Here are a few of my favorite locations:
Fly N B Park (c470/Lucent area) - open field, tall grass, trails, lake, mountain view, footbridge, lots of tall trees/shade options - this is one of my very favorite spots because of the large variety in a small area

Highlands Ranch mansion (Broadway/HR Parkway area) - beautiful stone, lots of pillars and steps, open fields, great views of mountains, trails, small barn, brick house
South Valley Park (c470/Ken Caryl area) - great views of foothills and red rock formations, lake, trails - perfect when there's no leaves on trees anyway

Daniels Park (Castle Pines) - great views, but fences everywhere - you have to be ok with some fences in the photos, and/or breaking some rules and jumping fences in one or two places ;)
