Maeve’s Mountain Lake Sunrise Session: Photo Inspiration for Denver Dog Moms

 

There’s something truly special about working with clients who share my love for the mountains. I’ve had the privilege of photographing Molly and her gorgeous bearded collies multiple times, but this session with just Maeve, her sweet girl, was extra special.

We met on a brisk summer morning in mountains west of Boulder, where the early light bathed everything in a soft, golden glow and wildflowers, delicate and white like snowflakes, dotted the meadow. There’s something magical about the early hours that makes everything feel more intimate. The world is still waking up, and there’s just this peaceful serenity.

Molly and Maeve are more than just hiking buddies, they’re an unstoppable team. They’ve shared countless adventures together, whether that’s competing in dog sports, hiking trails, or road tripping to dog shows. Their connection is undeniable. It’s always so inspirational to witness the way they navigate the world side by side.

If you’re a dog mom who dreams of capturing a session with your pup in the beauty of the Colorado mountains, I can’t recommend a sunrise session enough. It’s a perfect time to slow down and soak in the quiet beauty of nature. Whether you’re hiking on the trail, playing in the wildflowers, or simply soaking in the serene mountain air, these moments will stay with you forever.
