Local Photography in Thornton, CO

Photography is a gift… offering us an opportunity to capture this beautiful world and the wonderful moments we spend in it. Let your imagination run free for a moment. Envision your perfect portrait. It is my goal to capture the best shot you have ever had of yourself. I won’t settle for less. It isn’t just a photo session. The experience is just as important. Creating cinematic photos should be an inspiring endeavor that evokes thought and excitement. If you are uneasy about the camera or if you don’t have a single photo you like of yourself, that will soon change.

***Note*** please contact me if you are serious about working with me. I get charged at least $20 for every person that contacts me. Photography has always had a special in my heart. My goal is to create "wow" moments for all my clients. As a principal partner in RAW Photographic Studios in Denver I have created a great environment to create dynamic images. I love all styles of photography but am most passionate about weddings. Contact me to create those "wow" images. Your happiness is 100% guaranteed.

Colorado Wedding Event and Portrait Photography Capturing Every Emotion, Every Expression, Every Moment of Your Life Story What separates good photos from amazing photos? They should capture your once-in-a-lifetime moments, but show the real you - relaxed, confident, and soaking in every memory of your life. That’s exactly what I’m here to do: To give you photography that tells your story in a way that’s so authentically you, that you’ll be instantly transported back into those beautiful memories every time you see them in your home or reminisce over them with your family. I believe that being up front with my clients about what they get is important. When you work with me there are no hidden fees or extra charges. You will receive your own online gallery where you can download, share with family and friends and order prints. And you can use your photos how you want without getting permission or having to pay extra. When you hire me as your photographer I become engaged in your special event. Because I know you would not have hired me unless it was something very special. Every photo I take is not only about making sure the lighting is correct and everybody is looking "just right" it is also about capturing the emotion of the moment. I look forward to capturing your moments that you will enjoy for a lifetime!!! John Klippel

Photography has been part of Kaytlyn’s life for as long as she can remember—starting with disposable cameras at family gatherings, instinctively trying to freeze time before understanding why it mattered. Today, she sees photography as a small miracle: a way to preserve moments that might otherwise slip away, holding onto the emotions, stories, and subtle magic of everyday life. With over a decade behind the lens, Kaytlyn brings a grounded, intuitive, and intentional presence to every session—knowing when to gently guide and when to simply let the moment unfold—whether it’s a wedding, engagement, maternity, family session, or personal milestone. Her photography is rooted in authenticity — capturing moments as they naturally unfolds. She’s there to document the real, candid moments and gently guide her clients through portraits with encouraging, relaxed posing so they can stay present and walk away with beautiful, timeless images. Her editing style is cinematic and classic — the kind of photos that not only remind you of how it looked, but how it felt. Kaytlyn’s work blends documentary storytelling with an editorial touch, resulting in images that are both emotionally resonant and artfully composed. For Kaytlyn, photography isn’t just a passion—it’s a calling. She approaches each session as a collaborator, guide, and storyteller. For those seeking more than just a photographer—someone who honors the heart behind each image—Kaytlyn is honored to step into that role with care, intention, and joy.
