With all of our photography, we promise to provide you with the utmost of character, creativeness and quality.  We genuinely make your special day 

Ageless and Everlasting!

Our rates are simple:

$200.00 per hour 

This allows you to manage your photography budget in ways to suit you.

On a typically wedding day, I start the photography with the couple putting on the finishing touches just before the wedding ceremony.  We’ll follow you through the entire ceremony and immediately afterwards,  (with time permitting before the reception), create the perfect portrait set of the couple, the wedding party, family, friends, what ever you desire.  Then we’ll move on to capture all the festivities at the reception. All told, this usually equates to about seven to nine hours photography service.  This is a typical wedding day, but it may not be yours!  Please tell us what you want and we’ll do our very best to accommodate!

If your looking for something a little more “short-termed” such as the ceremony only and then a portrait session afterwards, we can stay with the minimum four hours of photography service. Its entirely up to you!

When the day is done and the photography finished, we spend the next few weeks personally reviewing, cropping and editing all the imagery to ensure the portraits you receive are of the utmost quality. All finished images from the wedding day will then be made available to you, with full access to copyrights.  From there you can download, share, or print your wedding portraits entirely as you desire. These are YOUR portraits!

We also offer Photo Books and Albums. We have some examples of both that we’d love to show you. 

RainbowWedding LBGTQ Wedding Expo

We Loved Meeting You at the LGBTQ Wedding Expo. We really enjoyed spending the afternoon with you last Sunday.  Thank you all so much, for visiting with us.  I just wanted to drop you a note to remind you that we offered a 15% discount on any of our packages to anyone who attended the RainbowWedding Expo last Sunday the 18th   and that offer still holds! This is really a great deal for you, but it also gives us at Creative Portraits by Dolores, a wonderful opportunity to show you how we can make your special day ageless and everlasting.  Please give us a call.  We'd love talk to you again.

We're Adding VIDEOGRAPHY !!

Starting in August 2019, we've partnered with videographer Tim Boughn, with whom we've worked with for years.  We love working with him and our couples absolutely love his work so we thought this would make a perfect match.  For years couples have asked us if we also did videography and our answer was always no.  We figured we should stick with what we know best and not meddle in something completely new.  But we also thought that perhaps we weren't giving the "soon to be married" community everything they needed so...  

Here it is!  For about $700.00 more, and subject to Tims availability, we can have Tim work your wedding with us and provide a video that covers the entire ceremony, highlights of the reception, and a montage of the entire day set to a song chosen by the couple. 

Maternity and Newborn Portraits

Maternity and Newborn

Here at Creative Portraits by Dolores we're experimenting with a new technology that is an incredible new tool that can take any still image and animate it into a beautiful looping GIF or video file.  Check it out!

We're also reminding our mothers-to-be that a Maternity and/or Newborn portrait session is a wonderful way to capture a very special time in their lives and keep it dear forever.  Here are some examples of recent Maternity shoots we've done.
