I have photographed at Chautauqua Park in Boulder, Colorado hundreds of times. Everything from weddings to families! It is always such a wonderful place to be! Those huge Flatirons right there behind you, big open meadow, usually lots of sunshine! It was a gorgeous fall day for this sweet family!
If you happen to come for a session here, I highly recommend also adding on some time to go to the cutest general store and ice cream shop at Chautauqua Theater area. Or if you have kid(s) that just didn't quite get all their energy out during the photography session, then Chautauqua just redid their playground it is our personal family's favorite in town!
I will never get tired of this are of Boulder! It is a lovely place for family photos where I take everyone off to the side in a more quiet area than the very front. We get to enjoy a very relaxing and crowd-free spot that shows the landscape so well.
