Services & Pricing
Portrait photographer in Longmont and Boulder, Colorado
Plenty of photographs show what someone looks like. I’m after what it feels like to be with them.
The process is the same no matter where we decide to shoot.
Before the camera comes out, we’ll take a few minutes to settle in and get comfortable with each other. I’ll start with simple direction. As we’re working together, I’ll look for the moments when you’re most yourself.
Headshots and portraits happen in my studio. If the place you work is part of your story, a shop, a kitchen, a stage, a workbench, we shoot there and it becomes part of the photographs.
A private gallery of edited photographs within two weeks, usually less. I’d rather give you the right frames than every frame.
If you have a story, a craft or a world of your own, I’d like to meet you.

Questions
What’s the difference between a headshot and a portrait session?
A headshot is a short, focused session for a few clean photographs of you. People use them where others need to recognize you, such as a website, LinkedIn, a speaker bio or a press feature. A portrait session is longer and looser. We’ll take our time, design the photographs together as we go, change outfits, and photograph you somewhere that matters to you. You leave with a range of photographs that show who you are. People use them on an About page, in press, on social media or on the wall.
What if I don’t like being photographed?
Not everyone does, and that’s fine. You don’t need to know how to pose.
What should I wear?
Whatever you’d put on for a good day and still feel like yourself in. Solid colors tend to photograph well, and big logos distract. If you can’t decide, bring a second option.
What if my child is shy?
That’s what the extra time is for. Kids get a few minutes to settle before I take a single photograph, and the session stays short so no one runs out of patience.
Editorial
I also photograph for local publications, including Inside Longmont. If you’re an editor or reporter who needs a photographer to portray a person or a place as it is, get in touch.
Every session starts with a conversation.
This is where it starts: tell me about you and what the photographs are for.
