Outdoor Family Portraits — The Magic of Colorado - Sandy Puc Photography

Colorado offers spectacular scenery for outdoor family portraits: rugged mountain ranges, golden meadow grasses, aspen groves, and red rock formations.

Why outdoors?

Natural light is flattering and changes throughout the day.
You get more background interest: sweeping vistas, seasonal colors.
It often feels more relaxed for children and families.

Best locations in Colorado for portraits

Mountain locations with meadows or pine and aspen trees.
Local parks with vistas or overlooks.
Open areas near water: lakes, streams, ponds.

Tips for a magical shoot

Schedule for golden hour — early morning or sunset.
Dress in colors that harmonize with nature (earth tones, jewel tones).
Bring layers for warmth and texture.
