The Martin Family | A Backyard Family Session

December 18, 2017 February 24, 2018 From the Hip Photo2402 views

Silly faces, Chewbacca dolls, hammocks, and murals…how fun and adorable is the Martin family?! The Martins are moving to a new house and wanted to have some special photos taken to commemorate the kids’ childhood home and all the sweet memories they have created there. Not to mention capturing how cute all the kids are at this stage! Mom and Dad let the kids wear what they wanted, and we love how natural they looked. They just look like kids! We find it especially impressive that everyone’s outfits all seem to go together without any serious coordination.

A Backyard to Remember

Hanging out in the backyard hammock, there was so much fun and laughter shared as they joked and tickled one another. See that leafy mural in the background? The Martins painted that on the side of their house themselves! Are you starting to sense just how cool this family is? Serious family goals. The kids all played around and showed off each of their unique personalities on their own, but when it was time to come together for group photos, they would hug and laugh like best friends. Mom and Dad got to slip away for a few moments for some charming couple photos, too. It was incredibly sweet to see a family so full of love.

Moving on to City Park

After making the most of their backyard session, the Martins headed to Denver’s City Park to change up the scenery. The architectural features of the pavilion made awesome props for the family to peer through iron fences, let the kids stand up high, and add some pops of color to the photos. City Park is home to the large and lovely Ferril Lake, which gave the family a waterfront backdrop–a scene that is pretty rare here in Denver.
