FAQ ABOUT MINI SESSIONS

What is a Mini Session?
A mini session is a shortened version of our regular family portrait photography session, without all the bells and whistles. Basically it allows us to get a few great family shots of your entire clan and then spend a little time getting breakout shots of just the kids, a few individual shots and perhaps a few candids. It is ideal for families who simply want some updated family shots for their holiday cards, Facebook, or frames. It is not ideal for those seeking lots of great candids or the in-between-the-moment shots, those who want outfit changes or a wide range of background looks. With mini sessions, there simply is not enough time to capture a great deal of emotional images inside of 30 minutes – you really need a full hour plus for that. Mini sessions move quickly so it’s imperative you arrive a few minutes early (5-10) so that you and your family are ready to go.

What is the max number of people we can have for a Mini Session?
You can have up to 5 people max. Pets are allowed during the sessions, however, we may lose time trying to get them to pose with the family. If you have 6 or more people, we would love to book you for our regular portrait sessions, which are an hour or more.

How much is a mini session?
Fall mini sessions cost $85 and include an 8x10 print of your choice.

How do I book our spot?
All sessions are booked first come, first serve. Please select your desired date and time from 
this website. We will send you a contract within 24 hours and take a $85 non-refundable retainer to hold your spot.

Do we get all of the images on a disc from our session included?
No.  Web sized files, with logos on them, are available once you've placed an order of $50 or more.  Files will be emailed to you.  Individual fully edited, full resolution files, with the ability to print from can be purchased individually for $50 each.  Or the entire disk of fully edited files can be purchased for $500.

What do you mean when you say “edited images to choose from”?
That means we cull all of your photos for the best of the best, then we color correct them, punch and pop them, crop if need be and prepare them for presentation. It does not mean that we do tummy tucks, chin reductions, wrinkle removing or other major edits. We are happy to do this type of editing for you; the rate for extensive editing is $60/hour. Most images take approx 10-15 minutes each for basic wrinkle removing/skin softening/eye enhancing and a little longer for digital plastic surgeries, but we will prorate the editing amount for you. (ie., if you have us edit 1 image and its takes 15 minutes, the cost is $15 for that image.)

I have more questions. How should I reach you?
Just email me here and I’ll be happy to answer your questions as quickly as possible.

Highlands Ranch Family Photographer | DeKoevend Park | Family

Avinash and his family live on my street! I met them at our neighborhood fourth of July party.  When we setup the session we decided to start out at their house, which was great because little Avinash was very shy at first but he had his warm up period in his own surroundings, which helps a lot.  We started with a little reading with dad then headed out for the park.








I love this little mischievous smile.

Highlands Ranch Family Photographer | Silo Park | Family


I love summer and especially summer photo sessions.  This sweet little one is Fischer and he's adorable - it took us a bit of work to get him to smile but it was totally worth it! Love these!  These were taken at Silo Park in Greenwood Village, CO - one of my absolute favorite locations for photoshoots.

DTC Wedding Photographer, The Preserve - Greenwood Village | Hilton Doubletree Denver Tech Center Wedding | Alexiss & Jeremy

Alexiss & Jeremy were married at a gorgeous private residence in the Preserve neighborhood in Greenwood Village, CO.  I love that they included Claire, Jeremy's 3 year old daughter in the ceremony by giving her a ring.  They picked ivory and pink with a hint of bling for their wedding colors.   This wedding was one of my favorites this year! It was so much fun to work with Alexiss and Jeremy and I wish them the best!


Don't forget to sign up to see all the photos, they'll be released at the end of this week!!! http://pictage.com/1215562



At the rehearsal dinner all the kiddos got to swim and play









They did a smudging during their ceremony - led by Alexiss's grandfather. A smudging is a Native American tradition and it
is done to purify the body mentally, spiritually, physically and emotionally using either sage or sweet 
grass. As the smoke rises into the heavens it carries our prayers and well wishes to the Creator and into the universe.

The reception hall, the citrus room at the Hilton Doubletree Denver Tech Center (DTC) was decked from floor to ceiling with beautiful white curtains and sparkling chandeliers.  The room along with all the floral arrangements was designed & set up by Design Works.  They did an amazing job transforming this once brightly colored orange, red and green room into a cozy reception hall masterpiece.
