PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHER • BOULDER COUNTY, COLORADO
Images That Feel Like You
Personal branding and professional portraits for entrepreneurs, artists, makers, and creative independents building something that matters.
You do serious work. Work that took years to build. Work you're proud of.
But when people find you online, your photos tell a different story. They don't show the craft. The space. The intention behind what you've built.
That gap between your work and your image? It's costing you. Not because you're doing anything wrong — but because the right people can't see what's actually there.
Where you work is part of who you are. Your photos should show it.
People make decisions fast. A potential client lands on your site, scrolls your About page, and forms an impression in seconds.
If your photos look like an afterthought, they assume your work might be too. That's not fair. But it's real.
The gap between your work quality and your image quality creates doubt. And doubt goes somewhere else.
Closing that gap isn't vanity. It's clarity. It lets the right people find you and trust what they see.
Why Environment Matters
Where you're photographed shapes how people see you.
Sometimes that's your workshop, your studio, the space you've built over years. The tools you've collected. The evidence of the work.
Sometimes it's somewhere quieter. A corner that feels like you. A location that fits your work without showing it literally.
Either way, context isn't just background. It's part of the story.
If You're Camera-Shy
You probably don't love having your photo taken. Most people I work with feel the same way.
Being photographed feels exposed. You're not doing anything, just standing there, being looked at. No wonder it feels awkward.
That's why I don't start with the camera. I start by watching. You do your work. I observe. By the time I start shooting, you're focused on something familiar, not performing for a lens.
First 20 minutes feel strange. By minute 30, you forget I'm there.
Who This Is For
This is for people who chose their own path.
Artists and designers
Makers and craftspeople
Musicians and performers
Restaurant and shop owners
Creative entrepreneurs
People whose workspace tells part of their story. People whose tools, process, and environment matter.
And young people who see the world differently — kids who don't want to be seen like everyone else.
If you've built something meaningful and your photos don't show it — this is for you.
For Young People Choosing Their Own Path
Your kid is like you. They see things differently too.
While other kids follow trends, yours is obsessed with creating art, making music, building things, fighting for causes that matter. They're choosing their own path early—just like you did.
Generic school photos and cookie-cutter senior portraits won't honor that. They deserve documentation of who they're actually becoming.
I photograph young people (ages 6-17) the same way I photograph adults—with patience, respect, and attention to their emerging creative identity. Not cute kid photos. Real documentation of young independents.
