Garden of the Gods Sunrise and Sunset Landscape Photos
Our plan for each session, Sunrise and Sunset, will be to walk or hike out to the best location for the weather conditions that day. After we capture the sunrise, we will meet at a local coffee shop for a photo processing session. Then we will break for the afternoon and meet back up for the evening session. Example scenes I've captured from all over the park.
