So Much to Think About.

So Little Time.

That’s Where I come In.

I started as many photographers do, with quick sessions and on-line galleries.  But as I fielded questions from clients trying to understand lab printing policies, and even learned that some got busy and tired and never got further than posting on-line, I recognized a need for something more.

 Which led to the done-for-you, consultative, all-about-the-experience approach that we’re so proud of today.

A few things near and dear to my heart are anything chocolate, books, traveling, chick flicks, God, & family.  Although not in that order.  I love learning new things, and I especially love photographing people.  See below for a few personal details, or click to talk!

Bits & Pieces

It can be intimidating to trust someone with taking your picture, so I’ll go first. I’ll trust you with some things about me. No judgment zone, right??

Confessions of a Movie-aholic

I like chic flicks. Like, really like them. I also cry easily, and alas… not a pretty crier

Books, Marvelous Books!

I love, love, love to read.  I even love the smell of books.  My favorite genres are historical fiction, and lately I’ve been rediscovering some Young Adult favorites as I learn to read in Spanish.

Nerd Alert

I’m a game nerd. Total sucker for a good game night. If you need an extra, call me, I’m in!

Par for the Course

I was an avid golfer until my first son was born. Now I’m an average golfer, but I still love it.

Habla español?

If so, let’s chat!  I’m learning, and I love it.  I also love the friends that have been so great about helping me out (and not laughing at my many errors!)

Your Turn!

Okay, now you know some of my embarrassing secrets… your turn! Click below to drop me a note. Let me know something about you, and if there’s any way I can help you in your photography journey!

I Work With You To Bring Your Session to Life, Stress Free.

I love to create images that reflect true emotions and connections between family members, and also fit beautifully in your home so you can enjoy them, Every. Single. Day.  

I also want to create an experience for you and your family that feels easy, comfortable, and relaxing, so every time you look at your images, they are connected with beautiful memories of bonding with your family.

newborns

With newborns & babies, my goal is to show them as naturally as possible and highlight who they are. I love clean, classic, timeless looks for newborns. Not too much pageantry, but lots of layers and texture, with your new baby as the focal point of her images, and your connection with her the subject of your family images.

babies

Babies are explorers by nature, and for milestone sessions I like to let them explore their environment and capture images that will really remind you of what they were up to at this particular stage. That includes their smiles, of course, and other expressions that come naturally to them as they check out their world.

families

For families, I have one focus, and it’s having fun and enjoying each other.  I have lots of tricks up my sleeve to make our session more like a full-family play date.  When we’re finished, you should feel like you just got to hang out and play and enjoy your family.  Oh, and added bonus; you’ll have some beautiful images to remember the day.

happy clients

AMAZING newborn pictures! She’s a baby whisperer, and made the whole experience so enjoyable. The pictures are something I treasure. If you’re on the fence and not sure if you should do it or not, DO IT. Beautiful pictures of your children are priceless. It’s worth EVERY PENNY to have them done. Colleen is amazingly talented!”  – Lynne

Colleen was AMAZING with my newborn girl. She was patient and knew exactly what to do to calm her down. I enjoyed every minute of the newborn session and highly recommend her!

She made us all feel comfortable warm and relaxed. She kept us laughing and the kids engaged, which is hard when there are 5 of them. The pictures turned out beautiful and better than I could imagine.
