A photographer in Aspen
The family together in the snow, a proposal at the lake, the dinner nobody wants to forget. A local photographer, arranged around your stay.
The family together in the snow, a proposal at the lake, the dinner nobody wants to forget. A local photographer, arranged around your stay.
We arrange a local Roaring Fork Valley photographer, English and Spanish speaking, for family portraits, couples, proposals, celebrations and private dinners: in town, at the residence or out in the valley, by the half day or full day. On the ski slopes, the ski company's own photographers work for free, and drones are not allowed over the ski areas.
On-mountain details are from Aspen Snowmass, checked September 2026. Session prices are quoted per request.

Everyone together, from grandparents to the youngest, in winter light in town or at the house.
Planned discreetly, with the photographer in place before the moment. In summer, the Maroon Bells at first light.
Birthdays, anniversaries and private dinners at the residence, documented without interrupting the evening.
Ceremony and weekend coverage; see getting married at the Maroon Bells.
Aspen Snowmass's photographers work at the top of the Silver Queen Gondola and at major Snowmass lifts, roughly 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., with no shooting fee and no obligation to buy; proofs arrive the same evening. It's the simplest way to get the family on the mountain. Rules for outside photographers on the ski areas aren't published, so our private sessions happen off the slopes.
Drones aren't permitted over Aspen Skiing Company's areas without authorization from its legal department. We don't offer aerial shoots on the ski areas.
Who, where, and the feeling you want. We suggest the light and the place.
Morning and late-afternoon light are best; we fit the session around ski days and dinners.
An edited gallery to keep, and prints if you'd like them.

A car and driver on call for dinner and the night out, so nobody hunts for a taxi at midnight.
