STEVEN brings a lifetime of high-tech industrial experience to photography and applies all his talents to every project. He has a deep understanding of both natural light and strobes, often combining the two in challenging environments to produce the best images possible for our clients.
He loves the quiet of remote places, a warm fire in the mountains, the howling of wolves or barking of coyotes late in the night, and that first cup of coffee on a cold morning.
LAUREN is an Holistic Veterinarian, a Personal Defense instructor, and worked previously in the advertising industry. She brings a lifetime of art involvement and clinical skills to every project, and her calm reassuring nature is vital to the supportive and creative environment our clients have come to value so deeply.
She enjoys basking in the power of waterfalls, the sounds of the night while out in the wild, brisk mountain air and warm days swimming in the back country.
Together, we promote a secure and liberating space in which our clients are free to experience and live their photographic dreams. Our clients notice the difference both in the final images and in how they feel about their experience with us, often returning with more involved and expressive projects in mind.
Those who choose us seek to create deep meaningful memories and amazing artwork in epic natural settings. To that end we travel with you as both guide and documentarian, encouraging you as you create life-affirming experiences. During breaks, we remain in the background allowing you to explore the environs at your leisure... for as many days and in as many locations as your dream requires.
To ensure our clients have a customized experience free of limitations, we do not offer package deals in canned settings. We work with you to choose the time and place that best enables your dream.
Our dream is the creation of imagery that gives our clients beautiful memories. Those memories start with unleashing your own imagination. We look forward to exploring those possibilities with you!
Our Process - How we do what we do!
When you book with us, you receive our commitment to create images that tell your story with a masterful combination of artistic passion and technical skill. You also receive the benefits of our love for the outdoors, as well as for each other, which inform our photographic style and our ability to guide you in exploring the moments we capture.
During your first call, we’ll discuss how to achieve your creative desires within your budget, formulate your timeline, and set a tentative location and date. To formalize your reservation on our calendar, we require payment of deposit, after which we’ll create your personal account on our website along with your password-protected image gallery - your own private space for reviewing your images and ordering prints. We also send a welcome packet detailing all you'll need to know to prepare for your upcoming session along with our contract to be signed digitally.
Full payment is to be made 1 week in advance of your session.
During your photoshoot we help with posing, adjustments to wardrobe and relaxing in front of the camera. We allow ample private time for you to explore, to take in the experience and to recharge between locations; we feel this is critical to both your images and your memories. We endeavor to create genuine and artful images of you - the real you, the best you possible.
In the weeks following your photoshoot we edit and polish your images to perfection, load them into your private gallery and send you an email with a direct link to your images. You'll be able to review the images, preview different crop ratios, and more before ordering print products. Your gallery is active for an entire month so you have ample time to choose the perfect prints. We are available to assist you in choosing print sizes and options, help with book layouts, and to answer all the questions that come up along the way. We also offer in-person image reviews - our favorite because we get to share in the excitement and receive in-the-moment genuine feedback! In-person viewings also tend to reduce the time before your order is delivered!
Our partnership doesn't have to simply end with the ordering of prints! Often, our clients love their experience so much they engage us in further adventures! Building trusted relationships is a very special and integral aspect of our work. We welcome return clients with preferred scheduling, discounts, and we gladly reward referrals!
