Our family's experience with Craig and his staff was one that we will always be fond of. After our initial consultation we knew we had made the right choice in the selection of a photographer. We also discovered that Craig is much more than a photographer; he is an artist in every sense of the word.

During the session Craig and his staff made us feel like we were the only people on the planet. Through the laughs and the smiles I was able to reflect on how special the moment was. We will never forget it. The final product is nothing short of a masterpiece and it's something we will treasure the rest of our lives . . . Thank you for everything Craig!

THANK YOU CRAIG!

We knew you would find the perfect setting for our family portrait. What we didn't know was that you could turn a day that sounded like perfect torture to our kids into so much fun for us all. Thank you for everything.

Thanks, Craig, and thank you for turning our family photo into a piece of art that we will enjoy having over our mantel for years to come! We've found that in addition to creating a beautiful image in a setting that represents our family life, there's been one other key characteristic of working with you - you've actually succeeded in making the family photo shoot fun and exciting! For a family that's avoided portraits year after year, that IS an amazing accomplishment! We will recommend you to our friends without hesitation!

Since virtually the day my first child was born, I have envisioned an heirloom quality portrait of my family. Three children later, Craig McNeil made that dream a reality. From the start of the process Craig worked with my wife and I to pick a stunning outdoor location that captured the spirit of our family. He chose the best time and managed the site logistics. He even got all three children to smile at the same time ! The result was a stunning image that never fails to draw comments from family and friends. It is a portrait which I hope will be passed down for generations.

For years our family had been talking of a family portrait. Procrastination won out and our daughters quickly became teen-agers. It was not until I attended a presentation by Craig McNeil that I realized it was now or never and that Craig's style of work was just what we had been waiting for.
At our initial consultation, my husband and I quickly explained our passions. Water, mountains, blue sky, casual, yet formal, and three teen-agers! Craig did not flinch at this, in fact he immediately said, "I have the perfect location." We were skeptical; Craig could meet all that with one location and sitting? The answer was yes; our portrait is finished, hanging and perfect! We have the water, mountains, blue-sky, it is casual, yet formal and my teen-agers actually enjoyed the sitting experience and are happy with the final result. A true success by every measure!
Thank you Craig, for making this possible.

It captures, not only the personalities and physicals characteristics of each member of the family, but most of all, the joy with which we share our lives.

It has been a pleasure getting to know you.
Thank you so much!

It is with full confidence and positive experience that we offer our reference for the photographic/portrait skills and professionalism of Mr. Craig McNeil. We were fortunate to meet Craig through a silent auction through which we bid on a sitting for a family portrait. It was our first experience with a professional photographer since our wedding date, and, in our minds, the photo(s) that were to be taken would be just as memorable and important to our family.
At our initial meeting, Craig essentially interviewed our family in order to assess what kind of portrait - location, "mood"; and attire - would best capture our family. After a series of conflicts between both Craig and our schedules for sitting dates, we were finally able to find a mutually convenient time and place in mountain areas around Dillon, Colorado. Through the scheduling process, Craig continually offered encouragement that we would find a date and the "ideal" location surrounding Dillon. Ultimately our outdoor photograph was taken (again, Craig's encouragement got us through our session) and then Craig continued to put his skills to use on the post-photograph process of portrait creation and framing. After a single visit to our home, Craig selected an ideal frame within which our family portrait currently resides.
We are truly satisfied with all aspects of our involvement with Craig McNeil and offer our wholehearted reference for his services to an individual or family that may wish to forever capture a special moment in time.

We wanted to write and sincerely thank you for a wonderful family experience. We are absolutely thrilled with our portrait. For a family that struggles to get a single good photograph out of an entire afternoon of trying, you have managed to produce multiple fantastic portraits in just over an hour. In our minds you have pulled off a miracle. My husband's eyes are open, my daughter is an angle and our dogs are sitting at attention.
As you know our dogs are a key part of our family and even though they have a tendency to get overly excited and easily distracted, you wanted to work with them and include them in the portrait. Bless you for that! After seeing the result, we are so happy you convinced us it would be worthwhile. The dogs look beautiful and now we will always have this portrait that will remind us how our family was this summer.
It is a real family heirloom.
Your attention to detail, your patience and artistic talent really shine through in our family portrait. We sincerely thank you for your efforts in providing our family with a gift we will cherish for many years to come.
