Mountain Backdrop Senior Photos at South Mesa Trailhead

September 23, 2025

Beautiful Boulder Senior Photography at South Mesa Trailhead

I’ve photographed at South Mesa Trail many times before but I’m extra excited to share Ivy’s photos on the blog today because it seemed even prettier than normal on the evening we met up there for her senior photoshoot. It’s been pretty rainy lately by Colorado’s standards which makes it difficult to plan sessions around but it also can sometimes help create some pretty spectacular sunset skies. I wasn’t sure the sky would do much at Ivy’s session and then right as we were about to leave it got nice and colorful with some pinks added into the dusky blue. I love that she and her parents were up for heading to the amazing mountain view pull off just down the road from South Mesa since there are some great wildflowers there at this time of year. I had such a hard time deciding what to share but managed to stick with these photos below.

The senior yearbook season is in full swing and I still have some dates left before the deadlines are here. Please take a look at the SENIORS page of my website and reach out if you still need to get yours done. I’d love to help!
