Fall Fun Family Adventure Session in Salida, Colorado

From the river to the hills, this family had a fun fall adventure session in Salida, Colorado. We started out exploring along the Arkansas River near downtown. We let the little ones run, jump, climb, and play as they do best. These guys were full of energy so we were constantly on the move. We lucked out with a beautiful and warm October afternoon. An added benefit of a river valley session is that the fall foliage lingers in town longer than on the high peaks. After the kids got their fill by the water we took a short drive across the river to a hill overlooking Salida and the surrounding peaks. The kids were recently introduced to The Sound of Music so we all remarked how they were like Maria in the scene where she sings “The Hills are Alive.” Plus, you can’t beat the light towards sunset at that spot. The kids threw on their “Mellies” just as it started to cool down and I played hide and seek with my camera with the youngest on our hike back. Thank you SO MUCH to this wonderful local family for having me capture these memories.
