I became the photographer I was searching for as a mom—someone who notices the quiet, meaningful parts of everyday life that so often slip by. The in-between moments. The routines, the connection, the way home feels in this season. Now, I help Utah families preserve their real, honest moments so they can hold onto what matters most long after this chapter has passed.
hello, i'm vanessa
this is how i celebrate childhood, motherhood & the family
how it started
I’ve been photographing families for over a decade, but becoming a mom reshaped the way I approach family photography. What began as a love for capturing images grew into a calling to document real life—the quiet, meaningful moments that often go unnoticed. As a Salt Lake City in-home family photographer, I bring my own experience as a mother into every session, creating a calm, natural space where families can be themselves. My work focuses on natural light, authentic connection, and preserving the season of family life you’re living right now.
