parents of Teenagers:

You’re Doing an Amazing Job


If you’ve been thinking about scheduling family photos but wondering if it's worth the potential teen angst?  It totally is.  


Let’s walk downtown. Let’s find the perfect brick wall, golden light, an empty alley (lol).  And let’s tell this chapter of your story—because it deserves to be remembered, too.

You Don’t Need a “Perfect” Reason

A lot of families ask me when the “right time” is to book a session.


Here’s my answer: Anytime you want to remember what this season feels like.


Bonus points to any family who asks if they can recreate the iconic Breakfast Club fist pump.
