Honored to offer this very special session and join you during this unforgettable time! Thrilled to see humans again, properly social distanced, in our beautiful city, or surrounded by mountain views. It all makes my heart happy to be a photographer in Denver. Thank you for choosing to celebrate your family during this unprecedented time with a celebratory photo session!

Your complimentary mini session includes a half hour outdoor session with three digital images

FAQ about the Session Offering

I have no idea what to wear. Ideas?

I have all the wardrobe ideas, if you’d like to be paired with a stylist to curate an outfit just for you, I’d be honored to connect you! I prefer texture (lace, velvet, etc.) and bold colors with limited prints, logos, brand names, etc. for a more on-trend style. I adore long dresses as they offer such flow and sense of whimsy and drama in your images. I typically advocate that outfits complement each other with variety in color and style as opposed to matching perfectly in the same color polo or t-shirt. I love boho hats on women. I recently entered a photo contest and I think I voted for every photo where mom wore a gorgeous dress and an awesome hat. See my favorite dress vendors here.

I feel like 30 minutes will go super fast, I’d prefer to book an hour session instead of just 30 minutes, may I add more time?

Of course! Mini sessions FLY BY!!!! Thirty minutes may be added to your session to allow for more variety in your images and flex if we have a melt down! You may reserve an hour for $125 at booking, $150 if added after our date is set.

Is there an option to purchase a collection with additional time and images prior to the session?

You’re welcome to upgrade your complimentary session to a full hour and may procure a discounted full hour collection with 10 images for 295+tax. This is a huge discount from my typical session offerings which land around $450. This option includes a link to your initial collection of images to select your 10 photos.

May I add more images to my complimentary collection after the session?

Additional images may be purchased at your viewing appointment after your session for 95 each, 5/275.

Should I bring anything to the session?

I welcome solid color blankets to sit on and suggest giving consideration to outfit selection and color cohesion. I keep seeing this really cute trend of making a blanket into a huge part of the session as a hammock swing, as a prop to engage the kiddos by tossing it in the air. Perhaps a stack of books to read, favorite toys, anything personalized or photogenic, accessories like hats, sunglasses for the littles or stuffed animals used for milestone sessions.

What location do you suggest for the session?

Thirty minute sessions offers one of three locations: Cheeseman Park, Washington Park, Cherry Creek North. Hour sessions offer these locations in addition to McCabe in Parker, Mount Falcon in Indian Hills, Boulder area locations offer a $35 travel fee, additional Denver locations available for hour sessions. See photos of my favorite locations here.

Any advice for working with toddlers and children?

With social distancing measures in full effect, I will maintain more six feet from your crew. This means I can’t get close to your littles, tickle them or have them give me all the high fives to earn their trust. More than ever, it’s on parents to make the session enjoyable for the whole crew. Above all - HAVE FUN. Focus on the kids instead of smiling at the camera. My clients typically choose images from their sessions where they are interacting with their little ones and everyone is smiling and laughing. Cultivating real moments and smiles and aiming for candid, playful moments in your session is key. Having a plan of how to interact with them (game, ball, anything else they love or you do at home) while going with the flow and letting the them a lead a little. I’m alllll about getting smiles on everyone’s faces piled up on a blanket together or running around chasing each other. I’ve had a few clients experiment with arriving early and allowing the kiddos time and space to run around and explore the location for a solid 15 or so before the session time just to get them used to the location before diving in. 

Please note that reschedules will not be accommodated. If our originally booked date no longer aligns, the offer is forfeited.

All the love!
