Boulder Colorado Portrait Session at South Mesa with Erika

Oct 25

Last month Erika and I got a chance to meet up in Boulder, Colorado to shoot some dreamy portraits at South Mesa Trailhead. South Mesa Trailhead is a gorgeous trail that wraps and weaves its way between Chautauqua Park and El Dorado Canyon near Boulder. There are dreamy stone houses, shrub lined trails, and a gorgeous view from the south of the flatirons.

Erika and I shot a session almost exactly like this last fall before I moved out to Grand Junction. It involved a long white dress whereas this one involved a short one, as well as the roaming hills of the front range. There is a creativity that comes to fruition when I can slow down and think through the process of what I want an image to feel like, and I’m so thankful for creative sessions like this that allow me to work through that.

I would love to do more sessions like this that just feel so magical and soft. If you’re interested, please reach out to me to plan your session!

Hi hello, I’m Kimberly 👋

I’m a Colorado elopement photographer who spends most of her time helping couples ditch the stress of traditional weddings and get married somewhere wildly beautiful instead. Most of my days are spent exploring places around Crested Butte, Denver, and the San Juans looking for beautiful ceremony spots and chasing good light.

If your wedding day includes dirt roads, wildflowers, sunrise lakes, or your dog in a tiny bandana, we’re probably going to get along great. You bring the vows — I’ll bring the camera, the location ideas, and an unreasonable amount of snacks.
