Went for a quick trail walk through Englewood earlier this week to scout it as a family photo option. Big fan. This place is going on my list for fall sessions, and here's why.
The light is the whole game here. Most of the trails are shaded, which is exactly what you want. No squinting kids, no harsh shadows on faces, just soft even light under the trees. Your kids keep their eyes open and I don't have to do anything fancy. Everybody wins.
It's also an easy walk. Nothing steep, nothing tricky. If your toddler can walk, your toddler can handle this trail.
And at the far end there's a playground. This is the part I care about most, honestly. Tell the kids the playground comes after photos and suddenly everyone cooperates. Sessions go smoother with a bribe built in.
Oh, and a baby deer just stood there and let me take its picture. Can't promise it'll show up for your session, but the wildlife endorsement is noted.
So yeah. Shade, easy trails, a playground bribe, and good light for fall colors. If you're starting to think about holiday cards (it's that time), this is a great spot for them.
Want to shoot here? Get in touch and let's find a date.
