Inclusive & Accessible Photography in Utah
When I say “all are welcome in front of my lens,” I truly mean that from the bottom of my heart.
As an inclusive Utah photographer, I’ve had the privilege of photographing people with different bodies, brains, abilities, communication styles, and ways of experiencing the world. From LGBTQ+ couples, transgender and nonbinary clients, and plus-size clients to neurodivergent adults and kids, Deaf families, and ambulatory wheelchair users, I’ve learned that there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to making people feel comfortable in front of a camera.
One of my absolute favorite parts of this job is getting to know the people I’m photographing, figuring out what makes them them, and creating an experience where they can actually enjoy being in front of the camera. Maybe that means a slower-paced, sensory-friendly session for an autistic or ADHD client, extra breaks, adjusting how I give direction, or spending a little extra time planning before we ever meet. Maybe it means finding a wheelchair-accessible location in Salt Lake City or beyond, with easy parking, smooth paths, and nowhere you’ll feel rushed. Whatever it looks like, I’m happy to work with you to figure it out.
So whether you have specific accessibility needs, feel a little nervous about being photographed, or have simply never felt like you quite fit the mold, there’s room for you here. That includes:
- Neurodivergent adults and children (autism, ADHD, sensory sensitivities, and more)
- Deaf and hard of hearing families
- Wheelchair users and clients with mobility needs
- LGBTQ+ couples, individuals, and families, including transgender and nonbinary clients
- Plus-size and body-diverse clients
You don’t need to fit a particular mold, move a certain way, communicate a certain way, or show up with a perfectly polished version of yourself. You deserve to be seen and have photos that feel like you, and I’m here to help make that happen.
