Sports Photography
Your athletic journey should be captured with the same intensity and dedication you bring to every game, match, or meet. As a Western Colorado sports photographer, I specialize in creating dynamic portraits that showcase both your athletic ability and personal style. Whether you’re sprinting down the track, commanding the wrestling mat, or celebrating a game-winning play, we’ll create powerful images that highlight your competitive spirit and athletic achievements. These aren’t just photos for your yearbook – they’re lasting memories of your high school sports career that celebrate your commitment, showcase your abilities, and capture the pride of representing your school in Montrose, Telluride, and across Western Colorado.
I love to create vibrant, authentic moments for your most memorable days.

EXCELLENTTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We hired Julien for our 20th anniversary pictures in Telluride, and he was absolutely incredible! He has such a great eye for capturing natural moments while also helping with just the right amount of direction so the photos look polished but not posed. The final photos exceeded our expectations—they’re vibrant and timeless. We couldn’t be happier and are so grateful to Julien for helping us celebrate our 20th year in such a special way. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer in Telluride or the surrounding area!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What a wonderful experience! Julien is the most talented photographer. He was unbelievably flexible with our needing to change locations last minute. He made my daughter feel comfortable we got the most professional photographs. These look more like a magazine photo shoot than senior pics. You won’t be disappointed!!! Would 100% book again.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Julien not only captured our surprise engagement photos out near Telluride, he also traveled to Golden, CO to take our wedding photos as well. It was such a full circle experience. Julien is extremely responsive, professional and cheeky (which we loved on our wedding day). We are so excited to see the full album of pictures he captured from our wedding as well know his work is beyond extraordinary!!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Working with Julien was truly one of the highlights of our engagement. He helped make my plan absolutely perfect—from hiking with us to a secluded, private waterfall to spending over two hours capturing epic mountain views in Telluride. What stood out most was his genuine support and passion for making sure we loved every picture. He welcomed our ideas, guided us through different poses, and even showed us previews along the way to ensure we were happy with how everything was turning out. His creativity, professionalism, and attention to detail turned our vision into reality and gave us photos that we will treasure forever. If you’re looking for someone who not only takes incredible photos but also makes the entire experience comfortable, fun, and memorable, Julien Kibler is the one to book! We couldn’t recommend him enough!! We plan on booking him for all our upcoming future photo sessions!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My fiancé and I can not express out gratitude and happiness we experienced during our special engagement proposal along with an afternoon engagement session. Every moment of this surprise engagement was captured. Perfection perfection perfection I wouldn’t have changed a thing! Julien can do it all! Julien’s patience, expertise, wardrobe color advice, and couple positioning for that perfect photo was on point. Julien also has an off-roading vehicle which allowed for us to go to the perfect mountainous spot for our photos. Any photo style you are looking for Julien is your person. TRUST ME I would say I am a lot to handle (future bridezilla) and I will be using Julien for all mine and my fiancé future pictures as the match up us and photographer couldn’t have been better. My fiancé hates photos but Julien made the session a breeze for him and his suggestions on positioning were spot on. Julien also does videos as well, and I can’t wait to experience that session #futurewedding #weddingvideographyPosted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Julien was absolutely amazing from start to finish! We contacted him and told him we wanted an adventure to a top of a mountain for our engagement pictures and he more than delivered. From the first conversation we knew it would be perfect! He is so passionate and loves what he does which you can see from the pictures. We spent hours getting to know Julien on our hike and genuinely felt like we were hanging out with a good friend. Not only is he incredibly talented, he is so fun, flexible, easy going with a clear vision! We were raving about Julien before we even saw the pictures. And WOW did the pictures turn out AMAZING!! WOW all around - we could not recommend him enough.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Julien was absolutely amazing to work with! From choosing our location to the final execution of our elopement, it was a dream. We couldn’t have asked for a more intimate and tailored experience! We can’t wait to visit again and have him take our anniversary pictures next year.🤍Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Julien was wonderful as our elopement photographer! He was always quick to respond to my million questions and location ideas in the months leading up to our arrival in CO. I was confident he’d choose the best area for our photos and blown away when we saw them in person, as well as when we saw our photos! I highly recommend Julien Kibler Studio for all your photography needs.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Seriously incredible experience. On short notice (less than a week) Julian helped take my original proposal plan and elevate it to another level. Amazing communication, amazing shots, amazing flexibility. She and I got a memory that we’ll remember and have documented forever all thanks to them. :-). 10/10, would recommendPosted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

FAQ.
The best time to schedule is during your active season when you have access to your uniform and equipment. Book at least 2-3 weeks in advance to ensure we can coordinate around your practice and game schedule.
Bring your uniform(s), all relevant equipment, and any team gear you’d like to include. Multiple jerseys (home/away) can create variety in your photos. Don’t forget things like letterman jackets or awards if you’d like to incorporate them.
We can shoot at your home field, court, or athletic facility. I also have access to several locations that provide dramatic backdrops for athletic portraits while still highlighting your sport.
Sports sessions typically last 90 minutes, giving us time to capture both action shots and posed portraits with different equipment and poses.
Yes! While individual sessions are most common, you can coordinate with teammates for group shots or even split a session with a fellow athlete.
I have professional lighting equipment specifically for indoor sports photography, allowing us to create dramatic portraits even in challenging gym lighting conditions.
I use specialized equipment and techniques to freeze motion and capture key moments. We’ll combine posed action shots with traditional portraits to showcase your athletic abilities.
Come in your full uniform with any alternate jerseys or practice gear you’d like to include. Bring athletic shoes appropriate for your sport and any protective equipment you typically use.
While these sessions focus on individual portraits and posed action shots, I can also be hired separately for game coverage and action photography.
Based in Montrose, I primarily photograph in Western Colorado, including Telluride and the surrounding San Juan Mountain region. I’m happy to travel to your preferred location within this area.
