Fall Color Senior Portraits at Denver Botanic Gardens

November 18, 2025

Fall Color High School Senior Photography at Denver Botanic Gardens & City Park

Early last week I met up with Chase to photograph him for his senior photos. The fall color is mostly coming to an end here in Denver after one of the best Autumns we’ve had in recent memory. It’s been so warm and the color is still hanging on some of  the trees that are planted at gardens and parks. (The color is long gone in the more natural areas found along our waterways though). One thing I really love about Denver Botanic Gardens is that even when we are well past the prime gardens time, they have so many beautiful fountains and structures that make for some really nice photo backdrops. Plus, at this time of year the fluffy grasses look really pretty in the sunshine too. There is also the indoor tropical garden which is nice to have year round and get us through the winter when everything is brown and boring. After walking around Denver Botanic Gardens for about an hour we ended the session over at City Park to try and get a skyline photo. Chase ended up with a gorgeous, colorful sunset to end his senior photoshoot. Below are my personal favorites that we created together.
