Estes Park Family Photographer

Photographing your next favorite memory in the mountains

Whether you're visiting Estes Park for the first time or it's your yearly tradition, this session is about more than pretty pictures!

Let’s ditch the stiff poses and embrace what really matters: laughter echoing through pine trees, kids with dirt on their knees, bear hugs under golden light, and those fleeting in-between moments that tell the true story of your family.

These aren't your average family photos

WE'RE MAKING MEMORIES OUT HERE

"Story Maker Photo is a unicorn in the photography business. Amber can put anyone at ease to capture those natural, heart-warming moments."

- Heather & Andy W.

Get ready for a relaxed experience that makes it easy to forget the camera and make memories instead

That smile on your face when you’re watching your kids scramble over rocks or chase each other down a dirt trail? That’s what we’re after.

We’ll keep things simple and unhurried—more like spending time together in a beautiful place than posing for photos.

I’ll offer just enough guidance to help everyone feel comfortable, then step back so the real moments can unfold.

You, your people, and the mountains

These photography sessions are perfect for every season of life

I know firsthand how special it is to visit a place like Estes Park with the people you love.

There’s something about breathing in that crisp mountain air, exploring together, and feeling small in the best way.

These sessions are about honoring that feeling.

I’m here to help you press pause, soak it in, and walk away with photos that feel like you. The messy, magical, unscripted kind of moments that you’ll want to remember forever.

let's make it official

"It felt way more like meeting a friend at 5am to hang out and take pics all day, rather than bracing ourselves for hours of portraits and strained prolonged smiles. The photos themselves captured core memories in the most beautiful and effortless way and we get so much joy looking through them over and over."

- Mel & Sara
