Hello, I'm Chris Waldron, owner/photographer of Waldrons Photography. In 1984, I started my photography business in Dallas, TX. Three years later I chose to move the business to Colorado Springs where I wanted to live and ski the mountains. Growing into a full time endeavor, my wife, Janet, joined as business manager in 1992 and we have been building the business together since. We are happy to say that we stay on the cutting edge of photography learning from the nation's leading photographers year-after-year. We keep up with the latest photography techniques and equipment. That means you get the best there is to offer in the world of portrait photography.

Go 3 blocks, turn right at Garnet when you see the Waldrons Photography sign in the yard. The studio looks like a home not a commercial building.
