Cheyenne Family Photographer | Family& Couples Photography

The years may pass quickly, but the relationships, laughter, and memories you create together deserve to be remembered.

Debi Spencer-Zerby Photography is an award-winning photographer based in Cheyenne, Wyoming, serving families throughout Cheyenne, Laramie, Wheatland, Torrington, Pine Bluffs, Northern Colorado, and Western Nebraska. With over 12 years of professional photography experience, I create family portraits that celebrate the connections, personalities, and moments that make your family unique.

Whether you are updating your annual family photos, celebrating an anniversary, gathering multiple generations together, welcoming a new family member, or simply wanting to document this season of life, your session will be customized to tell your story. Family sessions are available in my Cheyenne studio, outdoors, or at a location that is meaningful to your family.

My goal is to create a relaxed experience filled with genuine smiles, authentic connections, and beautiful portraits that reflect who your family is today. The posed portraits are important, but often it is the laughter, hugs, and quiet moments in between that become the favorites.

Because one day these photos will remind you not only of how your family looked, but how this season of life felt.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where do family sessions take place?

Family sessions are available in my Cheyenne studio, at outdoor locations throughout southeastern Wyoming and Northern Colorado, or at a location that is meaningful to your family.

Can we bring our dog?

Yes. Well-behaved, clean, and potty-trained dogs are welcome in studio sessions. For outdoor sessions, many locations require dogs to remain on a leash and that all waste be picked up and properly disposed of.

What should we wear for our family photos?

After booking, I will provide guidance to help coordinate outfits that photograph beautifully while reflecting your family's style.

What if my children do not cooperate?

Do not worry. Children do not need to sit perfectly still to create beautiful family photos. My approach combines traditional portraits with natural interactions to capture genuine expressions and connections. If your little one needs a break, we give them a break.

Do you photograph extended families?

Yes. Extended family sessions are available. Please look at the Ultimate package above and feel free to contact me for details and pricing based on the size of your group.

Do you photograph couples and anniversaries?

Absolutely. Family and couples sessions are perfect for engagements, anniversaries, empty nesters, and every stage of life in between.
