Why Summer Is the Perfect Season for Photos in Western Colorado

The magic of summer sessions. Let’s hear it for summer—the season of golden sunsets, wildflowers, and warm, glowy light that just hits different. If you’ve been thinking about updating your family photos (or doing a couple’s session just for fun), summer in Western Colorado might be the perfect time.

🌾 Tall Grasses, Wildflowers, and That Summer Glow

There’s something about this season that brings everything to life. The tall grasses sway just right, wildflowers pop up in the prettiest colors, and the skies? Soft, golden, and chef’s kiss perfect. Summer is when the fields open up and the light gets dreamy. There are so many great spots to choose from! But, I’m always open to adventuring to new locations!

🌞 300+ Days of Sunshine = No Stress

One of the best parts about living here? Western Colorado gets over 300 days of sunshine a year. That means more reliable weather, fewer reschedules, and none of the sticky-hot humidity or surprise storms you get elsewhere. Our summers are warm but not miserable—just right for running barefoot in a field or slow dancing in the golden light and that is the magic of summer sessions!

🌅 Late Start Times (With a Side of Ice Cream?)

Summer sessions start later in the evening when the light is just right—usually around 7:00–7:30 PM depending on the month.
It works out perfectly:

• You’re not rushing after work
• It’s cooler than mid-day
• You can feed the kids beforehand
• And if you’re looking for a bribe? Ice cream after your session is basically a win for everyone—husbands included 😄
