Majority are held at parks, natural areas, opens spaces and trailheads. In-home and travel sessions are available with rates and restrictions.

What time of day are your sessions held? Photoshoots are scheduled and held within 1 hour before sunset anticipating good weather allowing for wardrobe changes or breaks for little ones. If the weather is overcast we will plan a few hours prior to the original time scheduled. Specializing in natural light allows us to work in almost all lighting conditions in daylight hours. Depending on your sessions circumstances I will recommend the best time to shoot for optimal lighting, however most sessions are held in the last 90 minutes before sunset. I am always open to time suggestions as any time of day will work. Morning sessions are an options depending on location, please inquire about a morning time if this suits you better.

Once we have you all booked up with a date on the calendar I will prep you with all the relevant tips and tricks for styling your session specific to the season, location and focus. You will be provided links to shop online stores I personally recommend and given access to my client closet. I do not recommend clients to solely rely on my client closet as some dresses may not fit the vision you might have. Having a backup option of your own is necessary in case something does not fit or look as you wish come the session time. Client closet options are for moms and kids 5 and under, I do not have a large selection but am happy to provide what I can.

Do you encourage wardrobe changes? Absolutely! Options are always great to have and you are welcome to bring along one outfit change given you will need to change in your vehicle as most/all locations will not have a public restroom or changing area.

Proof Galleries - when applicable - are ready for viewing and image selection after one full week (7 business days). Final Galleries for both mini and full sessions are delivered within two-four full business weeks after your scheduled session. All images are delivered in Color with select few in Black and white copies at my discretion.

What happens if it rains or storms? Days prior to your session I will be in touch with you to confirm weather conditions. Colorado is notorious for its fluctuating and unpredictable weather so please always be prepared for the unexpected or to reschedule if necessary. We will work in all weather conditions aside from direct rainfall or snowfall, please be prepared for any and all weather conditions as the main focus is authentic and lifestyle work. Dress appropriately for the weather conditions. Please keep typical season weather in mind when you are choosing your session date.
