Frequently Asked Questions:
Boulder Family Photography

  • I’m a Boulder-based family photographer specializing in lifestyle, documentary-style family sessions that focus on connection over stiff posing.

  • Most sessions take place in Boulder, Louisville, and nearby mountain locations with views of the flatirons.

  • My sessions are relaxed with a mix of poses and candid moments. I guide when needed, but I focus on real moments, movement, and interaction instead of everyone looking at the camera.

  • My Boulder family sessions start at $750 and include a guided session, styling help, and a curated gallery of finished images. More info on pricing can be found here.

  • That’s completely normal. I work with kids of all ages and build sessions around play and connection, not perfect behavior.

Growing Gardens Harvest Festival | Boulder Nonprofit Photographer

I had the joy of photographing Growing Gardens' Harvest Festival, where kids dug in the dirt, goats soaked up the love, and families learned about beekeeping, gardening, and sustainability. With live music, cornhole, and plenty of twirling in the sunshine, it was a perfect celebration of community and urban farming. Check out the gallery and relive the fun—minus the dirt in your shoes!
