Hi, I’m Vanessa Gonzalez — the heart and eye behind the camera.
Photography has been part of my life for over 17 years, and every step of the journey has been about more than just taking pictures. I started my career in Tucson, Arizona, and today I’m based in Utah (with exciting new adventures soon to come in Raleigh). Wherever I go, my passion stays the same: capturing people in their most authentic, beautiful moments.
I specialize in weddings, seniors, families, and boudoir photography. Each of these tells a different kind of story — whether it’s the joy of “I do,” the milestone of senior year, the love and connection of family, or the empowerment and confidence of a boudoir session. No matter what I’m photographing, my goal is always to create images that make you feel something.
For me, it’s never been about stiff poses or perfect smiles. It’s about the sparkle in your eye when you laugh, the quiet in-between moments, and the little details that make you you. I truly love connecting with people, helping them feel comfortable, and turning that connection into timeless photographs.
At the end of the day, photography is more than my career — it’s my calling. I consider it a gift to witness life through my lens and to give others the chance to see themselves in a new, beautiful light.
So whether you’re looking for bold, joyful, intimate, or heartfelt images, I would love to be the one to capture your story.
