If you’ve been thinking about booking a session to capture the bond you share with your dog, summer is one of the best times to do it. And if you’re in the Denver area, South Platte Park makes the whole experience even more magical. Here’s why summer sessions—especially in this local gem—are so special:
1. Lush, vibrant backdrops
In the summer, South Platte Park comes alive. The trees are full and green, the grasses are tall and golden, and everything just feels more alive. The natural textures and colors create the perfect setting for warm, beautiful portraits that look amazing as wall art or in a coffee table album.
2. No winter coats or chilly paws
Summer means no frozen fingers or rushed sessions. You can wear your favorite sundress, tank top, or shorts without layering up, and your pup gets to enjoy sniffing around without shivering. It makes the whole experience feel more relaxed and joyful—for both of you.
3. Gorgeous light and cooler evenings
To beat the heat and get the best light, sessions are held about an hour before sunset. This “golden hour” light is soft, warm, and flattering. At South Platte Park, it filters through the trees and reflects off the water in the most beautiful way, creating images that feel dreamy and glowing.
4. That summer glow-up
Let’s be honest—most of us feel a little more confident in the summer. A light tan or sun-kissed glow can help you feel radiant in your photos. Combined with the right outfit, your dog’s happy face, and that golden light? Pure magic.
5. More time to play and connect
Summer just feels more spacious, doesn’t it? With longer days and a more relaxed pace, it’s the perfect time to slow down, breathe deep, and really be with your dog. The sessions aren’t just about the photos—they’re about creating a special experience and celebrating the connection you share. South Platte Park’s trails, trees, and open skies set the perfect stage for that.
