From the Hip

I am a publisher in Denver and needed some photos for my printed publication. The photos are awesome! I will have a tough decision choosing from many shots! They really captured the feeling I wanted in the photos. Nina the photographer was so attentive to my every need. She truly has a gift and it shows through her photos. Communication from the beginning was exceptional. Great customer experience from beginning to end. And… so reasonable in their pricing. I have seen their work in other venues as well. They are becoming quite famous in Denver but they have kept their commitment and pricing very fair. My photos were business photos but I will use them for other events as well. My graphic artist for the publication told me that he has never seen such wonderful photos. My printer who prints 150 magazine titles agrees. Take it from a print pioneer this company is the best in the West!

From the Hip has taken our family photos every fall since my toddler was born in 2013. Nina and Katie have been our photographers (Nina the first two years and Katie this year)…and they are both AWESOME. Great communication from start to finish… and they always deliver a great set of photos that reflects our personalities perfectly. They also offer great location ideas. We’ll definitely continue to use this shop for years to come.

I loved working with From the HIp Photo. I worked specifically with Nina. She went above and beyond. She answered all my questions, made me feel comfortable and worked with everything I asked for.
She took the time to help me think outside the box and really capture the important moments! The pictures are BEAUTIFUL!
From the Hip Photo was very professional and fun to spend the day with. It was important to my Husband and I that we didn’t spend all day taking pictures. They did a great job making sure we got all the important shots but being quick and efficient so we could spend more time with our guests at the reception.
I give them a VERY high recommendation for the quality of work they do. The pictures are beautiful (and I haven’t even received the second round of re-​touched images yet). We got married downtown Denver and I wanted to capture a very urban feel and look which was accomplished.
i HIGHLY recommend From the Hip Photo.

This review is shamefully late by about 3.5 years. Danny and Nina shot our wedding in early 2012. After we got our engagement photos back, we thought there was no way that the wedding photos could be topped– oh how wrong we were. They have a way of capturing not only photos, but personalities and emotions. I am flabbergasted reading a few of these reviews stating that communication is lacking between FTHP and the consumer. When we first emailed the dynamic duo, we received a response within MINUTES. Danny was incredibly easy to get a hold of and they even opened up their home to us to get to know us and to discuss their services. From start to finish, Danny and Nina captured every moment perfectly. Danny went above and beyond and even took on some unplanned coordinating roles to help us out on the big day. You would be a fool to even consider going with another company!

Danny and Nina were amazing! From the very start they were very easy to work with and the communication was great! They have a creative eye and their photos are just beautiful. It was so much fun working with them the day of our wedding. They got some amazing shots and were just a pleasure to be around and work with. I cant say enough good things about working with the crew at From the Hip! We highly recommend!!!

My fiancé and I (plus our mothers) met with Danny, Nina, and their staff last week at their adorable office/​home. They really took the time to get to know us and our taste. They showed us several of their wedding albums and all of the photos were so beautifully taken. The couples in the photos did not look overly posed or tawdry. They really captured the natural, loving moments between people. Danny is one of the best conversationalists you’ll ever meet. He makes you feel completely at ease so you know you’re in good hands. Nina has this serene tranquility about her. You can tell that she views the world differently through her eyes and finds beauty in places and things we often miss. I’m heartbroken to say that we decided to go with a more economical option. However, From the Hip’s prices are very reasonable, especially for a company with their level of skill.

Danny no-​showed me for an appointment today that we setup a month ago. He said he would follow up this week, but I never heard from him. The lack of communication was appalling as it took a week for him to respond to any of my messages. Avoid like the plague.

Will use again! Very pleased with every experience of my new professional headshot.

These guys are AMAZING! Professional, personable, and extremely capable… what more could you want?

We worked with Katie for 1^st birthday photos and she did an incredible job capturing the nuances and sweet details of our little girl (her chubby little thighs, tiny toes, big excited grin). She made us both at ease immediately and it was so easy to take natural, relaxed family photos with her. I can’t say enough for Katie’s professionalism throughout. We must have exchanged over 30 emails with scheduling, rain delays etc. (all on our part!) and throughout she was completely understanding and accommodating. I can’t wait to work with her again and give From the Hip the highest recommendation.

I recently had headshots done for my coaching business with these guys and loved every part of the experience. I wanted something a bit more interesting than the usual serious corporate shots done in a studio, and From the Hip worked with me to help create something that was really fun and really true to my personality and my business!
The first step was meeting Ely for coffee to discuss what I was trying to achieve. She did a great job of trying to understand me and my business and had some great suggestions that really enhanced the final result! We found a great location for the shots that gave plenty of variety and visual interest that worked well with my brand. Ely even got quotes for a makeup artist for me, and the one I chose was close to the location and did a great job!
I met my photographer, Katie, at the location and she made the whole thing really fun, which was terrific because I was pretty nervous… She had a lot of great ideas for shots and we got heaps of different scenes and styles of image. She asked for my input as we went through and got some shots that I really wanted, in addition to her own creative ideas.
I’m delighted with the proofs and it was hard to choose which ones I liked best! For someone who hates being photographed, this was an awesome experience and I have a great variety of shots that will help me promote my business in a way that represents the real me.
In case you couldn’t tell by now, I would recommend these guys in a heartbeat to anyone who wants great quality and CREATIVE images for any purpose. They deliver something really unique and special, with true consideration of who you are and what you want in the finished product. LOVE!

