Sometimes Photographs Reveal the Feelings // ft. Morgan Rae Cowley

I'll post about this in more detail later this month or next, but I'll mention it now. Photography isn't just a hobby or side job to me. Photographing feelings is a significant way I thrive.

Depression is a foe of many faces for me, and the past few weeks of winter have woken it from a deep slumber. Over the weekend I photographed this particular image of model Morgan Cowley at a group photo shoot I cohosted over the weekend. Then tonight while sorting through the collection of photographs I discovered this capture, stopped scrolling through, and stared through teary eyes.

Maybe you don't feel anything when you see this image; that's okay. Maybe you don't even like it. That's okay too. To me, today, right now, this photograph represents a fleeting moment of wonder and hope from inside an empty room. Something wonderful and unexpected on the other side of the glass. A thought or a idea emerging from the clouds. A feeling.

Sometimes feelings are put into photographs, and sometimes photographs reveal the feelings.

What does photography do for you?

Knights, Lights, and Utah Renaissance Faire Portraits

2025 - Mona, Utah  |   Bringing a photo studio to the Utah Renaissance Festival felt a little like smuggling a spaceship into the Middle Ages. My backdrop went up between fairy wings and falconers, and my lights hummed next to a booth selling turkey legs the size of a toddler. No one seemed confused. The studio worked like a magnet. People in velvet gowns, plastic armor, and fairy wings wandered over, curious why a fashion shoot was happening in the middle of jousts and kettle corn. One by one, they stepped in. It was fast, chaotic, and a little theatrical — corsets and capes catching the light like it was a red-carpet event, except the carpet was hay and the soundtrack was bagpipes. Some came for dramatic portraits. Others just wanted to see what fairy wings looked like under studio lighting (spoiler: excellent). Everyone left with the same surprise: they looked like they’d been photographed for a magazine, even if their prop of choice was a foam sword. It's fun drag...

The Lonely Flower, with Kollene Snow | Salt Lake Conceptual Portrait Photographer

Have you ever been stuck trying think of an idea, and then all of a sudden a tiny, fragile glimpse of something appears? In those moments I just want to grab it and hold on so it can't get away, but if you don't let it breathe, that poor little idea gets squished. I wanted this photo shoot with Kollene Snow to illustrate that idea. Like a lonely flower that blooms, sometimes unexpected ideas lead the way to the next one.

I accidentally made 1776 look like Vogue (at Colonial Heritage Festival Utah 2025)

Orem, Utah | Portraits from the Colonial Heritage Festival 2025. It’s not cosplay. It’s commitment. I brought my portrait studio to a place where no one owns a phone—but somehow they all know how to churn butter. Or at least, where the demonstration tent is located. No one broke character. Not even when I Vogue’d them. I didn’t mean to make it look like a 1776 fashion editorial.  Well, just a little. I tracked them down from camp to camp and asked for a photograph in the shade.  One reenactor offered me their “smoldering ye olde stare.” Another adjusted their bonnet like they were being interviewed for the cover of “Wool Weekly.” (I’d read it.) Their colonial confidence gave me colonial confidence. And don’t we all need more of that in our lives?  Dressed as Colonial British officer's wife. The Studio My “studio” is portable, in a wagon—yep—with a backdrop stand held up by a bag of cornmeal. (JK, it's just playground-grade sand.) I carried around one light that many calle...
