Sometimes it’s difficult to stop looking into the future to the version of yourself you strive to be. You oftentimes criticize ourselves instead of admiring all that we’ve gone through to become who we are today. We’ve all had our trials in life that shape us into who we are. It’s important to enjoy the present, because soon this chapter will pass us by too.

Here is why finding a photographer with a client closet will make your session so much easier ⬇️

Because finding outfits for the whole family shouldn’t be the hardest part of getting your photos taken.

No panic-shopping, no wondering if everyone’s outfits will coordinate, and no buying dresses you’ll only wear once. No hesitation on if your dress will photograph well. Just beautiful pieces chosen to photograph effortlessly together, so you can spend less time stressing over what to wear and more time being present with your family.

I have so many dresses in my client closet to choose from designed by one of my favorite designers, ready for you to borrow for your session.

Consider this your sign to make family photos a little easier (and a lot more fun). These client closet dresses truly make your photos look Pinterest worthy!

What is a wedding details box?

A details box on a wedding day is a container you put together for your photographer with all the special things you want photographed on the day.

How does a details box help?

Instead of your photographer looking for each item individually, they’re all in one place. It’s much easier to grab the box and start shooting.

Items to put in your details box:

1. A note to your photographer with a checklist of the items in the box that you’d love documented
2. Full invitation suite
3. Rings + Ring box
4. Personal vow books
5. Family or personal bible of its being read out of during the ceremony
6. Perfume + Cologne used on the day
7. Ribbon + Loose Florals
8. Jewelry + Details from both partners
9. Special gifts to one another
10. Something new, something borrowed, something blue

These are just some of the ideas you can put in your wedding details box to your photographer.

Happy planning 🤍

One of the questions I get asked most is how I choose session locations, so today I’m going to tell you!

I’m looking for places that are:

-Open spaces
-Semi-private so clients feel comfortable
-Feel like Colorado (mountains, fields, rocks, and beautiful views)

Bonus: Easy kid friendly hikes

The location matters a ton when it comes to the overall outcome of the photos.

Open spaces not only give room for the fun playful shots, but it also gives a beautiful dreamy look to photos.

Photos turn out amazing when families feel comfortable and not spending the entire session worrying stared at the entire time.

The location actually feeling like Colorado is one of the most important things for my business. We get so many people from out of state who schedule family photos with the dream of Colorado scenery in the background. If you’re a photographer, choosing locations that feel like your area will bring more clientele opportunities!

What are some things you want when you’re looking for the perfect location for photos?

About 14 years as a photographer, 12 years as a wedding photographer. I’ve photographed all over Oregon, Wyoming, Washington and now Colorado. This life has moved me around a lot, but I love how many areas we’ve been able to live and enjoy along the journey! 🥰 Colorado is our forever home now 🙌🏼🏔️

As a mom you hardly get to be apart of your families digital memories. It’s so important to give someone a camera once in a while to be apart of your children’s memories. Hug on them. Love on them. Document every moment along side them. You’re an important part of their life too. ❤️
