Newborn Session

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!

Our experience was wonderful!  Colleen was so easy to get along with and flexible with our family.

Newborn Session

Colleen communicated with us throughout the process and made us very comfortable. She asked great questions before the day of our photo shoot to determine what we liked and any ideas we had. It was amazing to see her working with our infant who responded to her so well. We got amazing photos and would highly recommend her to others seeking a photographer. Thanks Colleen!

De las mejores fotografías de nuestras vidas. No solo el resultado fue fabuloso, sino también la experiencia… ella y su equipo lograron con juegos y técnicas mantenernos atentos, distraer a la pequeña, que coincidiéramos en sonrisas auténticas. Además que el servicio incluía maquillaje hermoso, toda la experiencia fue A+ Gracias Colleen ❤️ Super recomendada!

Gema C.

Family Session

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.

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!

Extended Family Session

We have recently just completed our 2nd photo session with Hight Photography. The pictures truly brought out the personalities of all photographed. We’ve really enjoyed our family portrait hanging on our living room wall, as well as the boxed photo-folio and digital access to so many wonderful photos. Colleen is very professional and yet great fun!

You made my family feel so comfortable and at ease.  And I love the finished images!

Colleen Hight Photography is amazing! I have given her many challenges throughout the years (newborn sessions, photographing five boys ages four and under, etc) and she always rises to the challenge. She does such a great job making kids feel comfortable and therefore capturing their true personalities.

Frequently Asked Questions

About Senior Sessions

What’s included in the session fee?

Your session fee covers everything it takes to create your portraits — photographer’s time, talent, creative direction, and the full luxury experience from planning to artwork design. It includes your session itself, a personal design appointment to review and choose your favorites, and all the behind-the-scenes magic that turns a good photo into a “wow, that’s me!” portrait. It also includes a credit you can apply to your artwork purchases.  (Artwork and digital files are purchased separately so you only invest in what you truly love.)

Do you offer both digital files and printed artwork?

Sure do. Every image purchased includes both printed artwork and a matching high-resolution digital file. Your family’s story deserves to live on your walls, not just your phone — but I also know we all want to post them for our friends & family asap. So you’ll receive both beautiful printed pieces, and coordinating digital files.

What should we wear? Do you help with wardrobe styling?

Absolutely.  Part of our in-home design consultation is selecting and planning your outfits so they coordinate, look great on camera, and fit the design of your session. 

Do you offer guidance on hair & makeup styling?

I do better than that… every session includes professional styling.  Over time I realized most of us don’t know how to style ourselves to look great on camera, and professional styling makes certain you look like the absolute best version of yourself.  For guys, this means professional grooming to make sure their hair (head, facial, and otherwise!) is behaving the way they want, and for women it means professional styling of their hair and makeup.  Our stylist works with you to make sure you’re on the same page with how YOU want to see yourself.

Can I invite others to join my session?

Yes, please! One of my favorite questions is: is there anyone else you’d like to share this experience with?  Once you’re getting dressed and done up, you might as well get as much milage as possible out of the time invested.  I’m happy to include important people (or pets!) in your life that you’d like to have in your portraits. 

How should I prepare for my session?

Once you book, I’ll guide you through everything — from wardrobe selection to what to bring the day of. My goal is to take the stress out of prep so you can simply show up, relax, and enjoy. 

Will you tell me how to pose, and what's your style of direction?

That’s my job! I’ll guide you through flattering poses that look great on camera — no stiff smiles or awkward angles. I’ll tell you exactly how to sit, stand, tilt your head, and the most common question… what to do with your hands!

Where will our session take place? Do you have a studio, or can we do it outdoors?

I offer sessions in studio and on-location, both indoor and outdoor, depending on what your project calls for.  

When will we see our photos, and how do we choose what to order?

Your ordering appointment will be within a week of your session, and we’ll pick the date at your design consult so you can schedule it in advance.  That’s when you will get to see your portraits for the first time and I’ll walk through how each image could shine as profile pictures, social content, wall art, and more!

What makes your sessions different from other photographers?

I do everything I can to take care of all the details for you.  From wardrobe selection, to detailed posing instructions, to expert guidance on selecting images and artwork.  My sessions are relaxed, guided, and focused on connection — not perfection. You’ll leave with portraits that look like you, that you can be proud to share and show.
