About
Hi, I'm Katrina
I'm Katrina Thurman, a Provo, Utah photographer who loves joy, love, and the memories that come with them.
How I got started
My biggest inspiration and my favorite hero is my mother, Karla. I love her dearly, and she passed away in 2025. Through the heartbreak of losing her, I can still smile at all the photos we've taken together. Because of the thousands of photos I've saved, I see my mom in every sunset, on every airplane, and in the memories of home. I'm so grateful to have so many photos to remember her, and I want every individual, family, and couple to hold onto the same kinds of moments.
I got married to the love of my life, Camden, in August 2026. I loved my wedding, and after the party had ended and the dust had settled, I felt happy but also melancholy. I wanted the joy from my wedding day to last forever, so I got a camera and started taking pictures. I want to photograph weddings because they can hold some of life's happiest memories. I want to capture every smile, from the small moments to the big ones. I want to be a part of your story and photograph the memories you'll cherish for years to come.
Why I love what I do
Making people laugh and finding joy in the little moments is my favorite thing to do.
I've learned that happiness is a choice we make for ourselves. I want to choose to be happy, and that's why I chose photography. Capturing joy and tender moments creates memories that last forever, and photography is an art I'm determined to keep learning.
I believe that everything happens for a reason. The world is constantly changing, and it's hard to keep up with the fast pace of expectations and work. Through all the chaos, I want to work with people who want to slow down and find time to dance, laugh, and walk together as I freeze their special moments in time.
What a session with me feels like
When I first started, I felt something click into place. I didn't have to take a test, I didn't need years of experience, and I didn't feel awkward. That's exactly how I want my clients to feel. You don't need to know how to pose, and I don't want you to feel awkward. I'll ask you to move around in ways that feel most natural to you.
I'll create inspo for each shoot and bring a friendly, energetic personality. I love working with people and look forward to making friends with anyone I work with. In three words, a session with me will feel creative, comfortable, and magical.
A little more about me
I was born and raised in Colorado Springs with two older sisters, a little brother, and the best parents I could have asked for.
I'm a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and spent 18 months living in New Jersey, speaking Spanish and teaching amazing people about Jesus Christ.
I married the love of my life, Camden, in August 2026!
When I'm not behind the camera, I'm in school at BYU. I absolutely love spending time with friends and family. Traveling is my passion, and I love discovering new cultures and creating new traditions.
My favorite color is orange, my favorite dessert is ice cream, and my favorite fruit-colored sunset is passion fruit mango with a dash of raspberry.
