I photograph exclusively outdoors—no studio sessions—using mountains, forests, and open spaces as your backdrop. My style is relaxed, warm, and connection-focused, perfect for families who want genuine moments and couples planning intimate elopements.

40/40 photo shoot! Working with Sandy and her team was an unforgettable experience. From the moment…read moreI stepped in front of the camera, she created a space that felt safe, encouraging, and empowering. I've never felt so comfortable being photographed-- Sandy has a true gift for helping you relax, be yourself, and still bring out your most confident, radiant side. The direction was thoughtful, natural, fun and intuitive--never forced. I left the shoot feeling not just seen but celebrated. The final images captured not only how I look, but how I felt--strong, grounded, and beautiful. If you're looking for a photographer who knows how to bring out your best, both technically and emotionally, look no further. Sandy is an artist, a professional, and someone who truly cares about the people being photographed. I can't recommend her and her team enough.

This was an absolutely terrible experience for our family. Christina didn't listen to what I wanted…read moreat all, and when I told her I was uncomfortable in a certain pose (Sitting on a jagged rock on a steep hill, in a dress and heels, while holding my newborn), she threatened to quit and wouldn't continue shooting until I did the pose she wanted. She was terrible at giving directions (just turn, turn the other way, no the other way, move your hand, etc - entirely unclear) and would get mad at us when we didn't guess correctly what she meant. When we didn't pose the way she wanted, she would make sarcastic and snippy comments that made us all SO uncomfortable and made the whole shoot so awkward. And then she'd bark at you to smile! We did not get one single photo that we will ever use. I am so very sad and mad, not only that we wasted $500 but that we can't go back and get photos that we can actually use of my baby at this age again. We can never get that back. I would highly encourage you to think twice before hiring Christina if you have a baby - she absolutely does NOT know how to shoot babies. Or family groups. If you have any thoughts or opinions of your own whatsoever about what you want, she will not listen to you. When I told her what shots I wanted (which we had discussed over the phone and in email prior to the shoot) she yelled at me that she's the professional and basically I needed to shut up and do it her way because I don't know anything. I left the shoot in tears. It was truly awful. And surprise surprise, I've never seen less flattering photos of myself or my family in my entire life. There is literally not one single photo where you can see everyone's face and everyone has their eyes open! I truly believe she started taking bad photos intentionally after I didn't want to do one of her poses because even a non-professional photographer could capture at least one or two that were ok. Think twice before hiring her.

She met with us prior to our shoot to get an understanding of our vision,help advise us on what to wear, and decide on a location. Everything she suggested was absolutely perfect!! The photos came out 100x better than we ever could have hoped for and she returned them to us remarkably fast! It was a pleasure to work with such a friendly & talented photographer and I would recommend her to anyone!

Colby Evans is one of the best in the business. Her photos are STUNNING! Thank you so, so much…read more Your photos are all just spectacular and a gift we treasure always. We are really grateful.

Colby takes absolutely amazing photos. She captures the true spirit of every member of the family…read more The photos are natural, not posed, and she somehow manages to get the twinkle in your kids' eyes, every time. The process is fun, not stressful, and she is quick... She gets the job done without a lot of sitting around and taking thousands of shots to get the right one...We think of her photos as pieces of art and always get compliments on them. It is honestly worth flying to Boulder from San Francisco to use Colby! BTW, my husband is a photographer, but we still love Colby best!

It genuinely feels like she has big plans for you and wants to make sure people can see your best self. My headshots definitely look like me (look like me lookin' good!), but they also make me look like a good person who cares about other people's health, which I am and I do, but how she got that across in a photo is beyond me.

Wow. Shooting with…read moreJess (now Art of Her) is such an incredible experience that I hope all women get to have at some point. From the moment I had my first discussion with Jess I felt at ease (though I am no veteran in front of the camera!) Shooting with her is always a breeze-- fun, comfortable, full of laughs. She directs gently to make sure you look your best. But the best part is receiving your images. You know when you get ready for something and look at yourself and say, "Damn. I look good!"...? That is what you get. That and more. Jess has this way of capturing the soul and beauty within every human she shoots. That isn't something that lighting and professional equipment and airbrushing can do-- I think it is because she has an ability to see the masterpiece in every person she encounters, and THAT is what she captures. That is what you will see. ART of Her, indeed. If you're looking for a photograph to not only display your beauty, but the essence of who you really are, look no further. I can't wait to go to Denver for more pictures!!

Here are a few perks to consider with Nicole (I advise checking on each of these with her.):…read moreYou get full rights to personal use of the photo files. A PDF of the contract/usage agreement is included in her file sharing. She sends USB sticks with all the edited photos. We got 600+ engagement photos back. We got 1000+ wedding photos back. It only took three weeks (in the height of wedding season) to send us our USB stick for the wedding. You can easily view, favorite, download, AND order prints from her website (Pixieset Host). Since Nicole started in a portrait studio, she has a great eye for portrait photography while still capturing the mood and emotions of the people and event. Further, Nicole is such an easy person to work with! From the beginning, her customer service was wonderful. She spent a good amount of extra time getting the best engagement photos of us that I have seen to date. She even went ahead of time to scout out the shoot location to get our route and timeline planned so we got the best pictures at the best locations at the best times. Our engagement photos at CU Boulder (University of Colorado Boulder) turned out spectacular. The day of the wedding, she arrived on time, ready to go, and focused. Nicole was calm and collected among the chaos of people getting dressed in a hotel, traveling from hotel to venue, and the wedding party arriving slightly late at the venue. Our wedding photos turned out with an 8/10 rating. They weren't perfect because we chose to take them at 3pm on a very sunny day. In the end, we did not get as many "spectacular" pictures due to being late and the ones with our wedding party were washed out because of the time of day. Not Nicole's fault. Our priority was to get married and this was granted by a smooth and professional photographer.

She continued to do a great job planning throughout. She was flexible with planning an engagement shoot, which was a little tricky for us since we had moved out of state by that time, and she worked around our schedule.

She was accommodating in creating package that fit our needs. We loved working with Nicole and would absolutely hire her again! (also posted at WeddingWire)

Edit on 12/19/18 - We still have not received our photos, and phone calls to check on them have…read moreeither been unanswered or I've been told that I'll get a call once they're in. It is now very unlikely that I'll see these photos before Christmas. I have really mixed feelings about Fairytale Experiences. While the pictures are CUTE and my kids had a great time with Santa, their pricing is literally astronomical. Be warned that you will not even see any digital options unless you spend upwards of $300 on their portraits. Their packages, I kid you not, go all the way up to $5000. I love my children, but I would never even consider that type of money on seasonal photos. The experience was sweet, but they need to be WAY more upfront with their pricing and ordering options at the time of booking. All of the people are very friendly and they are not pushy, I just believe their pricing is unreasonable.

The WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE…read more The Santa experience was great but the fact that you can only buy prints by going back in for a viewing session is ridiculous. - What if I want to take my time looking at photos and deciding what to buy? - I am a single mom. I don't have time to drive 40 mins both ways to buy photos AND find someone to watch my son so he's not confused why Santa is no longer there. - My son's father lives out of state and wants to buy photos too but can't look at them or the prices or buy anything Why would a company make it SO hard to give them money?!?!? Why are they so unfeeling to people who want to take a little time to see the pictures and think or don't have the ability to come back in? I have written multiple times stating that I have money to spend and want to buy photos but just can't do it in person. They don't care AT ALL. Just an icky scam to try and force you to spend more money. TERRIBLE experience and terrible customer service. Shame on you.
