Rachael Elana Photography
in Denver, Colorado!
Colorado has completely captured my heart during the few months I spent in Denver earlier this summer and I’m thrilled to announce that I’ve officially made the Mile High City my permanent home! Between the “quaking” Aspen trees, abundant gardens and parks, easy access to the mountains, and the healthy, active lifestyle, this New Yorker of 13 years has learned to relax and slow down. I’ve been itching to be near the mountains and be surrounded by nature for many years but my amazing clients whom I’ve photographed year after year, made me feel rooted in NYC. 2020 changed all that and while NYC will always feel like one of my homes, I’m over the moon to be photographing families, couples, and celebrations of all kinds in Denver, Boulder, and the surrounding areas. NYC clients—worry not, I will still visit XO!
I’m eager to bring my seven+ years of experience as a Lifestyle Photographer capturing the playful and intimate emotions among families and couples (weddings, elopements, engagements, proposals, anniversary celebrations—I do it all!) in addition to portraits, headshots, events, and branding/marketing images to new families and individuals in Denver! In honor of my move, I’m offering 20% off all Denver-area family photo sessions with the code “Denver” for sessions scheduled through November 7th.
Learn more about my Fall Family Photo sessions here and contact me to schedule a session! Book me for a sunrise mountain elopement, a Sunday afternoon in Washington Park, portraits with RiNo’s street art, or wandering around LoHi! I can’t wait to meet you!
*I’m vaccinated for COVID-19 and remain masked during all photo sessions to keep you and your loved ones safe and healthy.*
As a Denver newbie, I wanted to share some of my favorite spots (below). What are your favorites? Comment to share!
My favorite Denver spots:
The Denver Botanical Gardens are absolutely spectacular!
Washington Park The gardens within the park are gorgeous and it has a wonderful walking, biking, and running path. Tennis courts and boating too! It's my oasis.
Uncle has delicious vegan ramen and eggplant bao buns! They also offer reservations for outdoor seating which I greatly appreciate.
Fierce 45 has a wonderful new client special for two weeks of unlimited classes for $25. I love the HIIT-Pilates classes and look forward to my classes every week.
Pearl Street Farmers Market Come hungry and with lots of reusable totes! Incredible Market!
The Perfect Petal has the most incredible boutique in the historic Highlands neighborhood AND is an increcible florist.
Lekker Coffee & Watering Hole I took a wonderful flower arranging workshop at this adorable cafe with Black + Blossomed and loved it. Fabulous coffee, and a perfect space to work remotely.
Tacos Tequila Whiskey Don't let the lame name fool you, the food is delicious!
