in home family portraits

Where fine art meets your everyday.

You don’t need a studio or a scenic backdrop to create something beautiful.
As a Salt Lake City family photographer, I help you capture the real and the right now — the light in your kitchen, the way they fit on your lap, the feel of your home at this exact stage.


Because these days might be ordinary, but they’re the ones you’ll miss the most. Let’s preserve how it feels — before it changes.

MEET
VANESSA

I am a Salt Lake City family photographer and mom to three girls and my little sidekick– my only boy. I have been photographing families since 2013 and have loved every family I have had the opportunity to get to know.

 

I understand exactly how crazy, loud, tiring and truly wonderful having a young family is. I see beauty in the chaos and connection in the crazy. I love being a mom more than anything and that love is what drives my photography.

the Process

Step 01

Fill out my contact form on my website​. I will call you within 2 business days and we will discuss your vision, as well as any questions you might have about investment and what it is like to work with together

Step 02

When you are ready to book, I will send my client contract for you to sign and an invoice to secure your pre-session consultation and session dates

​​

Step 03

Complete my client questionnaire to pinpoint which details matter most and how we will prioritize our time together

​Step 04

In your home or via zoom, we will discuss your questionnaire and make a personalized plan for your session. We will also carefully go over all pricing and ordering details. You will choose your collection at this point

Step 05

On our session date, we will spend up to 3 hours doing all of your family's favorite things. We will move at your family's pace. Our time will be relaxed and easy going. Before I leave, we will schedule your in-home ordering appointment

Step 06

In your home, we will meet and you will see your completed gallery and choose which images you will use for your fine art  products in your collection and any à la carte products

Step 07

Within 3 Weeks after our session, you will receive the link to your online gallery. 

You will  receive your premium album with your session's highlights 3-4 weeks later. Additional fine art products ordered will have individual production and delivery timelines.

Let’s capture the moments your heart never wants to forget — with photography that meets your family exactly where you are.

In-home family photography for Salt Lake City families who want to remember the beauty in the chaos, the connection in the quiet, and everything in between.

“Working with Vanessa in our home was wonderful! It was the most stress free photo session we’ve ever done! She really knows how to capture life in the small moments that really matter. It didn’t feel like we were posing, just living our life and enjoying being together.”

- Jill Child

“Having Vanessa in our home felt less like a photo session and more like inviting a dear friend to witness a day in our life. Vanessa is able to capture the quiet magic that can only be experienced at home surrounded by the people most dear to you.”

- Emily Andersen
