Real Moments. No Posing Required.

Youth sports, outdoor adventures, family sessions, and portraits across Boulder County. I photograph what life actually looks like.

Jody Vining, photographer

Hi, I'm Jody

I moved to Boulder from Florida because I fell in love with Colorado. The mountains, the light, the people who actually go outside and do things. Now I spend my days photographing youth sports, families on trails, and people being themselves in some of the most beautiful places in the country.

I am a sports parent, a trail runner, a guitar player, and a photographer who believes the best photos happen when nobody is trying to pose.

More About Me

Kind Words from Clients

Jody made our family session so comfortable and fun. The kids were laughing the entire time, and the photos turned out absolutely beautiful. We have never had pictures this good.

Sarah M. Family Session

I was nervous about getting new headshots. Jody made it feel like we were just hanging out. Twenty minutes in, I forgot the camera was there. Best photos I have ever had taken of me.

Marcus T. Headshot Client

Jody has been shooting my son's lacrosse games for two seasons now. He captures the moments we miss from the stands. The intensity, the celebrations, the postgame hugs. These are the photos my son will want to see when he is older.

Chris P. Sports Parent

The outdoor engagement shoot Jody did for us at Chautauqua Park was beyond anything we imagined. He knew exactly where the light would be perfect and captured moments we will treasure forever.
