Family sessions with me are relaxed, a little silly, and totally focused on your crew. You won’t hear me shouting orders or forcing poses. Instead, I create space for your family to just be yourselves. The best photos always come from real connection.
Family life is wild, beautiful, and totally unpredictable, and your photos should reflect that. With two young children of my own, I know how to find those in-between moments that feel the most real. I’m here to capture the hugs, the chaos, the belly laughs, and the quiet moments you’ll want to remember 10, 20, 50 years from now. And, yes, even the meltdown mid-session might become your favorite photo.
This isn’t about stiff poses or saying “cheese.” It’s about telling your family’s story as it is right now.
As a family photographer based in Fort Collins, I know all the best spots, from open foothills and hidden neighborhood parks to the dramatic alpine peaks of Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park. Your session could be in your own backyard, along a shaded river trail, or at a mountain lodge surrounded by pine trees. I’ll guide you just enough to keep things flowing. But mostly? I let your family lead the way.
Whether your toddler’s sprinting across the field or your teenager’s giving you side-eye, or your extended family is gathering for a milestone reunion in the Rockies, I will be right there capturing the genuine connection and all the fun.
