Get To Know Your Photographer Behind The Lens

Hi, I’m Karisa. I’m a Utah native who loves capturing real, authentic moments through photography. There’s something about Utah’s stunning landscapes that makes every shoot feel a little more magical, and I feel lucky to use them as a backdrop for my work.

When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll usually find me outdoors — hiking, paddleboarding, cycling, or lifting weights. I’m also a total foodie, either trying new recipes at home or exploring local flavors while I travel.

I fell in love with photography back in 2007 during a high school yearbook class, armed with a simple point-and-shoot. By 2010, I had my first DSLR, and I’ve been hooked ever since. What keeps me passionate is the people I meet and the stories I get to help tell.

I love being the hype woman cheering clients on, listening to their stories, and capturing milestones — whether it’s an engagement, wedding, maternity session, or welcoming a new family member. It’s an honor to document love, growth, and joy at every stage of life.

At Karisa Marie Photography, I want every client to feel safe, welcomed, and celebrated. I proudly embrace diversity in all forms — every size, race, gender, and sexuality. My goal is simple: to capture your story exactly as you are, with honesty and heart.

Whether it’s a candid laugh, a breathtaking view, or the raw emotion of a joyful celebration, I aim to preserve these moments in timeless photographs. Let’s connect and create images that feel like you.
