I don't just show up, snap some photos, and send you a digital download link — that would be a disservice to you and your senior. Every session is custom planned around your senior's personality, passions, and style. From your very first consultation all the way through product delivery, I am with you every step of the way. The result is not just great photos. It is an experience your whole family will remember.

The sooner the better! Popular dates, especially weekends, summer months, and especially fall, fill up fast in Northern Colorado. I recommend reaching out at least 3 months in advance to secure your preferred date. That said, if you are working with a shorter timeline, reach out anyway and I will do my best to make it work!

Yes! I love helping clients put together looks that feel authentically them. Every client receives a custom session guide with outfit tips and inspiration before their session. You will also chat through ideas during your consultation, and you are always welcome to text me photos of your outfits beforehand. No outfit stress allowed!

And here is a little bonus - I have a collection of props and accessories available for you to borrow during your session, including jewelry like necklaces, bracelets and rings, hats, and some outerwear pieces. Sometimes the perfect finishing touch is already waiting for you!

I photograph clients throughout Northern Colorado, including Greeley, Loveland, Fort Collins, Ault, and all the great spots in between. Have a location in mind? I do travel for sessions outside the standard service area, and a travel charge may apply. Reach out and we will chat about the details!

We are at Mother Nature's mercy out here in Northern Colorado! I keep a close eye on the forecast starting a week out and check daily as your session approaches. If the weather looks questionable, I will reach out the day before to reschedule. No drama, no stress!

Your Design and Ordering Appointment takes place the same day as your session! After we wrap up your portraits, you and your family can go grab a bite to eat while I get everything ready. Then you come back, see your images for the first time, and choose your favorites together. It is one of my favorite parts of the whole experience! Once your order is placed, your gorgeous products will typically be ready for pickup within 4 weeks. I work with a professional lab and personally review every single order before it gets to you. If you have a specific deadline, just let me know!

I do! Digital files are available in select Collections. In my experience most clients do not actually need full resolution files — what they really want is beautiful images to share with family and friends on social media. I offer social media sized files delivered through a convenient app that lives right on your phone for easy sharing anytime, anywhere. Your teen can share their favorites instantly and you can text grandma the good ones! And honestly? Nothing beats having your images printed and displayed beautifully in your home where you can see them every single day!

Carol Dunnigan Photography is a full service portrait experience, not a shoot and burn operation. Every client pays a booking fee at their consultation to secure their date. From there, your investment depends on the products and Collections you choose during your Design and Ordering Appointment. I offer both a la carte pricing and curated Collections, and I will walk you through every option to help you find what works best for your family and your budget. No surprises, no pressure!