We recently had Kristin come and take photos of our guesthouse for our Airbnb listing. She was awesome! For starters I’d give her 5 stars for communication, which is huge! When she came out for the photo session she was such a pleasure. She was genuinely excited to be photographing our property and it showed. She took her time and made sure she got the best shots possible. I loved that she didn’t think twice about lying in the grass to get the best shot of the exterior! I wouldn’t hesitate to call Kristin again for any of my photography needs. Thanks!

Both Danny and Nina were very polite and responsive on email and text replies. One of the best thing about From the Hip is their website listing their prices and services they offer.
I was pleased with my professional headshot cost $ 150 with one of their photographers Kristin. The studio is in a residential house in Stapleton but it was very professional and business like.
They also do real estate HDR photos starting at $ 150 to help sell your house. You can find cheaper photographers on Craigslist but From the Hip is definitely top notch.

We recently had a photo shoot with Jess from FromtheHip and we are so excited to get prints of our photos. The pictures came out wonderful and we were very happy with the results.
She was friendly and went above and beyond to get our infant son to smile. We are going to use their photography services again for our son’s first birthday and possibly for some work related stuff too.

Had a great experience with Nina and Danny. We saw this huge sunflower field blooming and got inspired to do a family photo shoot last minute. Not only were they prompt with our inquiry, they made time to squeeze us in on a Sunday morning. Now that’s great customer service! We had a blast with Nina and our photos turned out amazing. Can’t wait to work with Nina and Danny again!

AMAZING!!! We used From The Hip for our wedding. Danny and Nina are wonderful. They made us feel like we made the best choice from the second we met with them. Jess ended up shooting our day and was absolutely AMAZING. The attention to every detail was outstanding. We couldn’t be happier.

Ummmm.. .. . absolutely WONDERFUL.. .. .seriously.
Danny was sent to our home from Airbnb to take pics for my listing. They were beautiful! He truly captured all the coolest parts of my condo, and even made the toilet look awesome!…not kidding. He was totally creative with all of the angles, lighting and highlighting the skyline and view from my home.
I originally had some raggedy pics up that I took. I sucked at being able to show off how cool my place was. Because Danny was able to capture it in the correct light I got a ton more interest in the condo and I’m super grateful.
Besides the great work, Danny was SUPER quick to respond and communicate with as far as appointment setting and questions. He was flexible, cool, chill and just plain nice.
Thanks Danny.

We used «From The Hip» for our wedding April of 2013 and 1.5 years later we are STILL in awe of the pictures!
My Husband and I are from Los Angeles, CA and had decided to do a destination wedding in Vail. Having never been to Denver or Vail, I contacted From the Hip along with several other photographers, but found that Nina & Danny were the most helpful. They discussed with us options for different vendors, and were great with fact that we couldn’t meet with them in person, but for one time before the wedding.
We had hired them for a certain number of hours, but I swear that we must have exceeded that exponentially, however they didn’t charge us for the extra hours. In fact, the morning after the wedding we were snowed in and they provided a free photo shoot with us in the snow!
We’re so lucky to have found them and I would be happy to respond to any personal queries about them if you would like to message me. Thanks again Nina & Danny you’re the best!

Even though I have not had the opportunity to use From The Hip Photography, apparently they did attempt to make contact with me. I’m not sure why we weren’t able to make contact, but when we finally did, Danny was very friendly & willing to help.
I don’t think it’s fair to keep my 1 star rating up, because we finally did make contact, but at the same time, I can’t give a 5 star rating over a couple contacts. I’ll have to save that for after I use their services.
So! Since I can’t remove my 1 star rating, I’m bumping it up a couple stars in fairness.
Should I use their services, & of course if warranted, I’ll bump it up again.

From the Hip is an amazing company I cannot speak higher of or about. We had recently moved to the area and were in need of engagement pictures. When I emailed the company explaining my situation, that I had no idea what I wanted or where I wanted it, or even what to wear, Danny was quick to reply full of helpful information and suggestions. We were able to get a session in right away (within a week!) at a location that had a frozen lake, ice blocks, wooden bridge, and mountain backdrop. SO many photography background options at one place! I was so excited.
Nina was fantastic. She does the engagement pictures and she helped guide us to amazing poses. Since neither of us are professional models, or artistic by any stretch of the imagination, she showed up with a vision and encouraged us to try different poses that really put us at ease. We got our unedited proofs 3 days later (wow!) for review. We got about 350 images to shift through so we could pick our top 16, and it was easy to do with their system and a lot of fun.
If you want quality pictures, Nina is the girl. She has vision and is able to see how the light will play and work within the photograph. As someone who is not a photographer, even on Instagram, I knew I could trust her judgement and I was proven right.
There is a reason they are highly rated, For real.
