1. Experience with Family Sessions

Family photography is a special art. It’s not just about snapping pictures; it’s about capturing the essence of your family’s unique bond. Look for a Colorado family photographer who has experience working with families. They’ll know how to interact with kids, get genuine smiles, and manage the beautiful chaos that is a family photo shoot.

As someone who shoots family portraits extensively and has young kids myself, I understand the joys and challenges of photographing little ones and can relate to the dynamics of family life.

2. Style and Vision

Every Colorado family photographer has their own style. Do you love candid, in-the-moment shots? Or are you drawn to beautifully posed portraits? Some photographers light to edit their photos more light and airy while others like to edit their photos dark and moody with high contrast. Some photographers edit their photos using more true to life colors while others may like to make photos more vibrant. Think about what style feels right for your family.

Personally, I love to do a mix of both candid and traditional portraits, capturing those playful, spontaneous moments along with the classic posed shots. My editing style strikes a balance between light and airy and dark and moody, bringing out the natural beauty of each moment.

3. Personality and Connection

A great photo session happens when everyone feels comfortable and at ease. That’s why it’s so important to find a photographer who clicks with your family. You want someone who’s patient, friendly, and makes the whole process fun.

I pride myself on creating a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere during our sessions. Having young kids of my own, I know how to engage them and keep things light and fun, which helps in capturing those genuine, joyful moments.
