Hi, friend! I’m Marina, a creative portrait photographer based in Salt Lake City, Utah. I create educational resources for photographers eager to find their style, make their work more creative, and reel in dream clients that trust their vision.
Throughout my life, my obsession with creating has gone through different phases - from making magazine collages to sewing my clothes - to eventually discovering photography and pursuing it as a career.
After over 10 years of practice, studying photography in college, and working in-house for brands, I’m now lucky enough to bring my ideas to reality as a full time portrait photographer, creating imagery for clients and for fun (just like you!).

Taking photos is just one piece of the puzzle when it comes to bringing a creative vision to life. The magic lies in everything that happens before you press the shutter—the creative direction, styling, set design, and the story you want your work to tell.
When I shifted my mindset to take ownership of the entire process, not just as a photographer but as a creative leader on set, my work transformed. Every decision became intentional, and that’s what elevated my artistry.
My mission is to help you unlock that same potential in your photography. Through detailed explanations, technical tutorials, behind-the-scenes demonstrations, and full creative process breakdowns, I want to guide you toward creating work that truly captivates.
If you’ve ever felt stuck—whether it’s struggling to balance your business, social media, or creative spark—you’re not alone. I’ve been there, and I’m here to help. I’ve designed resources to support you on your journey to building a photography business that not only fulfills your artistic vision but also thrives financially.
