In this heartfelt blog post, I share a personal story about how it felt to be fully seen during a family photoshoot—and why that moment changed the way I approach my work as a Utah family photographer. If you’ve ever felt nervous about getting in front of the camera, this post is for you. It’s about presence, connection, and the healing power of intuitive, storytelling photography.

As a photographer who typically prefers the great outdoors, stepping into a studio for a family session was an exciting and refreshing change, especially because it was with my gorgeous sister and her fun-loving family. Their bond and affection are nothing short of heartwarming. Here’s a glimpse into our delightful studio adventure

It was a sunny day and I really wanted to play with all the fun light in their house. They have these beautiful windows in their living room. One of my favorite shots was from outside the house looking in, them smiling and snuggling together through the window.
