Red Rocks Open Space: Ashley in Flowers

editorial

Ah!!  I am SO in love with the images you are about to see!

Ashley is a longtime René Tate Photography fan!  She’s been a follower for years and one day we bumped into each other in yoga studio’s locker room and she introduced herself.  You can read more about that unexpected encounter here.

After getting to know her the last couple of years and learning her style, I was so elated when she contacted me for some head shots for a couple of special projects she’s working on. I just knew we were going to create something really beautiful together.  We shot these images in Red Rocks Open Space in Colorado Springs.  And they are so Anthropologie, right?  Ashley is a brave, beautiful, joyful girl who is creative beyond measure! I just love her and want to be more like her!

I hope you smile when you look through this shoot we put together for her!  Special thank you to the EVER FABULOUS Twigs & Posies in Colorado Springs for the lovely head piece!!

Enjoy! Hope you have a beautiful day!
René

Get to know me

With 20 years of experience, I bring a calm, steady presence to your most meaningful days. I specialize in documenting relationships over time—from weddings and anniversaries to babies and families—with a love for black-and-white imagery, honest moments, and photographs that belong in albums, not just on a feed. There are no forced poses or “pretend to” prompts here, only space for what’s real. I’m not just here for the highlight; I’m here for the history you’re creating.

And I can't wait to capture your story
