When Carol contacted me about taking photos of her family in Vail, she had an idea of what she wanted for the scenery and it included a view of the Gore Range. There are plenty of great spots that capture the range, but most of them are also completely overpopulated with locals and tourists alike. People wandering around shopping don't usually make for great backgrounds for portraits, unless you have a ton of time on your hands to Photoshop them out. I decided we should try something else instead. Not too many people have had the privilege of driving up Vail Mountain, but given that Russ and I both worked up there, we've done the drive more than a few times. I knew a spot that was the highest point on the mountain that the public can drive to, and it also had a great view of the Gore Range, so we chose to take the photos there.
I loved the colors that the family chose because they really popped against the greenery. If anyone is curious about choosing colors for family portraits, I have a great link on Pinterest that shows a few different color combinations that work well.
Here are a few photos from the Lena's Family Portraits on Vail Mountain.
