CHEYENNE FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER
Finding The Art In The Everyday
Serving Cheyenne, Fort Collins, and surrounding areas
Have you put off photos for years because your family doesn’t seem like the type to have Perfect Family Photos? Are your kids too silly? Your spouse too nervous?
Here’s the secret: everyone’s family is messy. And shy. But also somehow loud. And a tiny bit of a disaster. But the right photographer can direct that energy into something fun, something that feels comfortable and not forced.
Yes, you’re going to have to get closer than you think. And yes, it will take a few minutes to get comfortable. But I’ll let your kids be kids, I’ll chat up your spouse about their job, and I’ll tell everyone what to do with their hands. By the time we’re done, your kids will be asking for “One more photo!” (seriously), and your spouse will get in the car and admit, “You know, that really wasn’t that bad”.
What makes a magical family photo isn’t necessarily the light or what you were wearing. It’s not how you were posed, or how well your kids smiled for the camera. It’s an hour outside with your kids, everyone happy and connected, getting a few snuggles before hopping back in the car for ice cream.

“Liz worked magic with my family. She was so friendly, kind and patient. She knew how to take away the pressure of trying to force a perfect pose and helped us all enjoy our photo session. Family photos with a three year old and one year old and WE HAD FUN!” – Mattie
how I can help
Relaxed and fun sessions
My favorite clients are the ones who told me “my family hates having their photo taken” during booking, but are suddenly on my calendar year after year.
I will let quiet kids be quiet, rowdy kids be rowdy. I promise – we’ll get there! But do. not. stress. We’ll run, we’ll jump, we’ll snuggle, we’ll adventure.
Organized and professional
I will guide you through the family photo process, from booking, to location, to what to wear, and how to get your images. I’m available for any questions you might have.
I know I’m at my best when I have a clear, organized path forward, which is why I want to provide that for you!
Fellow mom of three
I know how hard you had to work to make this a reality – picking out clothes, getting it on everyone’s schedule, convincing your spouse it was worth the effort.
I’m in your corner to make this an amazing experience, one your family will be excited for every year.
