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!
Let’s work together 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.
headshots & branding
For professional headshot sessions & branding sessions, my goal is to capture images that show off your personal brand. You’ll get clear, complete instructions so you don’t have to wonder “where do I put my head, or what do I do with my hands?” And since no one is one-dimensional, we will capture a good variety of different looks, and different moods. Together we will get both posed and candid expressions to give you options for your final selections.
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.
seniors
Senior sessions are a lot like a personal branding session… it’s all about getting great images of you, as you are right now. You’ll be able to highlight pieces of your story, like hobbies, loves, acheivements and more. And just like branding, I’ll tell you exactly what to do so you never have to wonder how to stand or where to look. We will capture a wide variety of different looks and different expressions so we can show all sides of your multi-faceted personality.
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.
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.

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.“
