My name is Claire, which I’ve always loved because it means brightness, light, and clarity. These are all essential elements of photography, so I like to think I was destined to be a photographer from the start.

I was born in France but grew up in the States; I now live in Utah (and travel wherever my work takes me). My passion for photography began when I acquired my first camera: I was thirteen, and it was a hand-me-down from my dad. I immediately started taking pictures of everything and anything. I haven’t stopped since.

I earned a BFA in photography from Brigham Young University and spent several years working with and learning from renowned photographers, including Jonathan Canlas. While still in school, I started my own business so that I could begin doing the type of work I love right away. Photography makes me happier than just about anything, and I’ve found that I can use it to make other people happy too.

My goal is to create bright and clean images that showcase the little (and big) things that make you you. Through my lens, I love discovering and highlighting the meaningful details, subtleties of expression, and distinctive interactions that make each wedding, family, or individual totally unique.

My name is Claire, and I’d love to be your photographer.
