Denver Family Photographers

There are some really talented Denver family photographers out there so let me help you narrow down the field a little by telling you what I love about photographing families, and how I approach my shoots. 

As a professional family photographer with more than 20 years experience, I have to be honest. I get bored quickly with traditional family photo shoots. I always have. In fact, I can confidently say that the less formal and stiff a photo shoot is, the better it will be. So, while I may coach and lightly direct my families when we’re doing a shoot, I also love to sort of play it loose, let go of the reins, and see what happens. Why is that? Because I love catching moments. Honest ones. Authentic ones. Catching little pieces of time with my camera that tell an expansive story… a story that sometimes the subjects of are not entirely aware of or have somehow forgotten about amidst all of the hubbub of day-to-day life. So, while not all Denver family photographers are going to be as loose and candid as I like to be, I think you can see from my work that there’s a great mix of more typical family images mixed with those that are looser, more candid, and documentary.

5 Things to Consider Before You Book Your Denver Family Photographer

When scouring the web for the best Denver family photographers, there are several key factors I encourage you to consider before you book:

1. Experience & Style – Every photographer has a unique style, from classic and posed  (not me) to candid, documentary and lifestyle-oriented (me, me, me!!!). Look through their online portfolios to find a style that resonates with your family’s taste and style.
2. Personality & Connection –Since family photography sessions involve working closely together, finding a photographer who makes your family feel at ease is essential. It’s important for the chemistry to be right with your photographer.
3. Location Expertise – If you’re wanting a shoot on location, a great family photographer will know the best spots around the city for stunning backdrops, accessible parking, as well as the best time of day light-wise. Don’t hesitate to ask your photographer questions related to location and time of day.
4. Reviews – Check out testimonials and reviews to ensure the photographer you select has a reputation for making families feel comfortable and delivering exceptional images.
5. Package Options – Consider what’s included in their packages, from digital downloads to custom prints and albums.
