Capturing the essence of life and community, one frame at a time.
Hi there! I'm Colie, a documentary family photographer based in Boulder, Colorado, and I'm here to help you capture the beautiful chaos of your family life. With a focus on authenticity and storytelling, I create photographs and films that truly represent your family, just as you are.
A Unique Approach to Family Photography
Say goodbye to stiff, posed portraits! I specialize in capturing the raw, unscripted moments that make your family unique. I believe that real life is worth documenting, and my goal is to provide you with a collection of images that tell the story of your family right now - the laughter, the tears, the squabbles, and the love.
Parenthood Sessions are tailored to your family's personality and interests. I'll document the everyday moments that often go unnoticed, as well as the milestones and celebrations that you want to remember forever. From chaotic mornings to cozy bedtime routines, I'm there to capture it all, creating a visual narrative that truly represents your family.
Photo + Video Packages
To ensure that you have a complete documentation of your family's story, I offer both photography and videography services. These packages combine the best of both worlds, providing you with a stunning collection of still images and a beautiful film that showcases your family's personality and the special bond you share.
