When you work with our small team of talented Denver photographers, you receive attentive, personal care you won’t find elsewhere. Every day, each of us here at From the Hip focuses on what we do best and what we’re most passionate about.
For you, this means always having someone to reach out to, having your needs anticipated, and partnering with someone who’s invested in doing amazing work for you. We’re not a revolving door of subcontractors — we’re a tight-knit crew that knows each other’s strengths and cares deeply about every project.
As Denver’s top-rated photography studio, we bring a fine art sensibility to every shoot — whether it’s a wedding in the mountains, a corporate headshot session, or a commercial campaign for a national brand.
Founded in 2009 by Nina de Zayas and her husband. It remains a woman-led, immigrant-owned, small family business.
After meeting in NYC, Nina and Danny earned their fine art degrees and moved to Denver. In 2009, they combined their passion for photography, and From the Hip Photo was born. Its name is a nod to the style of our images: candid, spontaneous, fresh, playful, and vibrant.
Since then, the From the Hip Photo family has grown into the most accomplished crew of visual professionals in Colorado, capturing thousands of sessions and earning more than 350 five-star reviews. Our work has been featured in publications including The New York Times, Forbes, Conde Nast Traveler, and 5280 Magazine.
Every Denver photography session with From the Hip Photo includes:
Direct access to our team before, during, and after your session — no bots, no runaround.
Transparent pricing right here on our site. No surprises, no hidden fees, no bait-and-switch.
Professional editing and retouching of your full gallery of images by our in-house team.
Every image delivered in high resolution, ready for printing, social media, and sharing.
Printing and sharing rights always included — your photos are yours to use however you like.
Photography by our full-time, salaried team — not weekend freelancers or random subcontractors.
Social responsibility is at the core of what we do. Since 2015, 20% of our annual sales go back to supporting groups doing important work within Colorado through pro-bono photo and video services.
Our pro-bono work includes multi-year partnerships with nonprofits including Brent’s Place and The Wayfaring Band. We’ve joined up with survivors of the Aurora theater tragedy, assisted at countless special events and fundraisers, and supported a fertile creative landscape as partners to Denver Film, the Museum of Contemporary Art Denver, and many others.
Our studio is located at 8842 E 47th Ave in Denver, Colorado 80238, in the Northfield area of the Central Park neighborhood. We’re easily accessible from I-70 and offer free parking on-site.
Although many of our sessions are captured out and about on-location, our studio is the perfect hub for headshots and portraits, studio backdrop sessions, product photography, and other projects that benefit from a controlled environment.

Whether you need a photographer for your wedding, your brand, or your family — we’d love to hear from you.
