adore being a wife and mother. I also take pride in being the best daughter, sister, friend, and photographer that I can be.
You should know that I am here for you too. I'm here to capture you and your family's precious moments. Time waits for no one. As a mother, I enjoy capturing special moments through photography knowing for that one moment I can "freeze" time in a photo that will allow me to remember how I felt in that moment. I'd love the opportunity to do that for you too!
I love this quote by Harvey Mackay, "Time is free, but it's priceless. You can't own it, but you can use it. You can't keep it, but you can spend it. Once you've lost it, you can never get it back." Does it resonate with you too? Let's capture these moments that'll pass before you know it. I can't wait to hear from you! Let's get you on my calendar!
am so excited you're here! If there is one thing you should know about me, it's that I'm very passionate about my family. Everything I do is for them and for their well being. I absolutely

Your BFF Utah Family & Motherhood Photographer
I'm Carissa :)
A snapshot into my life
Simply put, I absolutely adore my family! I am a wife to a patient, loving husband and a mother to the sweetest baby girl. As a family, we love going on outdoor adventures in our beautiful home state of Utah, camping, gardening, reading books together, enjoying family meals around the dinner table, going for walks with our loyal, senior dog Bailey, and enjoying relaxing days at home. Although our family is not perfect, we love that we can tease each other to no end and be raw and vulnerable around each other.

My Favorite Things
I love spending time with my husband binging our favorite TV shows and sipping iced tea after our little one goes to bed. Let's be honest, I'm lucky if I get through one episode without falling asleep, but I do love spending this time with him.
We love our pets! They are part of our family! We currently have two bunnies and a dog. We look forward to adding chickens to the mix in the near future and maybe some other farm animals, but shhh! My husband doesn't know that yet! ;)
Camping
The image to the right was taken at Goblin Valley State Park in Utah. There are so many amazing rock formations here like the one pictured in the photo.
Whether it's enjoying our backyard on a nice summer day, spending the weekend camping in the beautiful Uinta mountains, or exploring our national parks, we love spending time outdoors. We love taking our little family on adventures and letting our little one explore!
My favorite Utah spot is Bear Lake. I absolutely love spending a summer day on the lake either swimming or kayaking and eating the delicious raspberry shakes! I'd love to hear about your favorite places to explore and add them to our bucket list!
Traveling & THe Outdoors
Words cannot express how much I LOVE the family photos that Carissa did for us! She made it so easy and fun!! She was punctual, prepared and took the time to include poses that fit our family's personality. She captured some of the very best expressions on our kid's faces that I absolutely adore. Her pics will be a treasure to us forever!
