The Best Time of Year for Maternity Photos in Colorado Springs
One of the most common questions I receive is when to schedule maternity photos in Colorado Springs. The answer depends on your vision, but each season here offers something uniquely beautiful.
Spring (March–May) is known for delicate blossoms around town. While many people call them cherry blossoms, they are typically crabapple trees in our area. These blooms range from white to soft pink to deeper, vibrant pink tones. They’re usually found in landscaped areas within town rather than growing naturally in the Colorado wilderness. Spring maternity photography in Colorado Springs offers a soft, romantic backdrop with fresh greenery and mild temperatures. The session below is a perfect example of a spring blossom maternity session.
Summer brings glowing sunsets and lush landscapes. Mountain views, open fields, and golden evening light make outdoor maternity photos in Colorado Springs especially magical. Sessions are typically scheduled at sunset to avoid harsh midday light.
Fall is a client favorite, particularly near Monument and the Tri-Lakes area. Warm golden tones and changing leaves create rich, earthy backdrops perfect for colorful, elegant maternity portraits.
Winter offers a completely different aesthetic. Snowy sessions can feel ethereal and intimate, especially when styled with soft knits or flowing gowns against a white landscape.
No matter the season, the ideal time during pregnancy is typically between 28–34 weeks, when your bump is beautifully round but you’re still comfortable moving.
Choosing the right season for your maternity photography session in Colorado Springs helps set the tone for your entire gallery — whether that’s light and floral, golden and glowing, or snowy and serene.
