Craft and Care
Individual portraits, families, groups, weddings and more. The subjects of our photography might be varied, but they all receive the same promise of quality, care, and personalized service. We bring years of photography experience combined with a goal of constant improvement, trying to make every shoot better than the last. We offer fast turnaround times (typically under two weeks) for everything from a 30 min portrait shoot to a 12 hour wedding. We take great care to keep backups of every photo we for as long as we are in business. And we offer a guarantee on every shoot. If you don’t love your photos, just let us know and we’ll do whatever we can to make it right.

Testimonials
“We needed Senior High School pictures for our twins, Senior College pictures, and wanted some family pictures taken as well. Dillon not only gave us some beautiful portraits but, more importantly, got some that really showed our kids’ personalities. Dillon was even willing to drive around RMNP to all of our favorite spots and work around the crazy crowds. We highly recommend Light + Lens.”
“We thoroughly enjoyed our photo shoot with Dillon and his bride! She kept us laughing while Dillon shot great spontaneous pics. Loved their teamwork and how they put our fam at ease.”
“Dillon and Anni are friggin’ adorable. During my portrait session, I brought my fiancé along, but we both felt very comfortable with them, immediately. They are awesome about experimenting with fun backgrounds and locations, which is great when you’re looking for something more sophisticated than generic, stock photo portraits. If you, too, tend to clam up around cameras, Light + Lens is a great solution! Thanks, you guys!”
“I shot with Dillon over the weekend in Boulder, and had the most fun I’ve ever had with a young photographer. I was very comfortable with him right away and he was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. He knew exactly where to stand, how to pose and how to use the light to his advantage, and he was so right about shooting during sunrise,when the sun was fresh, The pictures came out increible and I would be incredibly honored to work with him again.”

About Us
MY NAME IS Dillon
And I love to make good things. I love a thing well crafted, and even more I love to be the one who crafted it. I love the tools that are used to make a thing well and I love to figure out how to use them. I enjoy the process of learning how to make something new and so I have spent lots of time watching tutorials and reading blogs and trying (often poorly) to make things. I've made videos and websites and logos and audio recordings. I've done some woodworking and a little metalworking and a lot of soldering. But right now what I am enjoying more than anything else is taking photos. Mostly portraits with a candid feel. I love catching real moments with people and giving them the opportunity to see themselves the way the people around them do. To see their own face through their friends' and families' eyes, instead of through a mirror or social media filter.
My Name is Annika
And I get to be Dillon’s lovely assistant in all aspects of life. I am a proud Colorado native and grew up in Fort Collins. I love Northern Colorado with my whole heart and love getting to be part of this community. A few of my favorite things: Cousins. A well-cooked meal. A good book. An even better nap. Harry Potter. My dog, Schmitt. My niece and nephew. My siblings. My mom and dad. Pretty much every dog I meet. Dillon. Jesus. Coffee. Belly laughs. Musical theater. My own renditions of musical theater hits. Dancing at weddings. Singing loudly in the car. Summer camp. Meeting people and serving them well. I laugh big and cry a lot, but it’s because I love and feel deeply.
