We live in Longmont, Colorado and are available to travel all over the Front Range. This includes: Boulder, Lyons, Lafayette, Loveland, Berthoud, Fort Collins, Louisville, Frederick, Denver, Westminister, Lakewood – all the places!

For real, there’s no wrong time. We recommend doing photos often over the years so there isn’t pressure on any one shoot to be the perfect distillation of your lives. And because Colorado is so lovely and seasonal! There’s always something we can do inside or outside throughout the year.

We firmly believe that any holiday cards can have photos from any time, but if you’re looking for that classic holiday look – book your session in October or early November so you have time to have your cards printed.

We want to photograph you at home!!! I cannot stress enough that no matter how in progress your house is, or what you’d like to change about it, or if it could be a little cleaner – your photos will reflect what really matters about your house: that it’s full of love and fun. The whole point of a documentary session is to fix this point in time, as it really is.

If your house is under renovation or something or just isn’t going to work – we can go anywhere outside! Your favorite park or coffee shop, or for a little mountain adventure.

A rental studio only works in certain cases but we’re happy to discuss!

My biggest tip for a photo session is to not buy new clothes! Instead wear something you already love and feel at home in. No matching required, but it should generally look like y’all are somewhat on the same page outfit wise?

It’s common for the kiddos to go through multiple outfits in a session for all the reasons you could guess! We can also dig into their dress up bin!

I know it sounds nuts! But again, it’s not two hours of posing and smiling at the camera. A lot of our clients think of themselves as “only needing one hour” of photos – but we’ve really found that two is the sweet spot. It gives us plenty of time for everyone to get warmed up, for the kids to get used to us, and to really access being your true selves.

If you can’t remember the last time your toddler went two hours without having a meltdown – it’s all good! Almost every session we do features some tears at some point. We can always take a break, and snap a few photos of a little recovery cuddle :)

You know your routine best, so we’re always going to defer to what time of day everyone is relaxed and happiest. For babies and younger kids, this tends to be earlier in the day. For older kids, we love an evening golden light romp around the backyard!

Your mileage may vary! You’re absolutely welcome to invite everyone who makes your family who it is, whether that’s grandparents, your nanny, the neighbor kids, whoever!

Just carefully consider the dynamics and personalities at play, and to be so for real – whether you’ll be able to relax and be yourself around your own parents!!

We recommend having your first session be just your core household, and bringing in extended family for subsequent sessions.

Birthday parties, absolutely!! We are primarily wedding photographers after all, and we love to really get into an event and document the spirit of what’s going on.

For extended family sessions, sometimes! These sessions can often look like a lot of switching out people and everyone doing the same pose. If you have family visiting and want to get some great photos of everyone together, we recommend planning it around an activity – like a backyard bbq or picnic at a park. We can do plenty of staged photos, but we want to create the circumstances for lots of candids too!
