There is just something about this location that is really magical! The light that slices through the Flatiron Mountains in the background during the summer is just stunning. The meadow is ever expanding in all directions and allows for room to let little ones run. The tall cottonwoods create a cute path and wonderful spot for shade. This location just feels so much like a true locals spot in Boulder.
I used to live right down the road from here and love how it can be so quiet that this spot. I will never give it away to others because I found it when I was a local :)
I was excited to share this spot with this family since I have been photographing them all for over 9 years now, even before they had kids! The girls loved being silly and twirling around with their mom. Then running over and giving big kisses to their dad's cheeks!
