This is how I celebrate motherhood.
As a mom of four myself, I know how powerful it is to have photos that reflect the love your family lives every day — beautifully, honestly, and without pressure. These sessions are how I celebrate families and motherhood.
HI,
I'M VANESSA
AND I AM SO EXCITED TO FREEZE TIME WITH YOU!
You are a busy mom. Family pictures should not be stressful! I am here to guide your through the entire process. Your only job is to focus on just how much you love your family. I'll do the rest.
Over a decade of photographing young families has taught me how to bring a calming presence to every session. Our time together will be flexible and easy going. I am known for capturing real connection and providing wall-worthy galleries that feel like your real life.
If you want photos that feel like your family's life at this exact moment in time, let's talk.

I see beauty in the chaos and connection in the crazy.
I know how loud, busy, and beautifully exhausting life with young kids can be.
I also know that buried inside the chaos are the moments you’ll want to remember most.
What is it like to work with me?
As a fellow mama, my goal is
to make this experience stress-free and enjoyable.
Family photos can feel stressful—outfits, the house, the kids’ moods. But this will feel different.
We’ll spend our time doing what naturally makes your family happy. Your kids will feel celebrated, and you’ll see how easy a session can be.
As a Salt Lake City family photographer, I bring a calm, steady presence. Sessions are flexible, low-pressure, and true to real family life.
If someone needs a break, we’ll pause. If things shift, we’ll adjust. My goal is always to capture connection in a way that feels natural and relaxed.
You just focus on being with your people — I’ll take care of everything else.
