Colorado is one of the most incredible locations! Whether you're a native here or you're planning a trip to see the area, you can appreciate the beautiful terrain! Imagine your children climbing red rock formations, running through magical wispy grass and wildflowers in the summer, or even taking in the breathtaking view of the mountains in the distance. There are so many incredible photo opportunities throughout the state of Colorado! Whether your family chooses red rocks, wildflowers, or mountain views, you know that your session will be full of fun, laughter and a ton of adventure! 

As a family photographer, families have trusted me to capture their unique stories for over the past decade. Families love my natural and candid approach to get photos full of laughter and their family's sweet moments. During your session I guide you through the entire session. Your children may be asked to run towards me, run around you, 'get you' with tickles, kisses or hugs. You may be asked to cuddle in or to walk in a certain direction. You will receive guidance in every aspect of the session!

Be pampered with your Colorado family session experience! From access to beautiful dresses in my client closet to prep material and location help, be taken care of every step of the process! Your family session has never felt so easy!

My favorite locations in Colorado include views of Pikes Peak, Garden of the Gods, Breckenridge, Estes Park and so many more incredible locations.

The process: WHat to expect

before your session

After your session

during your session

Your session will be centered around your children and their unique personalities! I'll encourage play, cuddling and exploration throughout the session. Don't worry if your child doesn't do exactly as told! I'll be there to redirect them to another task that may suit their personality better. No child is alike, so it's important to follow their lead to best capture their personality!

After booking your session, you'll receive emails to help prepare you for our session together. You'll choose a breathtaking location from my photo location guide, or a spot you've hand picked and I've been able to scout. I provide you with styling help along with exclusive access to my client closet. 


Within four weeks you'll receive your photos on a beautiful slideshow to music! I encourage you to gather your family and look through these photos together. It's a great opportunity for a little family time! After you receive your slideshow you'll be able to select which Print + Digital Collection you would like to select. Your gallery will have access to my professional printing company. Full print rights are granted for the digital images you've select in your Print + Digital Collection. Additional digitals can be purchased with your print credit as well!

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time of year in Colorado for family photos?

What should we wear at our session?

When will we receive our photos?

Most families try to book their session for the Fall. I personally feel that July and August are the most beautiful times for a session in Colorado! 

As a client of mine you'll receive exclusive access to my client closet if you choose to use it. I am a huge fan of long dresses that flow for moms!  They're super easy to add movement within a photo. Babies and toddlers I typically suggest a romper to prevent bunching of a dress when they're being held. Boys and men I say to stay away from polos if possible to prevent the collar from flipping up.

Photos are delivered within 3-4 weeks from your session date. Gallery deliveries vary based on the season you choose your session to be in.
