My name is Deb Cope, and I'm the woman behind the camera. I've been a lover of photography for as long as I can remember. All of my high school babysitting and Burger King paychecks went to cameras, developing film, and bonnie bell chapstick. I have spent the last 13+ years learning from some of the most wonderful creatives, to build my craft.

I grew up in a small town north of Pittsburgh, and have lived in Southern Utah for 10 years now. I am a mom of 4 amazing kids, and have been married to my awesome partner for coming up on 17years! I love capturing people in their element, with the people whom they love-or happen to be tolerating 🤣 at the moment. As a mom to kids and teens living with Autism, ADHD, and anxiety disorders, and a Dragon Mom. I believe strongly that representation matters, and I will work hard to create a safe space for you and your children to interact so that we can capture authentic moments with which to fill your gallery.

“This was such a fun photo shoot. As soon as I met the photographer I felt like she was a lifelong friend. I felt so comfortable and had so much fun. I ADORE the pictures, it’s been years since I got a candid that actually feels like me. Was amazingly LGBTQ friendly and felt like she had so much fun taking our photos.”
