Family Photos That Actually Look Like Your Family

Kids are unpredictable — and that’s exactly what makes the best photos. At From the Hip Photo, we don’t try to make your family sit still and smile on command. We follow your family’s energy, capture the real stuff, and turn those chaotic, beautiful, perfectly imperfect moments into photos you’ll actually want to hang on your wall. We’ve been photographing Denver families since 2009, and we’ve learned that the best family portraits come from letting everyone just be themselves.

Our five-photographer team knows how to work with kids of every age — from the toddler who won’t stop running to the teenager who’d rather be anywhere else. We use games, movement, and natural interaction to bring out genuine smiles and real connections. No awkward posing, no bribery required (though we won’t judge if you bring snacks). The result? A gallery full of photos that feel like your actual life, not a stock photo.

And yes, your dog is absolutely invited. Pets are part of the family, and some of our favorite family photos feature four-legged members stealing the show. Every session includes professional retouching, full printing rights, and a photographer who’ll feel like a friend by the end of the hour. Have a high school senior who’s getting ready to graduate? We take those photos too!
