A: The ideal time for senior portraits in Colorado is during the spring (April to June) and fall (September to October) when the weather is mild and the natural lighting is soft and flattering. Booking 4 to 8 weeks in advance gives us time to plan for the best dates and allows for outfit and location prep. Early morning or late afternoon sessions—during “golden hour”—provide warm, natural light that makes your photos truly stand out.

Colorado offers incredible backdrops for portraits! Popular locations near Denver include the urban charm of RiNo Arts District, the natural beauty of Chautauqua Park and the Flatirons in Boulder, the dramatic vistas of Red Rocks Amphitheatre, and scenic spots like Standley Lake or Millennium Bridge downtown. I’m happy to help you pick a location that matches your style, whether you want a rustic mountain feel or an edgy city vibe.

Absolutely! Bringing a parent, sibling, or friend can make your session more fun and relaxed. Usually, the focus stays on you, but I’m happy to capture a few group shots if you want. Just let me know ahead of time so I can plan for extra time or poses.

he number of outfit changes depends on the package you choose:

• Basic Package (1 hour): Typically 1-2 outfits

• Deluxe Package (1.5 hours): Up to 2-4 outfits

• Premium Package (2 hours): 5 or more outfits with time for location changes Bringing layers, accessories, or quick changes can add variety and personality to your photos without needing a full outfit swap every time.

While all sessions include digital downloads with full printing rights, I highly recommend printing your favorite images! Physical prints, albums, and wall art turn your photos into lasting memories you can enjoy daily. Each package includes a print credit ($50, $75, or $100 depending on the package) that you can apply toward professional-quality prints or products through my trusted lab. The print credit is valid for 12 months from your session date.

Each package includes a pre-session planning consultation, a professional photo shoot (duration varies by package), all edited high-resolution images delivered via online gallery, and a print release. Plus, you get a print credit to use toward prints or products. Packages range from 1 hour (Basic) up to 2 hours (Premium) with increasing session length, outfit changes, and location options.

Definitely! My Premium Package is perfect for this—it includes 2 hours of shoot time, allowing you to capture both urban and natural mountain settings in one session. Whether you want bold city portraits followed by scenic mountain views or vice versa, I’ll help coordinate the timing and logistics to maximize your session.
