Get To Know Your Photographer Behind The Lens

I’m Karisa, a Utah native with a passion for capturing life’s authentic moments through my lens. Inspired by Utah’s stunning landscapes, I feel lucky to use these incredible backdrops to create beautiful, memorable photos. Beyond photography, I’m active in the outdoors, with hobbies like hiking, paddleboarding, weightlifting, and cycling. And as a foodie, I’m always either trying new recipes at home or tasting local flavors while I travel.

My journey with portrait photography began in 2007, armed with a point-and-shoot camera in a high school yearbook class. By 2010, I upgraded to my first DSLR, and from that moment, I was hooked. My passion for photography is fueled by the meaningful connections I make with my clients. Here’s what makes my work so fulfilling:

• Being the hype woman cheering my clients on
• Listening to and celebrating their unique stories
• Capturing milestones that range from engagements and weddings to maternity shoots and the joy of welcoming a new family member

For me, it’s an honor to be part of these moments and to document love, growth, and joy at every stage.

At Karisa Marie Photography, I’m dedicated to creating a safe and welcoming space for all. I proudly celebrate diversity in every form, embracing all sizes, races, genders, and sexualities. My mission is simple: to capture the beauty and authenticity of your story exactly as you are.

Whether it’s the laughter in a candid portrait, the breathtaking views of a landscape, or the raw emotion of a joyful celebration, I’m committed to preserving these moments in timeless photographs. So let’s connect and capture life’s most precious memories, together!
