5 Reasons You + Your Pup Need a Colorado Mini Session

Calling all dog parents and adventure-loving couples! If you’ve been thinking “we need some new photos,” or want to capture your little family with mountain views, a mini session might be exactly what you’re looking for. As a Colorado photographer who’s spent a lot of time chasing golden light and tail wags, I’m here to tell you—mini sessions are where it’s at.

Here are five reasons you and your pup should totally book one:

1. You need updated photos (and let’s be honest, the ‘gram could use a refresh).

When was the last time you had photos of just you two — and your dog, of course— that weren’t blurry phone snaps or selfies from your last hike? Mini sessions are the perfect way to get fresh, high-quality photos that feel like you: candid, joyful, and surrounded by Colorado’s dreamy backdrops. Whether it’s golden hour in the foothills or snowy alpine meadows, we’ll make sure your gallery gives your Insta grid a glow-up.

2. It’s a perfect (and affordable) excuse for a fun date night.

Think: 20 minutes of snuggles, laughter, and exploring somewhere beautiful with your person and your pup. After the session, grab tacos, hit a brewery, or head out for a sunset drive—you’re already dressed cute and riding that post-photo session high. Flying solo with your pup? You’re so welcome here — dog moms (and dads) deserve dreamy photos and fun adventures too. Plus, mini sessions are more budget-friendly than full sessions, so you get amazing memories without breaking the bank.

3. The mountains make everything more magical.

Maybe I'm biased, but we do live in one of the most stunning places in the country. From pine forests to wildflower fields to snowy peaks, Colorado knows how to show off. As your Colorado photographer, I know all the best dog-friendly locations where we can soak in those easy-to-access views and create photos that feel adventurous and fun all at once. No long hikes required — we’ll keep it short, sweet, and stunning.

4. Your Christmas card will thank you.

If you’ve ever scrambled for a decent photo in December only to end up cropping one from a summer BBQ — this is your sign. A mini session gives you frame-worthy images that are actually planned. Think green meadows full of flowers, happy tails, and golden light. I can even help you pick your favorite for your holiday card, so your friends and family get to see your pup in all their photogenic glory.

5. It’s just plain fun.

Let’s be real: photo sessions don’t have to feel stiff or awkward. My job is to make you feel comfortable, help your dog shine, and capture the little moments — your pup’s goofy grin, that look you give each other when no one else is watching, the way your hands find each other without thinking. That’s the magic, and it all happens in 20 easygoing minutes.

So, if you’re ready for an adventure that ends with beautiful memories, updated photos, and a very happy pup — let’s chat. Mini sessions are short, sweet, and packed with everything that makes Colorado life (and love) so special. Want to snag your spot? Reach out here and let’s make it happen.
