On a spur of the moment decision, we took a trip to Colorado’s Gross Reservoir just at the perfect time - sunset. Nice golden glow… and the weather was perfect! Satori and Maddie had fun running around, although mother was a bit nervous with such steep slopes down to the water!
I have an extremely busy week (end of October), preparing for a HUGE birthday party for Satori, a few Halloween events and parents visiting from out of town, so I apologize for the lack of photos and blog updates. I will be posting a few as soon as I get a breather!
This place is so beautiful, even in October. So today I finally caved and got a membership - enough to bring all my family and a few guests each time we visit! So that means I can bring clients if desired. 
Although there wasn’t as much color and flowers as our last visit in the summer, I had a willing model and I can’t turn that down, so here’s a few photos of Miss Satori:
I got to see a beautiful part of the world tonight with Aiden and his family. Beautiful sunlit views around his house provided for some great landscaping.
What a handsome boy!
Satori, Maddie our golden, and I hiked on a little trail above Nederland high school. We could hear the kids practicing football, it was about 6pm this evening.
Snippets of color amidst the first of the season’s snow…
Here was my “bribe” for the night. Satori got to wear her contrasty Hanna Anderssen dress with her matching doggie dress. A photographer’s nightmare, but luckily, most of the photos I shot didn’t have the dress in it.
The late afternoon fog set in, but here you see a hint of Eldora ski resort in the background..
Early this morning I got to meet Kyleigh and family! The fog was pretty intense, but it finally lifted a bit. Kyleigh had fun throwing rocks in the water, and playing with her family dog!
As you can see, this family was a natural at posing!
Speaking from a compositional perspective, this strong “diagonal” line that the family naturally settled into appealed to me alot!
And this photo made me chuckle, right before Kyleigh popped up with a lollipop full of dog hair!
