I am passionate about documenting people in their element and capturing all the natural, intimate, silly, and raw emotions so that you can hold onto your cherished moments forever. 


If you’re ready to move on from the camera-shy, posed smile and have pictures that represent you, then you’re in the right place. 


Hi! I’m Anneli Howells, a Southern California native and now a Utah local.

My mission as a photographer is to provide you with an enjoyable experience that results in pictures full of genuine laughter and authentic emotion. 

I wasn’t always fulfilling my dream of documenting life through a camera lens. But thanks to a second-hand camera from Facebook Marketplace and lots of friends to practice taking pictures of, I quickly found myself shooting weddings and family photos.

And now, I get to experience the joy of connecting with incredible people and taking pictures of both their simple moments and monumental life events.

I’m all about…

  • Making this a great experience for you! I’ve got prompts that will make you blush and giggle, or bust up laughing. Either way, it’ll end with you feeling totally comfortable and me snapping some stunning shots that you’ll fall in love with every time you see them.

  • Capturing genuine emotion.

    All of the emotions—joyful, goofy, intimate, serious.

  • Being your friend. This isn’t just about taking some photos and sending you on your way. I want to create a friendship that starts from the moment we meet and lasts long beyond when the last picture is taken.

  • Traveling! Not located in Utah or thinking about doing a destination wedding? Count me in!

Some client love

  • “Anneli exceeded my expectations and then some! She is an incredible photographer. She put me at such ease, listened to what it was I was wanting and took such care to take the perfect photos.”

  • “Anneli managed to capture some beautiful photos of our little family despite our fussy one-month-old and my “picture taking hating” husband! She is a great photographer and we enjoyed working with her!”
