Summer Sunrise Family Session at Chautauqua Park with Macy and Ben
There’s nothing quite like a summer sunrise at Chautauqua Park in Boulder. The iconic Flatirons glowing in the early morning light, the peaceful stillness before the day begins—it’s pure magic. So when Macy and Ben reached out for their Chautauqua Park Family Photos, we knew a sunrise session was the perfect fit.
I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Macy for nearly a decade and it’s an absolute joy to document her sweet, growing family. This time around, we had perfect weather and that dreamy golden glow that only sunrise can deliver. That early in the morning the trails are still quiet and it felt like we had the entire park to ourselves for their Chautauqua Park Family Photos.
That’s one of the biggest perks of shooting at sunrise, especially at popular locations like Chautauqua. During the summer months, the park fills up quickly with hikers, tourists, and locals soaking up the sunshine. But at dawn? It’s peaceful, private, and beautifully serene—ideal for families looking for a more intimate experience. If you’re considering this stunning backdrop for your own Chautauqua Park Family Photos, it’s good to know that photographers are required to obtain a permit from Boulder Open Space and Mountain Parks. Don’t worry—I’ve always got it covered. I keep my permit up-to-date so my clients can relax and focus on making memories.
This session was full of laughter, snuggles, and genuine connection. I couldn’t be more grateful to capture another year in the life of this incredible family.
