I believe that your family session should be full of fun so your children can leave the session looking forward to your next one. Family sessions are never a one size fits all. Along the planning process I'll be learning about your children and what makes them happy. If your little one isn't happy during the session then your photos will show it. My goal is for your whole family to feel comfortable in front of my camera. Whether your child is mellow and sweet or wild and free, I know exactly how to photograph your child's unique personality.
Choose from over 100 items in my client closet ranging from newborn sizes all the way to XXL. Borrowing from my client closet is completely complimentary to all my full session clients! Not sure what looks good together? Or, not sure if something will photograph well? I'm here to help you find the right outfits for you and your family!
"She had helpful tools to help us pull together complimentary outfits. Highlight for me was getting to borrow a gorgeous dress from her client closet ... She had a pop up tent ready to go that made changing easy."
-Mandy (2024)

REVIEWS
"We had such a great experience with Brandi! She is SO great working with kids and families. She allowed us to have fun, play, and worked around whatever moods our kids were in (one was a little cranky and the other was feeling hyper). She made us feel so at ease! We love how our photos turned out and plan to book Brandi again in the future!"
-Alli
"As first time parents, we wanted a photographer who could capture some priceless moments during the pregnancy. Thankfully, I found Brandi on Instagram! Her style of photography immediately resonated with me, and she soon had us scheduled for a maternity shoot.
Brandi was amazing to work with from start to finish. She was kind, patient, and, most of all, talented! Her professionalism and experience made our day nearly effortless. From instructing us in our poses to finding the perfect lighting and background, Brandi made the session fun and productive.
When we received our gallery, we were blown away by the quality of each picture. She captured the day just as we had hoped, and we are forever grateful for the beautiful pictures of this special time in our life."
-Hannah
"I’m so glad we chose Brandi for our family photos. We had such a good time! Booking was easy, she helped style us, and we had fun playing with our baby in a beautiful location. Also, I have to add, I borrowed a dress from the client closet and Brandi showed up with the dress, back up dresses, and a tent to change in. All around a great experience!"

Something I often heard from my clients was that they never got around to printing their photos from their session. For years their photo were sitting waiting to be seen and diplayed. I realized that I wasn't serving my clients in the way they needed to be served. Because of this, every collection comes with at least a small amount of print credit with their session. Print credit is used through my professional printing company within your gallery page.
Between 3-4 weeks you'll see all your beautiful images of all the memories we created together! All these photos will be given to you through a slideshow. You'll have slideshow access for 24 hours after you first view the gallery. Once the 24 hours are up, you will have a good idea which collection is best for you and your family. You'll be prompted to choose one of the collections to add on to your session below.

I'm based out of Woodland Park, Colorado! In February 2023 we moved from the PNW to beautiful Colorado. It's been one of the best moves! While I'm located in Woodland Park, I also photograph families from Colorado Springs and surrounding areas!
I love to travel! Let me know where and when and I can let you know an estimate on what it'll cost. Investment will be cost of your session plus travel and lodging for one night.
The best time to book is early Spring through fall. Most people try to book fall sessions, but my personal favorite is Spring for faster delivery times and to beat the holiday rush!
No, I don't deliver every image from your session. During a family session I typically take about 600 photos. This has a combination of blurred photos due to the movement involved in my sessions to photos with family members blinking. I typically deliver anywhere between 30-60 images from a session.
I don't give my clients RAW images from their session. RAW images are a file type that most people don't have the ability to view on their computer. RAW images are dull, flat and meant to be edited.
I love Pinterest too! While Pinterest is a great place to gather inspiration for overall feel and mood for your session, I don't recreate images from Pinterest. Feel free to send me an inspiration Pinterest board so I can get an overall feel for your ideal session.
I usually look at the weather the night before to decide whether or not it's suitable to shoot in. In the case of bad weather rescheduling is not a problem at all.
If you need to cancel your session unfortunately the reservation retainer is non-refundable. Any additional funds will be refunded to you if you're canceling within two weeks of your session. In the case of an emergency, your retainer can be applied to your next session to take place within a year from the date of cancelation.
I open my books about three months in advance. I typically book up two months in advance.
Included edits are color adjustments, exposure adjustments and anything in the "two week rule". The two week rule is anything that would be gone in two weeks I edit out. Example: blemishes, scrapes, bruises, etc.
The best time to take photos is either sunrise or 60 minutes before sunset.
