I'm Colie

I make awesomely real photos + everyday films for families just like yours, even in a pandemic.

Parenthood Sessions

This generation of kids are no strangers to being in front of the camera. iPhones and other mobile phone cameras are in the hands of almost every parent, so pictures might be an everyday occurrence in your household. You may even have an insane amount of selfies with your family in the frame. But, don’t you want pictures without the limitation of how far your arm can stretch? Trust me, you do.

YOU DESERVE TO BE IN THE FAMILY PHOTOS, PERIODT.

Let's get you IN the picture too

I'm in!!!

More than a photograph

This video has no sound.

This is why you hire me

I don't mean to brag, ...ehhh that's a lie I will TOTALLY brag. If people cry while watching my films of complete strangers, just imagine what it would be like to watch your own family? I bring your family memories to life and seeing + hearing their giggles or the moment your children meet for the first time is always worthy of #happytears. A few of my clients have also been known to hide out in a closet to watch their films after a long day of Parenthood.


You need this in your life

Life in the 1st year

My job is just to make sure there are photographs (and video) for your children and future grandchildren to experience how it was too. Let me not lie, it is also so that when they are raging teenagers full of hormones and attitude you have a few family films and albums to remember when they were so little and cute.

Everyday Chaos Documented

An ordinary day has so many little moments worth remembering. The way your littlest clings to your leg, carries a baby doll in each hand or lays their head on your chest, won't last forever. Checking under the bed for monsters will soon be a thing of the past, so let's document these moments before they are gone.

What I Offer

I need to know nicknames, how to make your kids laugh, and no one wants to be in something uncomfortable with a camera in their face for a few hours.

Before

Fill out your questionnaire and pick something comfortable to wear.

Your kids will think cameras mean fun and your partner will be happy to join in too. Don't worry about getting anyone to cooperate, you hired an expert.

During

You be you and I will take care of the rest.

I would apologize, but it's literally my job. They will be tears of joy, but nonetheless you will need tissues when you view your video for the first time.

After

This is when I make you cry.

Are you worried about booking family photos in a pandemic?

I swear after the 10 weeks I spent locked inside my house I just did not know how to act around other humans.   I was also not sure in-home newborn sessions would ever be possible.  Now that I am back to work I can unequivocally state I was mistaken. Are you scared to have a photographer in your space? Before you cross family photos off your list for the remainder of the pandemic, let's talk about what in-home photo sessions look like in a pandemic. 

I don’t blame you. Seriously. 

1. 

Only one in-home session per week.

2. 

I wear a mask the entire time.

3. 

I touch no one and maintain social distancing.

Let's Chat!

It doesn't have to be awkward, but you should know you can't pay me in tacos or coffee no matter how much I love them. I don't want to waste your time or mine so please use this as the measuring stick.

A $350 non-refundable session fee is due at time of booking to secure your date for a Parenthood session. Digital image + product packages begin at $750.

INVESTMENT

Just take my money

My kids run to the door when they know Colie has arrived. She is like their long-distance favorite Aunt! She allows them to be themselves…and she captures all those special moments. Colie is amazing…not only as a photographer but as a genuine human being. We are so lucky to have found her!

Love Colie and would hands down highly recommend her!!! Especially if you love lifestyle photography. Colie did our little girl’s newborn shoot, then her 1st year photos. And we plan on having Colie shoot any other future kiddos and milestones!

I'm absolutely blown away by the photos and video. She captured exactly what our family looks like right now - and all the amazing moments I want to remember.

Colie offers something that not a lot of people do, which is photography AND videography at the same time. I honestly don’t know how she juggles both but the end result is absolutely beautiful and I can’t wait to show my daughters the photos and videos when they’re older!
