I am THE Colleen Claire, and I accidentally became a photographer in college when my dad bought me a camera for a photography class. Now, here I am in West Fargo with my Husby and my baby (although she's getting so big!) and I haven't stopped! I always want more people in front of my camera because it makes ME happy to throw a few corny jokes out there and get a genuine smile out of folks, and because I know it makes them happy to see themselves on the wall/in a book/on grandma's fridge looking like they're having a great time (because they were)! I am rarely serious and I am by no means cool, but I do think I'm a bucket of fun and I think you'll think so too!
Some answers to your most burning questions
In short, we meet, I snap, I edit, you cry because you love it so much, although truthfully the crying part is optional.
In long, you and I will have a little phone call to get to know each other. All photographers were not created the same, and neither were all clients, so it's in everyone's best interest that we find out if we mesh well together! What if you don't like my stupid jokes? Then how could I possibly make you laugh?! It's a recipe for disaster, and disasters rarely make for cute pics to send to grandma. Then we'll get together, I'll do the picture taking, you'll do the standing there looking fabulous-ing, and then I'll do my thing on the computer to make sure you end up with some high quality artwork! Best part is then we get to hang out again and I can do... THE BIG REVEAL! (I've been told I can be somewhat dramatic.) Then we get you some good stuff ordered and BINGO BANGO you've practically got a whole new living room!
If you haven't already guessed, having your picture taken doesn't need to be an intimidating experience. I want you to have a good time goofing around with me while I do my thing, and then show you how dang cute you are afterwards!
Portraits should not be trapped in your phone! We're not doing this for the people on the internet, we're doing this for YOU. Let's get those moments in time on the wall where you can see them! I offer all kinds of "good stuff" like your traditional canvas prints, metal prints, and even acrylic prints! We can do books, cards, and if you have any special requests, I am open to looking into it. You want mugs? I think I can make mugs happen.
Essentially, whatever you want! I'll guide you a bit (clown shoes are probably a no-go, but if it fits the scene...) but mostly I want you to be comfortable! Solid colors and simple patterns tend to look best, and if there's a group of you, try keeping things in the same color family!
What do you call a deer with no eyes?
No eye deer.
