E. Broderick Photography

Introduction: My photography style tends to be very natural--I focus on capturing moments, interactions, relationships. I tend not to do a lot of 'formal/stiff' posing, rather I work with clients to 'create' interesting situations, I guide them into more natural poses and then I capture moments as they happen. I have worked with children for most of my life and have been in business as a family photographer for 9 years. I photographed weddings for 6 years in Connecticut. I took a temporary break from weddings when I moved to Colorado and started my business over but am excited to get back to photographing weddings in this incredibly beautiful state! Most of my family sessions are a combination of at-home, 'documentary' style photography and some time at an outdoor location nearby. My preference is always toward the more natural moments and I prefer to let kids play and explore and 'forget' about my camera in order to capture the most natural smiles and expressions. I spend a good amount of time working with families so that we are not rushed or forced in our interactions. As a wedding photographer who is both very organized and experienced with the 'flow' of a wedding day I like to be a resource to my couples as they make their way through the planning process. I typically help my couples design the timeline for the day, making sure to keep in mind their priorities in terms of capturing the moments and people who matter most and preserving time to enjoy each other and their guests on this incredibly special day. I also help to write a list of 'must have' shots and groupings so that the period of the day reserved for formal photos is as organized and efficient as possible. I know how important these images are so we work off of a predetermined list to minimize the chances of missing any 'must haves' while working quickly to get everyone back to the celebration. My favorite part of photographing families and weddings is sharing the incredible memories with my clients. Knowing that their photographs will be treasured not only by them but by their children, their grandchildren and future generations--that is an incredible honor. It is important to me that my clients' images exist in print, not just as digital files that may sit in a drawer unseen for years. To that end I spend a good deal of time helping clients decide how they would most like to see their memories in final form--as a gallery on the wall, as smaller prints in a beautiful glass box or in a custom-designed album, for example. While digital files are an option for purchase, most of my clients do purchase at least a few favorites as wall art or in a book along with their image files. I offer a complimentary pre-session consultation for my family sessions so that I can share product samples, see your home and discuss possible areas for display and brainstorm session ideas to capture your loved ones in a fun and dynamic activity. Ideas for family sessions can include just about anything! We can bake cupcakes, play board games, go to a farm to see animals or to a creek to throw rocks in the water. I don't think the activity needs to be extravagant or staged--I think that photographing children in their everyday lives is the most incredible joy. Snack time, nap time, bubble baths--I love all of it. Even the temper tantrums! We all know how quickly these moments come and go and how quickly our babies grow up. I think having the most 'ordinary' moments captured will mean the world to not only you, as parents,but to your children as they grow up and hear stories about who they were as 2 year olds and 5 year olds and so on.
