About me

A portrait of Ida Taing, the portrait family photographer based in Fort Collins, Colorado and serving the greater Denver, & Boulder areas.

I’m Ida Taing, a portrait photographer.

family portrait photographer serving the greater sacramento area.

I unofficially adopted my first digital camera by way of using it too much. It belonged to my brother, and then it was mine. My first subject was the family house cat. I've since upgraded my gear and have continued the photography habit, especially while traveling or hiking. It wasn't until I started consciously taking more photos of my own child that I began to feel like there was a real drive for my photography. Time will pass regardless, and I wanted to be able to look back on as much as I could. I thought, maybe other people want this, too.


Once I started taking pictures of other people and families, I found real joy in their joy... during the photoshoots and when they received their collection of memories. With portrait photography, I'm all about images that are characteristic of warmth and personality. Particularly with family portraits, I want them to be distinctive of joy and emotion.


The wonderful feedback that I get from families after their portrait photoshoot gives me that amazing, warm fuzzy feeling and motivates me to keep on doing this.


I want to create amazing portraits for you, too. Contact me today and we'll get started on capturing memories you can look back on.

She has an incredible eye for creating photos that feel both candid and beautifully composed. The entire session felt less like a traditional photo shoot and more like just a fun day out in nature. The photos have this effortless, in-the-moment quality that perfectly reflects the essence of our family. From the way she framed each shot to her attention to detail, it was clear she has a true understanding of working with natural light and making the most of the surrounding environment.

Ida got the most amazing photos of our family during a recent photoshoot. She was so great at wrangling our family of 4 plus our dog and really captured some beautiful moments. She had given us some location options in advance so I was able to coordinate our outfits for the landscape and it worked out perfectly.


She was so patient with our young kids and it all felt very easy and natural. It's not always easy getting a 2-year old to smile!


I am absolutely in love with our photos and can't wait to share them with friends and family!
