  1. 2018 Sessions are NOW Open | And HUGE Early Bird Session Savings

    I just want to love on you and your family, and it’s that time of year again my friends. The annual Early bird special savings is back and the 2018 Calendar is now open for just this special until January. I just want to show you how much I appreciate you. I admittedly am not a huge fan of Black Friday crazy and crowds, but the sales are pretty amazing and I can’t think of a better way to show you just how much I do care but extending a sale of my own to you.

    This past year was our busiest yet! We saw so much of our gorgeous country and got to love on families in all walks of life. There was a ton of inspiration to be found in every frame and on every session. Each family brought out the best in me as an artist. I felt growth and pushed myself to try new things. On a more persona level,  I wiped tears, got to hear the most poetic and sometimes even heartbreaking life stories, made a ton of new friends, played in the rain and in the snow and in the wildflowers, hugged some familiar necks and marveled at how their children have grown, and so much more. It all left me a bit breathless and already yearning for next year’s families.

    And teaching… oh the teaching. There were souls laid bare and vulnerability and so much growth. Teaching and sharing this intense love for photography is just as important to me. I am SO inspired by the women that came before me and shared their own eager hearts and minds and struggles. I can’t wait to do all that again too.

    So, next year I hope so much you join me on this journey and allow me to be inspired by YOU. Whether you are coming on back or seeing me for the first time, I am ready to be there with you and the ones you love most. That means maybe even making some pretty special memories with you. Whether that be in the Rocky mountains or laid out in the gorgeous countryside with foothills all around, let’s do this.

    What makes the special… so special?

    It means I have some very special packages only being offered FOR this promotion including something new this coming year. Packages that will be priced at a VERY special price just for this Holiday season before I begin booking full 2018 rates this January. These packages are a first come/first serve deal due to the discounted nature. As always I will be offering sessions to Families, Couples, Lifestyle Family, Lifestyle Newborn AND maternity. If you are trying to think of the PERFECT Holiday gift for a special family you know as well, this is it! This is your chance to save HUNDREDS of dollars.

    You can read below for full package options and to purchase and snag your spot before they are gone.  As always I am based out of the Fort Collins, CO area and service the immediate area. If you are hoping for mountains though I have a VERY special package for that too and will be traveling up to Estes Park, Colorado or Bellevue, CO for these. Also be sure to check the very bottom for a pretty collection of a few of our 2017 highlights!

    How To BOOK: (And reserve the savings)

    Choose your Package and then e-mail me at SayHello @ My Four hensphotography.com, message me on the fan page OR you can use the blog contact form here. Specify your package and share a good e-mail to send an invoice. You will need to put half down of your package OR purchase the mini session out right to reserve your date. This is non-refundable. You can then chooses your season if you are still planning or month. If you would like to choose a specific date now too, that is completely okay. I recommend waiting until January however to set your date.  Once your invoice is payed and the retainer is satisfied, you are officially on the calendar and locked into this special rate.

    Note: there are exactly 10 each of these packages to go around. Once that quota has been met-I will be closing this special. After that booking will be for full pricing/rates. Shoot me a Message via the contact form here, on the fan page OR via my e-mail address (SayHello @ My Four Hens Photography. Com) Remove spaces with the package of your preference and I will get your invoice set up and the time frame from there. I can NOT save your spot until your deposits have been made. Mountain sessions in Estes Park must be held before the beginning of October 2017. Please note this before booking.

    These packages and your deposits are completely non-refundable so please plan accordingly. If for some reason you can not satisfy your session, the deposit will be withheld but you will not be responsible for the remainder of the package unless we are 7 days from your scheduled date. There are no exceptions. By paying the deposit you agree to these terms.

  2. Mountains, Love, Light | Estes Park Family Photographer

    One of the biggest compliments I have ever received as a family photographer is I was once told “I bring out the best in my families.” I thought on it. I even swelled up a bit with pride. I did. I own that. Then I realized something profound.  That is honestly not true. While I wish I could graciously accept that compliment and pretend that I get all the credit for these moments, whether through posing or just being some kind of enigma, the fact of the matter is this;

    My families bring out the best in me. They push me and they inspire me. They do this just by being them and bringing a measure of honesty and vulnerability with them. It takes a lot to show up and dismiss perfection for beauty. We are in the thick of our lives and our families daily. We don’t realize that our mundane is also our special.

    There is guidance and I will gently nudge them into the good light. I will occasionally  tweak something technical and communicate what makes for the best photos…yes, that’s my job. BUT, the way Dad glaces over with love in his eyes as his wife snuggles in closer. The way Mom whole heartedly throws back her head and belly laughs at a joke her three year old just shared. The way she protectively holds her belly… or her child. That’s all them. That can’t be recreated. That’s their magic.

    When we do sacrifice our ideals for something… more, we crack opportunity of these kind of images wide open. These sessions are a partnership. You are worthy of moments like this in your albums. This CAN be your family.

    And going back and revisiting all the families I had the chance to work with this past year makes me that excited for 2018.

    I hope when booking opens up this Friday, I get to do this all over… again and again.
