"I VALUE THESE IMAGES MORE THAN MY WEDDING PICTURES."

If you are considering a Day in the Life (DITL) session with Colie I would recommend booking her now. You will NOT regret the priceless memories she will capture for your growing family! I value these images more than my wedding pictures. It's real life as I want to remember it.

She loves the video too.

These are not your average family photo sessions. Every family has their own unique story so let's take a day to tell your story, unabridged and unscripted. This experience yields images and a family film guaranteed to bring on the happy tears during nostalgic times. I know 24 hours with a photographer sounds like crazy town, but it will be the best day ever. PROMISE! The only thing I require that is not negotiable is coffee. Lots and lots of coffee.

I must warn you, these sessions are

totally

addictive

So what does a Day in the Life photo session look like?

See for yourself!

Book your session

We get approximately 940 Saturdays with our kids before they leave the nest. Let's document one that they can relive over and over again. Spending an entire day with your family isn't insanity, it's the best day ever!

Yes, an entire day documented is

totally

amazing

pick your saturday
