The Wild Prairie Journal
Stories from the hearts I’ve photographed, planning guidance for the seasons you’re in, and honest moments worth holding onto.
From Colorado Springs family sessions to mountain elopements, weddings, and couples’ adventures across Colorado, this is where inspiration and real life meet.
Mother and Daughter Photos at Goose Island Bridge, Lake City
Karissa and Saylor have trusted me with their memories more times than I can count. This time, we ventured all the way to Lake City, Colorado, for a session on Goose Island Bridge, a hidden gem stretching across Lake San Cristobal, now famous thanks to TikTok. Karissa planned the session as part of her birthday adventure, renting a cabin and making it a whole weekend for just the two of them.
We wandered the bridge, skipped stones, and soaked in mountain light that felt like pure Colorado magic. The connection between them is what keeps me coming back to sessions like these. Goose Island Bridge is definitely a spot I’d return to in a heartbeat for anyone dreaming of photos that feel wild, quiet, and deeply true.
