My Approach

I want to make images that genuinely feel like you. The smile you get when you see a close friend. The light in your eyes when you're thinking. The way you relax with the people you love.

That means I take time with you. I’ll guide when it’s useful, but I’m not here to shape you into something you’re not. You get to show up just as you are, and I’ll help you capture a vision of yourself that you love.

The best portraits don’t just look good: they feel familiar. Honest. Timeless in the way truth is timeless.

Every Kind of Portrait. Every Kind of Person.

I treasure the opportunity to work with the full diversity of humanity: light or dark, queer or straight, young or old, and I treat every person with dignity and care.

Senior

Bold, thoughtful, fully you. Artistic portraits that honor this moment.

Family

Formal or chaotic. Posed or candid. Capture your real family.

Intimate, expressive, and honest. Portraits for every kind of couple.

What to Expect

We start with a quick consultation (by text, in person, or video chat) to discuss your photo shoot: concept, wardrobe, time, location, etc. Then we’ll handle a bit of paperwork: calendar invites, a photo contract, and a deposit.

On the day of the shoot, we'll meet as arranged. I’ll coach you as much or as little as you like and make sure you're having fun the whole time. Within two weeks, I'll send you a gallery of edited preview images and an "alternates" gallery to choose from. Swap images into your final set for free, or add extras for a small charge.

Once I receive your final payment, I'll update your gallery with full-resolution, print-quality images for you to download.

Reflections from my past clients

Actual quotes from past clients on my Google profile

Amazing experience with this photographer. We had the experience during a cloudy day that turned rainy, that didn’t stop Andrew at all! He took some amazing quality pics while we could outside, and even extended our session a bit to finish in his photo studio when the weather wouldn’t permit us to finish outdoors. 15/10 would recommend this service! You won’t miss an unforgettable moment! — Vivian

Andrew was easy to schedule with. He’s very professional and yet laid back enough to make my 15 year old son relax for a good pic. He had the final edit pics ready so quickly. I highly recommend him as a photographer. Great to work with. Great pictures. Thanks, Andrew! — Stephanie

Working with Andrew is always a pleasure. He is incredibly passionate about what his work and cares a lot about delivering a quality product. His unique approach to preparing the shot made it very easy for me to pose. Having done multiple sessions with him, I highly recommend his services for his exceptional value and professionalism. — Santosh

I had a fantastic experience with Andrew's photography service. He responded quickly to my request and coordinated everything professionally. His support in selecting the location was invaluable, and he managed his time perfectly during the photoshoot. Highly recommend Authentic Moments Photography. — Rediet

Andrew was wonderful! He made me feel so comfortable and welcome in his studio space. When I walked in, I’d had a busy day and heck of a time getting to the studio, so he just gave me a second to collect myself and breathe. It helped me to be much more relaxed during the headshots. He also went through each photo with me and helped me to choose the best ones for my professional portfolio! I loved working with Andrew and highly recommend him! — Raelynn

Andrew was amazing to work with! From the moment he reached out to me about our project to the very end! He had great ideas for poses and locations for our photographs and really worked with us on what we wanted to see come to fruition in our shoot! If you are looking for an easy going shoot and someone who has an eye for detail you can’t go wrong with booking Authentic Moments!! — Lanea

I had the pleasure of working with Andrew a couple of weeks ago on my maternity shoot. He did a fabulous job capturing the concepts I was aiming for. His communication is so clear and timely. He was a consummate professional throughout the shoot. The studio was perfect for what we were working on, offering tons of options. The turnaround time for editing the photos was impeccable - I received the photos within days of our shoot, and they were STUNNING! I highly recommend booking with Authentic Moments, if you ever find yourself wanting a wonderful photographer! Andrew checks all the boxes, and goes above and beyond! — Karly

We couldn't be happier with our experience with Andrew and Authentic Moments Photogrpahy! He was incredibly knowledgeable about capturing the vibrant Colorado sunshine, which really made our son's senior photos shine. His technique and attention to detail resulted in a stunning final product. Not only that, but Andrew’s friendly approach made the entire session feel comfortable and enjoyable. Our son, who’s usually a bit shy, really came out of his shell, which made the photos feel even more genuine. Highly recommend Andrew for anyone looking for a skilled and personable photographer! — Kari

I had an AMAZING experience with Andrew and Authentic Moments Photography. My partner and I had wanted to book a couples shoot and it was cancelled last minute by another photographer, luckily Andrew saved the day and was able to accommodate us easily into his schedule with limited notice. The pictures turned out incredible and I couldn’t be more thankful that we chose Andrew as our photographer. I would definitely recommend Authentic Moments and would happily choose Andrew again for future photo inquiries!! — Julia

Andrew did amazing! He made us feel so comfortable and made it super easy and fun. We are so happy with how they turned out! — Gianna

Andrew was the best. This guy went way above and beyond for us on our pictures at Garden of the Gods at sunset. Pretty sure he's part mountain goat the way he bounds around. We appreciate him so much. — Josh

Andrew took my son’s senior pictures. This process was so easy from the very start of booking the session to the finish of looking at the beautiful photographs! During the session, Andrew coached my son on poses and that made it very easy for a camera shy teenager, who has never posed like that for his mother. The photographs are full of light and life! I will cherish them for years to come. Highly recommend Andrew for your next photoshoot! I will be asking him for one for my other kids and hopefully the entire family. — Anna
