Garden of the Gods Dog Photography: Randi & AL’s Colorado Adventure

There’s something truly special about capturing the bond between a person and their dog — that unspoken connection built on trust, adventure, and unconditional love. I’m Bobak Radbin, a Colorado Springs-based photographer, and I recently had the joy of photographing Randi and her dog AL at the iconic Garden of the Gods. This session was all about celebrating friendship, freedom, and the shared joy of exploring Colorado’s beauty together.

The Inspiration Behind the Session

Randi reached out to me while visiting from out of town, hoping to create lasting memories with her adventurous pup, AL (short for Adventure Lover). She wanted images that reflected their easygoing connection and the magic of exploring Colorado’s open spaces.

From the moment we met, I knew this was going to be a session filled with laughter and love. Randi’s bright energy and AL’s enthusiasm were contagious — a perfect match for the awe-inspiring landscapes of Garden of the Gods.

Garden of the Gods: A Perfect Setting for Dog Photography

Few places capture Colorado’s spirit like Garden of the Gods. With its soaring red rock formations, desert wildflowers, and panoramic mountain views, it’s one of my favorite locations for dog photography in Colorado Springs.

Randi and AL explored the park’s winding trails and open vistas as I followed with my camera, letting the moments unfold naturally. The warm evening light glowed on the rocks, adding a golden touch that made every photo feel alive.

Capturing Candid Joy and Genuine Connection

The best photos often happen in between the poses — a wagging tail, a shared laugh, a playful glance. With Randi and AL, these moments flowed effortlessly. AL’s boundless excitement and Randi’s joyful energy created images full of warmth and authenticity.

As a Colorado Springs photographer, my goal is always to make sessions relaxed and real. When both people and pets are free to be themselves, the photos naturally reflect their personalities and the depth of their bond. You can see more of these heartfelt stories on my Blog.

Sharing Their Adventure

Randi wanted to share these memories with friends, family, and fellow dog lovers — a beautiful reminder that photography is about connection. You can see highlights from this session on my Instagram or visit my website to explore other adventures and stories.
