What to expect during your session…
Since I started my photography journey with documenting my own family during COVID in 2020, I continue to use a documentary & storytelling approach with my clients sessions! Documentary style photography is very similar to lifestyle photography, however, they differ in the fact that documentary isn’t posed like lifestyle. That being said, I do offer guidance to my clients during sessions, but I am not overly strict in the way that I want my clients to interact or pose, ESPECIALLY children. I love seeing the natural imaginations of children come to life through photography, and the only way this is possible is if I let them somewhat take the lead.
During your session I will give you prompts and ideas that will push you in the right direction, such as: “let’s have the kids play red light green light, mom and dad will call out the colors!” Or “let’s have you two dance like you did on your wedding day!” when working with a couple. I find that offering directive prompts allows for more authentic interactions between families and couples. Giving your photos the authentic and timeless look you are looking for! I love to incorporate you/your families interests into sessions. We can customize your session to look however you want, in any location you can think of, as long as it is representative of the story that you are wanting to tell! The creativity that come from this is endless! Let’s chat about what story YOU and your family want to tell!

I am a Documentary Photographer based out of Northern Utah, specifically Weber County right on the edge of Davis County, and I specialize in family photography, and personality sessions such as: senior photography sessions, branding photography sessions, or child portrait photography. It is very important to me that I capture the true essence of your family’s most important milestone moments. Fortunately, we are blessed to live somewhere full of so many different STUNNING backdrops. We are truly fortunate to have such beautiful backdrops right in our backyards. From the mountains, to the “beaches” of Northern Utah, I’m here to find you a backdrop that fits your dreams.

I am happy to travel all over our beautiful state of Utah, as I realize some of Utah’s most precious locations are not isolated to the Wasatch Front area. However, please note that doing sessions in locations that are over 20 miles from my home in Weber County will require an additional travel fee. But the beauty of documentary photography, is that your story can take us just about anywhere! family photography, family photographer
From a comfortable in home documentary session in your pajamas for a family photography session, to an elegant session in a studio for a branding photography session, or a senior photography session at your child’s high school- I am committed to providing you with beautiful images that grab all the most important details of your family. Let’s chat and talk about what location seems best for you!

"Maribeth was so wonderful to work with from the moment I reached out to her throughout the entire process. She was responsive to texts and willing to do whatever I wanted to make this experience everything I wanted it to be. She traveled to Antelope Island and made our evening memorable and fun, even though it was just a photo shoot. The pictures were delivered quickly, and they are beautiful. I highly recommend her for whatever you are considering a photographer for!"
