Lyndee’s senior photos at the Paint Mines
These senior photos at the Paint Mines were some of my favorites to date! Senior photos were how I got into photography, so it’ll always have a big place in my heart.
These senior photos were actually done outside of Denver at the Paint Mines. Lyndee wanted a cool, unique location. And these senior photos at the Paint Mines did not disappoint! I absolutely love the unique landscape of the Paint Mines. It really did feel like we were on a different planet, even though we were less than 2 hours away from Denver!
Here are some tips if you’re having Denver senior photos
- Choose a location that feels like you. If you love the water, why not choose a lakeside location? If you love the mountains, what about this gorgeous spot just 20 minutes from Denver? Love pizza? Let’s go to a local pizza shop! Your senior photos should have lots of your personality. Don’t be afraid to branch out.
- Shoot for the morning or right before sunset for the perfect light. But if your photos are in the mountains, keep in mind that the sun might dip below a mountain earlier than expected!
- Bring something that shows off your personality. This could be a letterman jacket, an instrument– anything! Not only will it make your senior photos special and unique, but it’ll also give you something to interact with if you’re feeling a little awkward at the beginning!
- Dress for the terrain. So often I see gals arrive with sky high stilettos and while you look gorgeous, it can make trekking around uncomfortable and even unsafe. If you want to wear your heels, consider a more urban location like Union Station or the Denver Botanical Gardens.
- Explore outside of Denver. Colorado has so many gorgeous locations, don’t be stuck with thinking of spots right inside Denver. I am always down to travel for a fun, unique spot!
