Families

 

Capturing your growing families so you don't have to worry about not being in the photo with them...

Colorado Family Photographer documenting your fleeting moments

“Photography can only represent the present. Once photographed, the subject becomes part of the past.”

— Berenice Abbott

Families are perfectly imperfect. I can capture your love for one another to be preserved.

“There are no perfect parents, and there are no perfect children, but there are plenty of perfect moments along the way.” ―Dave Willis

 

What to expect

 

Inquire

 

When using the contact form on this website, your inquiry goes directly to our company email, and your information will  get  saved into our booking system. We respond in a timely manner  with our availability, and prefer to setup a phone call or video chat ASAP. If you're local, meeting in person is always best!

 

Set the date

 

After the consultation, which takes place after the initial phone call, and once you've decided we are a good fit, we send over a proposal which will include a photography agreement to sign along with an invoice. There is a non-refundable retainer fee of $50 for all families to reserve the date. We can also setup a payment plan.

 

What we offer

 

When you book with us, you automatically receive what our brand offers to every client: A temporary, online gallery where all the retouched, high resolution images/video will be available to download. The gallery also has a store to shop from for prints.  You receive full printing rights to print elsewhere, if desired. We even have options that include photo albums!

 

Shot lists

 

 

If you are planning family reunion photography, we can provide a template for you to put together a family shot list. It also includes a recommended timeline to follow for the day-of. This can help reduce missing any pivotal family portraits.



 

 

Previews

 

 

We whole heartedly love editing, and  delivering images as soon as possible without losing quality is part of our brand. We strive our best to "nail it" SOOC (straight out of camera) so that your image previews can be delivered within a few days.

Testimonials

"Family came all together for thanksgiving in 2023 and I only had 1 day to do a photoshoot. Contacted Jade and Copper and they were amazing. Not everyone would even reply this quick let alone agree to do the shoot. They made everything super easy, choosing locations that are close and making everyone in the family super comfortable during the shoot. Love their process, they payment and way photos get released. And they under promised and overdelivered both on photos and timelines. Highly recommend."
