I'm a Telluride + Crested Butte storytelling photographer.
I'm Savannah
Hello
Stiff poses and studio lighting are not what you'll get from a session with me. If you are after stunning natural light, gorgeous scenery, laughs and genuine smiles, true emotion and wonderful memories; then I'm the photographer for you. If you want to walk away with timeless, true to color, bold photographs, then we'll probably be a match! My editing & shooting style is true to my training, photojournalistic. I am here to capture raw, true moments. I am not here to capture perfect, shiny, staged moments...because life is not perfect, shiny or staged. It is beautiful, emotional, messy, raw and wild.
a glimpse behind the camera
First and foremost, I am passionate about nature & connection. Sharing the beauty of Telluride, Crested Butte, and Ouray with my clients while capturing real moments in their lives lights me up.
Meet your Telluride + Crested butte photographer
PASSIONATE ABOUT
My family! I have a 3 year old wild child and a husband, both of whom I adore.
favorite place
I think it might be Crested Butte...sorry Telluride! I love the small town charm and wide open valleys.
Fun Fact
I rode horses competitively all through college! I am a horse girl at heart so if you want to include horses in your session I would love nothing more!
sECRET TALENT
Making a GREAT cup of coffee. I was a barista for almost 6 years.
FREE TIME ACTIVITIES
Any spare time I have, I fill with concerts! You can catch me getting down at all the local venues, and at Phish at least once a year.
LATEST OBSESSIONS
Lavender lattes and the entire Yellowstone series.
This is something I feel so passionate about, and I hope it translates in my work. I want to capture you in your element. I want to capture giggling kiddos and mama wiping away a tear, not just fake smiles for the camera. I work hard to bring out the best in everyone with jokes, games and a "directed candid" posing style.
AUTHENTICITY
Before becoming a photographer I spent years in customer service because I LOVE connecting with people. My goal is to capture the real love and connection between my subjects. It's the little moments like pinky promises and stolen kisses that tell the story of who you are to each other.

WILL YOU PHOTOSHOP MY IMAGES TO HIDE ANY UNWANTED SPOTS, WRINKLES, ETC?
I primarily edit for color, contrast and light. Minor edits such as smoothing skin, removing blemishes and whitening teeth will be made to all of your images, but I believe our imperfections are what make us beautiful & unique.
I recommend booking 1-2 months out for the months of November-May and 3-6 months in advance for the peak season of June-October.
how far in advance should we book?
DO I HAVE TO ORDER PRINTS THROUGH YOU?
You will receive all retouched digital files in a resolution fit to print up to 8x10, for prints larger than this I will be in touch to ensure top notch color and quality.
I service Telluride, Ouray, Crested Butte and the areas in-between such as Montrose, Grand Junction and Ridgway!
