Yes! There is no travel fee within 30 minutes of Fort Collins, Colorado. Outside of that area a small mileage fee may apply. We make frequent trips to Winter Park, Colorado and Billings, Montana, so travel fees to those locations will be minimal.

For outdoor pictures the best time of day is the first few hours after sunrise or the last few hours before sunset. If little ones are involved it's better to work around their schedules so they are happy and ready to play with me and my camera. Even if the light is wonderful if a child is upset because they are tired or hungry it will be much more difficult to get great photos of them.

We recommend simple comfortable clothing without busy patterns, large logos, or too many buttons or ruffles. We want the focus of the photograph to be on the individuals, not what they are wearing. For family photographs, think complimentary clothing. Everyone doesn't necessarily have to match, we just want to avoid clashing colors.

Of course! Please contact Laura to discuss what you're looking for and we'll work together to get something right for you.

We're blessed here in Colorado with so many amazing locations and beautiful days. Try to have an idea for what type of background you're looking for; mountains and evergreen trees, a lake or stream, or just a simple grassy area or bed of flowers and then contact us. Once we have an idea of what you're looking for we'll work together to find the perfect location.

You'll have at least 30 proofs from an hour photo shoot. At weddings we don't limit the number of pictures we take so the final number of proofs varies depending on the length of time we're there. We promise you this, if things are happening, we'll be getting pictures!

Approximately two weeks after your session your proofs will be ready. Please allow an additional week for weddings or other large events.

Approximately two weeks.

Yes, all images can be viewed online at http://bluehousephotography.lifepics.com/index.cfm.
Please contact Laura if you need your event code.

Typically proofs are not retouched but we are happy to retouch any image that you would like to order reprints of. Please contact Laura with the photo number and desired change.

Basic session fees are due at the time of the session. Payment for weddings and the watch me grow nursery package are handled differently.

Weddings - 1/3 is due when the contract is signed to hold the date, the remaining balance is due 1 month prior to your wedding.

Nursery - ½ is due at the first session and the balance is due at the final session.

Cash and check. Credit cards may be used to order reprints from http://bluehousephotography.lifepics.com/index.cfm.

Although it would be nice if this never happened it just does. We're understanding in these situations but would request that you give us at least 48 hours notice.
