Professional Branding Session in Colorado Springs

Dawn reached out to me a few weeks back wanting to do a branding session for her new photography business, Dawn Autumn Photography with me. Dawn and I met when I look my kids to the Great Wolf Lodge a few years back. She was helping us with our time there and we got to chatting about photography. I gave her my card and we have stayed in touch since.

I have watched Dawn grow in her photography journey. Last year around this time, she booked a mentorship with me and we talked over technical things she was having trouble with, we ate some delicious pizza together, and then we photographed a beautiful family side by side. Afterward, we worked on some editing techniques and I have been in contact with Dawn on and off checking in on her and her growth.

Dawn is ready. She is ready to step out into the photography business world and put her name in the hat to do some amazing stuff! Her main focus is going to be still life and landscape photography with a little bit of portrait work in there every now and then. I support her and her goals and know she will do well.

Dawn, thank you for not only trusting me with providing you your photography mentorship but also for taking that dedicated leap into this wonderful world of entrepreneurship and documenting what your heart loves. I know you are going to do well and I can’t wait to keep watching it happen.

Colorado Family Photographer Mentorship Session

Alex and her family were so sweet to model for a shoot along mentorship session with a budding photographer here in Colorado Springs. The process for my family shoot along mentorships involves choosing a family together. From creating the model call graphic and posts to the final selection, mentees are with me every step of the process. There were so many beautiful families that reached out. We ultimately chose the Miller family because they had 3 children, a boy and two girls. Their family was what my mentee was looking for, big with lots of opportunity for interaction and play. They were also perfect for what I look for to capture and teach during the mentorship.

My family session shoot along mentorships focus on harnessing connection, authenticity, and adventure within families. We worked together to help our client style clothing with the use of Style & Select’s online wardrobe styling services (pssst…if you use this code, WILDPRAIRIE10, you’ll get 10% off your first year, hoorah!) and reviewed clothing choices together to help our client look their best. Alex was so super sweet and flexible when it came to clothing and I appreciated her willingness to create a session of my mentee’s dreams. Their family is gorgeous and their clothing choice created a classic and timeless look for their final gallery as you can see in the slideshow above and a handful of my favorites from their session below.

If you have been wondering what a mentorship with me looks like, please reach out. I am happy to explain the process and work with you to create the session of your dreams with a family that shows their love in authentic ways for you and your camera. Come hang out with me.
