Summer Family Portraits | Dimmick Family | KW Designs Photography

I had the pleasure of photographing the Dimmick family recently at the beautiful Hildebrand Ranch Park in Littleton, Colorado. I absolutely love summer evening photo sessions!

The sun was bright, then clouds filled the sky, and then the sun peeked through again. We photographed in front of the barn, climbed and sat on some big boulders and then found the trees by the stream.

It was a joy to see the girls running around in the open space and the sweet moments with their grandparents and uncle and of course, mom and dad.

Kids grow quick and the moments can be fleeting as time continues ticking. What’s that saying? “The days are long but the years are short”. Schedule your family photo session today, you won’t regret it! Email me to get on my summer schedule before the busy fall rolls around.


More on the location of our photo session. Hildebrand Ranch boasts a beautiful scenic view of the valley originally homesteaded by Frank and Elizabeth Hildebrand settled in Deer Creek in 1866 on 160 acres. In March 1973 Denver leased 750 acres from Chatfield and 67 for the Denver Botanic Gardens which included the ranch's original buildings and is now owned and operated by Jefferson County Open Space for the public to enjoy. Check the website for the hiking trails around that area. Lots of wildlife and beautiful sunsets in a pretty secluded location. A Jefferson County Open Space photography permit is required to photograph on the property.

Until next time, cheers ~

“Live Your Truth” is a reminder Jamie sees in her mother's handwriting every day. This tattoo sits at the core of her coaching business based in Golden, CO. Each one of us has this truth living inside of us. How we find it and how we share it is as unique as a snowflake. No one will ever be you. Even if someone does what you “do” the way you do it is still different than the other person.

Enjoy a few images from adorable Baby E’s newborn photo session. Nothing sweeter than a fresh newborn baby and her cute puppy siblings. Baby E was very awake for her session, but also gave us some sleepy breaks. We designed this photo session around mom’s favorite swaddles and the nursery colors picked out for Baby E.

Women in Business - Bonnie Dimmick - Sleep, Love, and Happiness

My goodness, I don’t know a single person who doesn’t love a good night of sleep!! Naturally waking up in the morning, sun glinting through the window, the perfect temperature where you can snuggle back down into the covers and smile about the day that’s about to start. Seems like a fantasy!

Reality is a little more like the blare of an alarm turning the dream you just started into a police chase. The unsticking of your eyelids to your eyeballs and getting a clear look at the clock only to realize that after tucking your kid back in bed three times, on top of the dog barking at the moon, and your partner thrashing around like they’re drowning, you got a total of maybe 3 hours of sleep.
