Hi, My Name is Nathan.

I am a photographer who lives in Dacono Colorado and servers Northern Colorado including Frederick/Firestone, Longmont, Loveland, and Fort Collins.

For over a decade I have had the opportunity to photograph amazing weddings in some beautiful locations, capture memories for some beautiful families, work with churches to help create some great content for social media, and work with some excellent companies on creating branding imagery.

I have been married for 15 years to the coolest girl in the world and I have three amazing kiddos. When I am not taking pictures I am usually listening to or playing music, camping, or working on little projects around the house.

I would love to get to know you, please reach out and say hi!

For any queries, please use my contact page.

 FAQs

  • I’m based in Dacono, Colorado, but I love exploring the entire state for my photography work. The Rockies are my ultimate playground, inspiring every shot. For locations beyond 60 miles from home, I may apply a modest travel fee, depending on the project.

  • I capture moments that revolve around people, with a special passion for portraiture—be it families, maternity in my unique style, senior portraits, or professional and artistic headshots. I also enjoy documenting events and celebrations, bringing the energy and joy to life through my lens. Helping businesses and brands share their stories with compelling, authentic images is something I truly love. Let’s create something meaningful together.

  • This question always makes me smile because it’s a bit tricky to put into words. The best way to get a feel for my style is to scroll through my galleries and see the moments I capture. At heart, I’m focused on telling your story in a way that feels beautiful, joyful, and genuine. I love vibrant, film-inspired colors alongside rich, deep monochrome tones. My approach leans into classic, timeless film aesthetics that have stood the test of time—images you’ll cherish for decades to come.

  • I’m a bit of a gear enthusiast (okay, maybe a nerd) with a diverse collection of cameras. My main setup is Nikon mirrorless, but I also work with Fuji GFX and X-series, plus Nikon DSLRs. Every now and then, I dig out my film cameras too. I believe in using the perfect camera for each moment, ensuring the best and most creative shot every time.

  • Pricing can vary based on your unique needs. Portrait sessions typically range from $400 to $500, depending on the setting and intended use. Event coverage is generally billed at $300 per hour. Commercial, brand, and lifestyle photography pricing is tailored to each project, so rates may differ. Feel free to reach out through my contact page for a personalized quote and to discuss how we can bring your story to life!

  • Typically, I take about four weeks to carefully edit each shoot, ensuring every image looks its absolute best. Once your photos are ready, I’ll send you an email with a link to a personalized gallery. From there, you can easily view, share, and download your images. Plus, the gallery is a convenient spot to order prints, books, calendars, and other unique keepsakes to beautifully preserve your memories.

  • Due to time commitments and family priorities, I take on just a few weddings each year. If you're interested in having me capture your special day, please get in touch, and I’ll let you know if I’m available.
