Joleyn Larson Photography & Design

A true photograph need not be explained, nor can it be contained in words. Ansel Adams

 the Photographer :: the Artistic Designer

a photographer who captures life’s every day moments one breath at a time. 

I’m a photographer who loves what she does.  A self taught photographer, I love getting out there and capturing the entire world with my camera. I love being inspired by every day ordinary things. Everything becomes a backdrop, a point of interest and I am on a constant journey to find the perfect spot, the perfect photo opportunity.   I offer contemporary, casual and fun sessions with a very casual and fun kind of photographer.  Your personal session will be on location of your choice; your home, your backyard, the park, down by the river.  I’ll let you be you and we’ll have some fun together and take some wonderful photographs while we’re at it.

There are no rules for good photographs, there are only good photographs.  ~Ansel Adams

Please note: The session fee is non-refundable and due at the beginning of the session and includes the time and talent of the photographer and your proofed digital negatives. All photos taken will be proofed, edited and creatively altered by Joleyn. (this may take up to 10-14 days) Proofed negatives are the photos that I have chosen to work with and those that I have found acceptable. You will not receive access to all photos that I take, due to the excessive amount that can be taken during a session. Depending on the session, and cooperativeness of the client(s) you will receive anywhere from 5-30 quality proofs to choose from.  Wedding sessions will have more.

Approximate price estimates:

When inquiring about my graphic designs please have these questions answered for me.

Some things to remember:

Resizing after first proof affects the layout and requires extra time to adjust your images and text. 

If you need a photographer to take the pictures for your design an additional charge of $35 per half hour will be added. 

Once the design has been uploaded, please keep in mind you cannot order it in a different size without damaging the layout. The image may appear cropped or words may be cut off.

Had my first in home session of the year. Have to say i was so excited and so inspired to do it. This little guy was amazing as we ventured through his beautiful home. We climbed stairs, played on his bed with woody and buzz, we played trucks in the snow…it was so fun. The pics are amazingly wonderful. Happy 3rd bday Fynn!!!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! I’ve been so blessed this year with my business i can hardly contain the excitement for next year. You all have been so wonderful to me. I’m so grateful for every one of you. I hope you all have a wonderfully blessed New Year…and don’t forget to call me so i can capture it all for you.

my Aurora :: series 1

{24×36}

met this wonderful family at the capitol for their family session. it’s amazing how fast i had forgotten….some two year olds can cruise…and fast. they don’t want to sit very long, and they definitely don’t want their pic taken too many times. even so, we were able to hold him down long enough for a few great shots. had so much fun with you guys. {hugs}

 mom and dad…can you guess who took this one?  let me help…i was the one holding “lil” man.

i had the most fun this morning with this lil man. i can’t believe what a year does to those little boys. he was such a sweetheart the entire session. smiling and posing and talking up a storm. this is why i am still doing what i am doing. pure pleasure.

These guys were so fun to work with. We did the session in their back yard and it had the most relaxing feel to it. It was my first go at puppies too…I think they turned out.
