Mini Session

South Mesa Trailhead Minis | Boulder, CO

Colorado’s natural beauty is nothing short of spectacular, with its majestic mountains and diverse landscapes. Yet, when autumn arrives and the trees burst into golden flames of color, it’s a photographer’s dream come true! The results are truly stunning, and I find immense joy in capturing tender family moments during this glorious fall season. During […]

Outdoor Fall Mini Sessions | South Mesa Trailhead, Boulder, CO

I recently saw a quote that made me pause, it said, “Fall is proof that change is beautiful.” This season does bring a lot of change. It marks the end of summer and closes the book on that chapter; and it also reminds us that the busy holiday season is right around the corner. It’s […]

Stute Family Outdoor Session | South Mesa Trailhead in Boulder, CO

The crisp Colorado air and the warm embrace of family created the perfect backdrop for the recent Stute Family outdoor session. Currently living in the heart of Nebraska, Mary and her husband take regular trips to Colorado, where their children have set down roots. Lately, their journeys hold a special significance. They are opportunities to […]

Power Family Boulder Session | South Mesa Trailhead

The Power Family Boulder session was nothing short of heartwarming, a testament to the beauty of familial bonds and childhood innocence. As I looked through the final images, I couldn’t help but be reminded of the importance of family and the need to cherish these fleeting moments. The Powers reminded me that in every smile, […]

Green Extended Family Session | South Mesa Trailhead, Boulder

How do you feel when plans suddenly change? Are you someone who is flexible and go-with-the-flow, or do you become flustered and totally rattled? Let me tell you about what happened with this family and just why I love working with them. We were supposed to shoot at Red Rocks in Denver, but with the […]

Mehra Outdoor Family Session | South Mesa Trailhead in Boulder, CO

Kids are funny. As a family photographer, I have the privilege of capturing hundreds of families a year. I never quite know how the kids are going to act when put in front of a camera. (I bet the parents have this same thought as well!) A lot can ride on their mood, if they […]

Martin Family Outdoor Session | South Mesa Trailhead in Boulder, CO

Last November, I had the pleasure of photographing a mini family session at the South Mesa Trailhead in Boulder, CO. As a photographer, I am always captivated by the stunning scenery this location has to offer. It was truly a pleasure to capture the Martin Family outdoor session at this scenic spot. Their son was […]

Boulder Snowy Mountain Session | South Mesa Trailhead

It is always interesting to see how fate can help determine the person we are meant to be with. That was the case for Travis and Alyssa. Neither of them are native to Colorado. Travis is from Michigan and Alyssa is from Louisiana. It may seem as though their paths would never have reason to […]

Cohen Extended Family Session at South Mesa Trailhead | Boulder, CO

From grandparents to cousins, aunts and uncles, extended family plays a vital role in our lives. Preserving those memories through photography is essential. Extended family can often be spread out, making it difficult to gather everyone together for a photo. But, when we do, it’s a special moment worth remembering. This blog features the Cohen […]

Mini Session

South Mesa Flatirons Fall Mini Sessions | Boulder CO

Do you remember as a kid how slooooow time would go? Being told to wait even one minute was equivalent to waiting for eternity. I have found that the older I get, the faster time goes. Even when I try to “cherish every second”, “be present” and “live in the moment”, I still can’t figure […]

Boulder Colorado Fall Mini Sessions at South Mesa Trailhead

Boulder Colorado Fall Mini Sessions When I think of fall, I think of warm drinks, fun layered clothing, hot soup, and of course—changing leaves. There truly is nothing like the bright, vivid yellow of the aspen trees against mountainous backdrops. That is why I love Colorado Fall Mini Sessions so much! And since it is […]

Let me explain what it is and what you can expect when you arrive for a fall mini session with Catherine Chamberlain Photography […]
