Family Session at Ashcroft: The Herricks Family’s Mountain Story

A Sweet Reunion in the Ghost Town Vistas

Watching a family grow over the years is truly one of the most rewarding parts of being a photographer. Having previously captured their exciting gender reveal event at Herron Park, as well as their sweet family portraits along the East of Aspen Trail in Aspen, Colorado, welcoming the Herricks family back in front of my camera felt like catching up with old friends. You can click here to see their Herron Park gender reveal or click here to view their East of Aspen Trail session to see how much their family has grown!

Planning a Family Session at Ashcroft

Choosing a family session at Ashcroft provided an incredible backdrop filled with historic wooden cabins and wide views. Nestled in Castle Creek Valley, Ashcroft Ghost Town offers a quiet setting where kids can explore freely. Moreover, the open landscape allows parents to relax and enjoy the fresh mountain air together.

Three Adorable Kids and Endless Energy

This time around, the family dynamic was even more lively with three adorable kids under three years old. Joining their two sweet big sisters is their newest addition, a precious baby boy.

The three little ones brought so much genuine playfulness to our family session at Ashcroft. From the girls laughing along dirt paths to cuddles with their baby brother, every moment highlighted their deep bond.

Timeless Memories in Castle Creek Valley

The soft afternoon light filtered through the valley, casting a warm glow over the historic buildings and lush mountain foliage. Combining candid movement with classic group portraits made the session feel like a relaxed family outing in the fresh mountain air.

The Herricks family continues to create such beautiful memories together in the mountains, and documenting these milestones as their family grows is an absolute honor. If you want to see more mountain family stories, feel free to explore my Aspen family photography gallery.
