In 2016, I quit my career in corporate finance to work on an app I was developing for the rock climbing industry. I wasn't happy in finance and I wanted to be a coder. I wanted to build things and be creative. I had dreams of building the next Strava but for rock climbing, and we were getting some attention in the industry.

If you're looking for the best Denver family photographers, look no further! My clients tell me I'm fun, easy, and comfortable to work with and that's important when it comes to working with families. I love to capture the family dynamic and bring everyone together in a natural, organic way.
My favorite family photos are the ones that show emotion, laughter, and even the tougher moments when your newborn isn't cooperating and you're doing everything you can to get her/him to calm down.Those are the memories you'll cherish forever and I want to capture those so that you can hang them on your walls, send them to loved ones, and look back on those moments and feel the emotion.

Engagement photos are one of my favorites types of photoshoots to do. There is so much freedom in what we can do and I love capturing the candid moments that inevitably come. It's the in-between moments that matter most. We'll do some posed shots but I also want you guys to connect with each other because that's where the real magic happens.
Senior year of high school is a big milestone in a young person's life. I remember having my senior photos done (back in 2003) and there was one photographer in my town that everyone went to. The same old boring poses on the same old boring backgrounds. But, my mom still has those pictures hanging on her walls in their house.

Tim is everything you could want in a photographer! Not only is he extremely talented, but he also is responsive to questions, clear in his fee structure, and friendly & engaging during your session. We were lucky to book with him for my son's senior portraits - which my son was not really looking forward to! We ended the outdoor shoot with my son saying how much he enjoyed it and how glad he was that Tim was our photographer. Highly recommend!

Tim is such a great photographer and overall human being. My family and I had a wonderful time working with him. He was kind, warm, friendly, patient with 2 little kids and a dog and holy smokes the photos are mind blowing. His professionalism and knowledge on locations, sun light and untamed kids really showed through.

Tim is an incredible talent. From finding the perfect location, making us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and delivering photos that we will be sharing for years to come, we couldn't have been happier with the entire experience. Do yourself a favor and book a session with Tim! You won't be disappointed and will be left with beautiful memories!

My daughter found Tim online while looking for an alternative to big studios for her senior year pictures. After seeing his website and portfolio and reading his story, we both knew we found our photographer.
Tim is excellent at communicating, down to earth, punctual, patient, and such a neat guy who knows and loves what he’s doing.
Our photos? Just lovely. We wanted natural shots in a beautiful setting without the staged poses and backgrounds. That’s exactly what he gave us. Everyone says these pictures are hands down better than the big studios and we agree.
Thanks, Tim, for a fun photo

Tim did an amazing job with our family photos. He really did an amazing job in all aspects of photographer -- location and eye for the shot, and he did it all with no edits needed!! He was amazing with our kids and really put together an amazing array of shots. We wanted to lock him in as our personal family photographer, but we figured we'd share. Haha. Definitely highly recommended. Top Quality work for a great price.

You want to work with Tim! Two only things matter in terms of the why- The quality of his work and his price tag! He is great at what he is doing and he is very reasonable! You don't need to pay 1000s of dollar to get 10 images when you get to work with Tim. He is fun to shoot with also, open to your ideas and easy to work with. He did my maternity shoot at week 33, it was hot and sticky but he is so professional and keep his hard work to get me the perfect pictures. Go book Tim when you can!!!!

Tim did AMAZING photographing our wedding. We didn't want the typical wedding bundle of books, prints, and more - Tim was able to work with us to create the perfect package and he seriously did such an amazing job. We have received preview shots and they look better than I could have ever imagined. He has an eye for the shots and executes better than any other wedding photographer I have seen. His quick turn is a huge plus too, especially for wedding pictures, many of my friends didn't get their's back for months.

I wanted something special - a portrait session - for my first solo trip. After some researching I found Tim's website and was immediately drawn to his work. I'm so happy that I went with him and it was such a great experience! Tim is a very talented photographer who is very down to earth and easy to work with. He took the best pictures!! Would highly recommend.

Tim is meticulous and prompt! Positive experience from the start, I met Tim in November of 2017 to discuss if he would be a great fit to photograph our big day... it was comfortable and easy. Tim has an incredible eye for the perfect shot and angle. There must be a reason he is so well reviewed and popular! Our wedding was October 20th and he returned all photos the very next week- simply incredible. We would use Tim again for any special occasion. Thank you, Tim!

I did an internet search for senior photos for my son. Found Tim and I liked his photos. I am so glad I hired him! He made my son feel like real model and captured his cool-guy side and his unique style as well. Tim is amazing at making people of all ages feel comfortable in front of the camera...and I think that's a hard thing to do. I would recommend Tim to anyone looking for crisp, clean, fresh and fun photos. Thanks Tim!

Tim is hands-down the best photographer I've worked with, so if you're in the market for high-quality photos there's no need to keep looking. We live in a digital world, and Tim absolutely took my digital presence to the next level. He effortlessly balances being personable and professional, making you feel like you're just catching up with an old friend who happens to be a maverick with the lens. It's hard not to be comfortable in front of the camera given how cool and collected Tim is behind it. Scheduling was a breeze, the shoot was a blast, and Tim turned around a stunning

You should choose Tim Gillies Photography! We could not have selected a better photographer for our intimate, outdoor, December-in-Colorado wedding ceremony! We are both so very happy with the beautifully-captured photographs we received back from Tim (and delivered promptly)! We had never met Tim before our big day, but I was convinced after seeing his on-line portfolio that his style was exactly what I had in mind for capturing our wedding memories. We're not real comfortable in front of the camera plus we chose a sunny day at high-noon for the outdoor ceremony, but Tim made it so very

Loved working with Tim! I would recommend Tim to anyone. We had a 4 hour photo shoot with 12 instructors at a cycling studio and we got some amazing photos! He is very professional, very detailed oriented, makes everyone feel very comfortable, and super quick and responsive. Loved working with Tim and we will be booking future photo shoots with him for sure!

I 100% recommend Tim for your photography needs! I needed updated Realtor headshots and reached out to Tim because I was so impressed with his portfolio and personal story. He was quick to respond and to get an appointment set up immediately.
Tim is friendly, incredibly professional and fun----within a minute of meeting him, I felt comfortable and ready to rock the photo shoot. He is great about taking your vision and ideas and offering feedback on what will/won't work and giving direction on shots that will best flatter you. Our session lasted about an hour and a half, and the time flew
