Location: High Park, Downtown Calgary, Alberta
Session Type: Family Lifestyle Photography
🌆 Why High Park Is So Perfect for Family Photos
High Park is a creative urban rooftop park built atop a downtown parkade—offering a colorful and lively backdrop that’s far from ordinary. With bright murals, elevated boardwalks, unexpected pop-up spaces, and city views, it’s one of Calgary’s most playful locations for families, especially those with older kids.
It’s ideal when families want something energetic, fun, and full of personality—perfect for capturing candid connection and real smiles.
📸 Inside the Session: What We Captured
This shoot took place during golden hour atop High Park. The warm light accentuated textures of painted walls, steel railings, and concrete, bringing out the liveliness of the location.
As a photographer specializing in relaxed lifestyle sessions, I guided movement-based prompts:
- Walking and looking at the murals
- Kids playing, jumping and running
- Family moments by the vibrant signage or city skyline
This dynamic space encourages movement, laughter, and authentic connection!
👨👩👧👦 Session Tips for Families at High Park
- Best Timing: Early morning gives soft light and fewer crowds.
- Wardrobe Suggestion: Keep outfits simple and neutral—denim, stripes, solids—with a pop of colour to complement murals. Avoid busy patterns that compete.
- Activity prompts: Bring simple games or encourage climbing/driving scooters through the space to bring energy.
- Include movement: Walking, jumping, playing games.
