Running Through the Hills | Spring Family Photos at Nose Hill

Spring is one of the most magical seasons for a family photo session. Nature is waking up again, with the trees bursting with fresh green leaves and the flowers starting to grow. Back in the spring, I had the privilege of capturing a fun family session at Nose Hill Park—big rolling hills, a gentle breeze, and a lot of energy—thanks to four vivacious boys.

The perfect spring setting

Nose Hill Park in Calgary is the ideal backdrop for a spring family session. The rolling hills provide a sense of openness and adventure, perfect for kids to run wild and explore. The landscape creates the perfect place for kids to just be kids, all while surrounded by the natural beauty of the season.

As a photographer, one of my favourite things to do during a session is to let a family interact freely while I capture those organic, unposed moments. With four boys, this was especially easy! From playful piggyback rides to moments of quiet connection as they sat together on the hill, I was able to document their true personalities.
