Consultation
Once you’ve explored my portfolio and decided we’re a good match, feel free to reach out via phone or email—whichever you prefer! During our initial chat, we’ll get to know each other and determine which photography package best fits your vision.
Note: A $50 non-refundable booking fee is required to reserve your session date. To ensure your commitment to the session.
Before the shoot
Next, we’ll get you on the calendar! For outdoor sessions, the "Golden Hours" offer the best natural light:
Mornings: 6:00 AM – 10:00 AM
Late Afternoons: 3:00 PM – 8:00 PM
We will also discuss locations that align with your style. Depending on your chosen package, we can explore multiple spots and include various outfit changes.
Day of the Shoot
Don't stress about your wardrobe—the best photos happen when you feel like yourself!
For Groups: Coordinate colors or themes (like blue jeans and plaid) rather than matching exactly.
Pro Tip: Avoid having just one person in a bright, bold color (like red) while everyone else is in neutrals, as it can distract from the rest of the group.
During our time together, I’ll show you the images as we go. This allows for real-time feedback so I can ensure you love the results. If you have any creative ideas, suggestions, or props you’d like to include, please bring them along!
Final payment is due at the time of the session via cash, card, or check. (If at any point during the shoot you feel we aren’t a good fit, please let me know right away!)
After the Shoot
Within 1–2 days, I will send you a link to your private online gallery.
The Deadline: You will have three weeks to select your favorite images (the total number depends on your package).
If the link expires before you choose, don't worry—I can resend it! This deadline simply helps us stay on schedule.
Once you send me the image numbers you wish to keep, it will take me no longer than two weeks to edit and/or print your selected images.
Once you submit your selections, I will have your final images edited and ready within two weeks.
Digital Delivery: You will receive your edited images via email, along with a photo release.
Full Gallery: If you wish to purchase all images from the session, I can provide a flash drive and release via mail. Pricing is based on your package and session length.
Prints: If you order professional prints through me, they will be shipped directly from the printing lab to your door.
FAQ
Do I have to choose a package before the session? Can I change it after?
Yes. The packages give us a basis of how much time the session will be and how many photos I will take. The time it takes to go to multiple locations or change outfits is the biggest time concern. However, you can change the amount of final images at any time during the choosing process.
What about locations? Do we have to choose the ones provided?
You can choose any location you want for the photo shoot. The list provided is there for examples of the general places I would look for. Trees for shade, and an open space so you wont have any buildings or parking lots for backgrounds. Of course, depending on how far we are traveling there maybe an extra $45 travel fee. Generally, all I ask is notice in advanced so I can plan our time accordingly and don’t waste yours.
Can we choose the time of the photo session?
The time of the photo session is very important to get the best looking outcome. Photographing an hour to an hour and a half before the sunset creates the best look for any photo in sunny Colorado. Although, I understand if kids bedtimes are involved, the closer we can get to that time the better. There are definitely ways to photograph earlier however we will have to play around with finding shady spots to photograph in which may be a little restrictive. Having any photoshoot between 10-2 is a recipe for harsh shadows and squinty eyes.
Is there a sitting fee?
No there is not. However, there is a $50 booking fee for any session that is scheduled. That fee does go towards the cost of the package you select. This is to ensure that you will arrive for the photo session and if not, that my time and gas is covered for traveling and waiting. If you need to cancel, please give me at least a days notice or at the latest the morning of the shoot. Otherwise, the $50 booking fee will not be refundable.
Is a print release included with the photos?
Print releases are included for the number of images listed in the packages. There is an additional cost if you want a release of all of the images from the session. Your final email will come with high resolution versions of those photos along with the release form. If all images are selected, then a USB drive will be given and sent to the address you give me.
Do we have to print through you?
No you do not. Although it helps me out, if you do want to use another company or business you are more than welcome to.
Although the prints you receive through me are high quality, correctly cropped for certain sizes, and color corrected. Any images you print through another company I am not responsible for any incorrect coloring, cropping, or distortion.
