People

Photographing people is what I love most. Whether it’s a family session, a major event, or a high school senior portrait, I bring years of experience and a calm, professional approach to every shoot.

I’ll help choose a setting that feels true to you, meet you on location, and we will spend a relaxed couple of hours creating photographs that reflect who you all are. Every image is lightly retouched and delivered with care, ready to be shared, framed and treasured for years to come.

If you are looking for engagement photos or proposal photographs please go to my other website focusing on wedding related photography.

These photos become more than portraits, they hold your family in time. Formal portraits in the beauty of the mountains, as well as documentary style photography, embracing the chaos and realness that you want to remember forever.

Family sessions are $800

Weddings are one kind of event, and photographing events is what I do best. From non-profit galas to corporate gatherings, I bring the same care and artistry to every event I photograph, especially here in Boulder County.

Events are $300 an hour

Senior year marks a powerful shift, when your child starts becoming an adult. I create portraits that reflect this moment with honesty, their unique personality and a glimpse of who they are becoming.

Seniors range from $500 to $800

“Gretchen photographed our family during our family vacation in Fraser. She was very accommodating! I love the documentary photos that she took of us gathered in our airbnb and the group photos we took down the street with a beautiful mountain backdrop!! We were a large group (15 including four very young children!) but she captured some precious moments! I am very grateful for her skills and her efficiency!”

“Gretchen has photographed our events and programs for the past several years and does a stellar job. Her photography is fantastic and really helps capture the atmosphere and impact of our events. She is a pleasure to work with and a wonderful ally in our work. We would definitely recommend Gretchen for all your photography needs!”

“Working with Gretchen was a streamlined experience. I appreciated the professional website, questionnaire and interface she had to provide photos to us! She was a delight to work with, and I appreciated how she accommodated my short timeline!”
