Portrait photographer in Colorado Springs
I specialize in solo portraits, one person at a time, and it's the thing I'm best at. Couples are fine. Elopements are my second favorite.
Open five portrait photographers' websites in five tabs. Every one promises to "capture the real you." Close the tabs and try to remember which was which. You can't.
How a session works
We talk first, and the camera comes later

We talk
Before I pick up a camera, we talk about what you want the photos to do. What do you want captured, and how? Are these for your walls, your feeds, a big print over the couch, or all three?

We plan it together
Then we choose the location, the time of day and the outfits. A trail at sunrise and a living room at four in the afternoon are very different sessions. You pick the one that fits the job.

You get all of my attention
A solo session has nobody to herd. No one is checking a phone, nobody's pose is fighting yours, and nobody is mid-sneeze at the back of the frame.

Your photos arrive
25 edited photos, 2 to 3 weeks after your shoot, for personal use, social media and prints. A solo mini comes with 10.
The best frame usually arrives a few minutes after you loosen up. My job is to still be paying attention when it does.
Where we shoot
Anywhere the photos make sense
I'm based in Colorado Springs and I work across the Mountain West. If you're covering travel, I'll go anywhere in the world.
Where we shoot depends on what the pictures are for, and we settle that in the planning conversation. To get ahead of it, check the forecast and light for your day and see what to wear.

Questions
What people ask before booking
How long is a solo session?
About an hour for the standard session and about two hours for the extended one.
What should I wear?
We decide together, once we know what the photos are for and where we're shooting.
Do you photograph families or groups?
Not as a rule. Solo portraits are my specialty and couples are fine. I'm happy to point you to someone who loves family sessions.
Do you travel?
Yes, anywhere in the world, as long as travel is covered.
How many photos do I get, and how soon?
A full session comes with 25 edited photos, and a solo mini comes with 10. Expect them 2 to 3 weeks after your session.
What can I use the photos for?
Personal use, social media and prints. Commercial use isn't included.
What is the model release discount?
Sign a model release when you book and $250 comes off your session. It's all or nothing: the release covers every edited photo from your session, and I decide which ones I use. Your name is never published, and once you sign, it's final.
