Camilynne started shooting landscape photography
with her father and dreamed of traveling the world photographing landscape and

bug. Portraiture has been her specialty ever since. "Capturing personality
in each individual is the most gratifying thing I do" says Camilynne.

photography has been in business since 1999. Though our office is Utah based we
travel nationwide shooting weddings and our unique family Reflections Albums.
Derek Shoenfeld
I started my love affair with photography as a young man in my early twenties. I
happened to come across this wonderful old color "slide" of my father
that was taken when he was about 17 years old. In an instant that single picture
communicated more information about my Dad, and what his life was like back in
1950, than volumes of written words could have. At that moment I had a glimpse
of how powerful a simple photograph can be. I instantly knew that I wanted to
record the important events and people in my life with pictures. What started
out as a simple photographic journal of family and friends slowly grew into a
passion for creating beautiful images. I eventually changed professions and
opened a studio that specializes in creating aesthetic photographs for
advertising and business communications. I love making photographs.
Photographs have the power to enrich our lives and convey so much in just a few
seconds. They inform us, they entertain us, they please the eye and warm our
hearts.

I see it, I feel it, I play with it, I can control it." Born and raised in Poland, he eventually made his way Salt Lake City, his residence for over twenty years.
Michael Schoenfeld
Michael Schoenfeld decided at an early age, that the "different drummer" he couldn't get out of his head required him to do something that no one in his family had attempted, since his great uncle made a handsome living as a public muralist in 18th century Germany. He has been an advertising photographer for more than 25 wonderful years, and has no intention of slowing down anytime soon. His wife and children are the light of his life.
