I love photographing senior pictures for graduating teens and have had the opportunity to shoot a bunch of them recently in my hometown of Boulder, Colorado. Boulder has a lot to offer in the way of landscapes and backdrops for senior pictures due to the city and county’s well-managed and beautiful open spaces, hiking trails, and other points of interest. Chautauqua Park at the base of the Flatiron mountains as well as CU Campus, the Boulder Reservoir, and Coot Lake are all beautiful areas that provide amazing, naturally scenic backdrops for senior pictures (the images below were captured at one or more of these locations). And if you’re wanting to mix in some urban environs, the Hill and Pearl Street are great places for photos and super close to Chautauqua, NCAR, and the Boulder Res.
