Signature Storybook Portraits

 

Step into a story of your own with Signature Storybook Portraits: themed portrait sessions on sets I build by hand in Arvada, Colorado. These immersive portrait experiences combine thoughtfully designed sets, imaginative details, and beautiful photography to transport you somewhere extraordinary. Whether you’re celebrating a romance, gathering your favorite people, or indulging your own imagination, gentle posing guidance and candid moments bring your story to life.


Our inaugural setting, Dream Tea Party, welcomes you into an enchanting garden of teacups, flowers, and make-believe. Tea party sessions are now available for individuals, couples, families, and small groups of up to six people, with new worlds to follow. See how I built the Dream Tea Party.


Imagine the mysterious wonder of a night circus, the glittering elegance of a winter palace, or a lantern-lit street inspired by vintage Kyoto. Perhaps your story unfolds in a medieval castle or aboard a whimsical hot air balloon adventure. These are possibilities for future custom sets. Share your vision, and let’s explore what we could create together. Each new world is built once its first sessions are booked with deposits.


Perfect for:

  • Individuals seeking an imaginative portrait experience
  • Couples, engagements, and anniversaries

  • Birthdays and milestone occasions
  • Families and children’s adventures
