MOMMY & ME SESSION, DANIELLE & ANELLA | FORT COLLINS FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER | LISA O’DWYER

Being a mother of two boys has made me a better photographer of children and families.

FINE ART GICLEE PRINTS - PRINT YOUR PHOTOGRAPHS - FILM PHOTOGRAPHY

In a digital age, it is so easy to forget about printing your photographs. I urge you to go into your computer and print as much as you can now.

This paper is beautiful to look and to touch..[...]

OLD HOLLYWOOD STYLE GLAMOUR PORTRAITS - FINE-ART FILM PHOTOGRAPHY BY LISA O’DWYER

TAKING TIME FOR YOUR FAMILY PORTRAITS ON YOUR WEDDING DAY - LISA O’DWYER DESTINATION PHOTOGRAPHER

The most difficult photographs to take on your wedding day are the family group portraits. It takes time to organize the people needed, and they are not really dynamic exciting photographs really. I've noticed in the past 5 years there has been a trend to not give importance to these photographs and some couples and photographers do not schedule them in the day at[...]
