I am a creator that will capture you for who you are, I will guide you if you need guidance, but my main priority is for you to trust me. I can’t tell you how to love or how to be vulnerable. I can’t tell you how to be happy, because I’m not you, but I can be quiet in the background and allow you to connect with your loved ones.
HOW WE STAND OUT…
It all begins when we connect through an email. I hear your vision for your dream shoot. I read about you and your loved ones. If we connect I will email you back setting the next step to a phone call to get to hear more about you, and I will teach you about the “me” and the approach of my guiding through your session. If i’m being honest my priority is to connect with you before the actual shoot. I’m all about people who are willing to be friends, and not hire a vendor.
2. When you hire me to become your photographer, you’re not just hiring a “vendor.” It is important that you can trust me with your story. I am telling your story in the most vulnerable way. I am coming in to get the most intimate pieces of your story. You must be open to sharing your heart, and the ones of your loved ones. I can’t tell you how to love, but I can guide you and set you in the right tone for it.
3. Be open to be guided with ideas of locations, outfit changes, lighting situations. Flexibility is huge for me, and we must work together. I will be upfront and tell you the truth what will work and what won’t work. My goal is to provide the best results to tell your story.
QUESTIONS &ANSWERS
HOW DID YOU BECOME A PHOTOGRAPHER?
I began experiencing photography when I was a junior in high school. I wanted to take yearbook so I could take all the photos possible, but I was a shy kid, and scared that I would suck at it, so my brother and I would steal my dad’s disposable camera and run the film out in taking selfies, spiders, the river, trees, we would photograph whatever we could find. My brother bought his first Canon Rebel T5 when he was 15yrs old, he would let me borrow it, but I had no idea what to do with it, but I would practice everyday, I would day dream that I would be shooting for Vogue and living in New York shooting for them (not gonna lie, I still have my hopes up for this to happen), anyway I shot my first wedding with that same camera when I was 17yrs, and right there I knew what my new hobby would be and the following year that hobby became my passion. I booked my first two paid weddings, and family photos, and 8 yrs later I am still loving my job as a photographer, today I am doing it with my husband’s support, and he’s even become my second shooter, so you’ll see him everywhere!
WHAT IS YOUR APPROACH?
My goal as a photographer is to capture true love, true emotion. My job is to document a true story to show you where your adventure has started and where it is going. I want to tell your story, and help you go back in time and feel all the emotions captured within an image.
DO YOU TRAVEL?
OMGSH!!! YES!!!! I will go where you want me to go! Ever since I was a child my dad loved traveling and moving to new places. So if you say, “want to get on a plane to shoot our photos.” You can count on me!!
HOW WILL I RECEIVE THE PHOTOS?
Every image will be sent to you via email in a gallery, where you/your family will have access to them.
WHAT DO YOU SHOOT WITH?
Canon 5D Mark IV
Canon R (mirrorless)
DJI Mavic Air 2
Canon 35mm film
Polaroid
I will also pull out my iPhone for BTS
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO GET OUR PHOTOS BACK? ABOUT HOW MANY PHOTOS WILL WE RECEIVE?
The post processing experience is as follows: 1 week after the wedding you will receive a 50-75 photo to preview and 6 months after the wedding you will receive your full gallery!
WEDDING: On an average of a 10+hr wedding expect to get around 500- 1000 fully edited images (100 photos per hour). I choose and touch up the photos that I believe are the best to tell your story.
ELOPEMENT: On an average of 2-4hrs expect to get about 200 fully edited images. I choose and touch up the photos, that I believe are the best to tell your story.
LIFESTYLE/ FAMILY: This is usually an hour photoshoot. Expect around 75 fully edited images. I choose and retouch the photos that I believe are the best to tell your story.

“Inde is AMAZING!!! Inde and John photographed my wedding and my husband and I can't get over the photos!! We are absolutely obsessed with the images and love looking back and getting to relive every moment.”
- Kendylyn & Josh
“Oh my gosh! Even in crazy weather with crazy family, you pulled it off. Really thank you and well done! I couldn’t be happier! Jordan cried when he saw them by the way:)” - Butterflield
We hired Inde to do our engagement and wedding photos, and we could not have asked for a better photographer to capture these moments for us. The pictures turned out absolutely stunning, and she gave us SO many photos that were beautifully edited. She has such a good eye for choosing the right backdrop and lighting, and she was super helpful with giving us direction for posed and unposed photos while keeping things fun and genuinely capturing our love.
Inde and her second shooter went above and beyond, taking extra photos for us on our film camera and helping us record a video of our ceremony since we did not hire a videographer. She was even willing to hike with us up a mountain to get the shots we wanted for our engagement shoot!
Inde also was very on top of sticking to our timeline on the wedding day and being flexible when our plans changed. Her sweet, calming presence helped to keep our stress low and remind us to enjoy the day. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone!
-Emily & Zach
“Hey Inde! Katie and I finally had a chance to go through all the photos. We are SO blown away with what you two captured!! We looked through them three times and every time we chose a different one that we absolutely fell in love with (we’re going to need more picture frames lol). We cannot thank you enough from the bottom of our hearts for doing such a beautiful job capturing the most important day of our life so far. Katie cried again just looking through them.” - Katy & Tim
Inde and John photographed our wedding and we were so happy we found her from the very beginning! She was very easy to communicate with, even though we were planning our wedding from out of state, and was always quick to respond to messages. She also had a lot of good insight into ideas for locations in the Crested Butte area that ended up being amazing backdrops for our photos. Working with her the day of our wedding always felt natural and never overly posed. She and John were very flexible and made our small wedding feel like it was still super important. To top it all off, our photos turned out even more amazing than we could have hoped. We'd recommend Inde be at the top of your list for anyone planning a Colorado wedding!
Inde & John, thank you again for capturing the beauty and memories from our day so we'll always have them to look back on. - Caitlin & Josh
