Nestled in the heart of Castle Rock, the downtown area is one of my favorite locations for portrait sessions—and it’s easy to see why. With its perfect blend of small-town charm and modern flair, downtown Castle Rock offers a gorgeous backdrop for families, high school seniors, and maternity sessions alike.
You’ll find paved pathways perfect for playful skipping or casual strolls, big beautiful trees and lush shrubs, striking public art, unique architecture, and of course, breathtaking views of the iconic Castle Rock itself. Whether you’re looking for a cozy, nature-infused setting or a more urban feel, this location gives you the best of both worlds.
A quick note: Festival Park, located in the downtown area, is currently experiencing a bit of a nature makeover—thanks to some very industrious beavers (yes, really!). Stream access may vary depending on their daily adventures.
As a proud Castle Rock resident of 19 years, I love capturing memories in a place that feels like home. There’s truly nothing better than creating timeless portraits right here in our beautiful backyard.
