Golden Aspens & Timing Your Colorado Fall Family Portraits

Fall in Colorado is one of the most beautiful times of year for family portraits. The crisp air, golden aspen trees, and glowing sunsets create the perfect backdrop for timeless family photos. But timing is everything—knowing when to schedule your fall family portraits ensures you’ll capture those vibrant colors before the season slips away. Whether you’re dreaming of mountain views in Aspen or the warm golden light along the Front Range, booking your session at the right time will make all the difference.

Capturing the Perfect Backdrop

Most families hope for glowing fall leaves paired with that warm, golden sunlight as their backdrop. The best time for this magic? Early morning and mid-afternoon leading into sunset—when the light is soft, golden, and incredibly flattering.

Fall colors depend heavily on weather. In the Colorado high country—Aspen, Breckenridge, and Loveland—leaves are already starting to change. On the Front Range—Denver, Boulder, and Longmont—the trees typically peak about three weeks later. This year’s late-August rains may even give us a longer, more colorful season.
