After Chautauqua Park, South Mesa Trailhead might just be the second most iconic mountain view in the Boulder area. And it comes as no surprise. I mean, look at the backdrop for Alexis’s senior portraits! Alexis specifically chose South Mesa Trailhead for her senior portraits because of the mountains there. Not only does South Mesa Trailhead have a fantastic view of the mountains, it also has an historic building and a beautiful wooden bridge.
South Mesa Trailhead is a fairly popular location, but I’ve never had an issue working around other visitors there. However, the parking lot does fill up quickly! So if you plan on taking your photos at South Mesa Trailhead (especially on a weekend), be sure to arrive early to allow time to find a parking spot or wait for one to open up.
We had beautiful weather for Alexis’s senior portrait session! Alexis brought her mom, Natalia, with her to her session and both of them were such lovely people. Alexis and Natalia were both so sweet and were truly so enjoyable to be around! Here are some of my favorite photos from Alexis’s session.
