Portrait Photographers in Layton, UT

I'm a portrait and action photographer with experience capturing everything from fast-paced events to intimate, expressive moments. I began with pet photography and mountain bike races, and now regularly work with clients to create bold, high-quality images. Whether shooting outdoors or in studio-style settings, I bring a calm, confident presence and a commitment to delivering photos that exceed expectations.

Let me introduce myself, My name is Ceza and I am from Poland. I have been taking photos since 2010 and my biggest passion is outdoors. I love taking photos of people using natural life and the outdoor setting. I first listen to your stories and then we create the right environment and atmosphere where you will feel safe, beautiful and comfortable. Notes to self was created with an intention of making photographs a way of expressing self love and the beauty that sometimes stays dormant in us and throughout the photography we let our light shine and make ourselves feel beautiful and vibrant. The main purpose of taking photos is to have fun and to feel at ease- and this is always what I aim for during all the photography sessions I offer. So whether it is an engagement photoshoot, couples portrait or a self discovery session, I make sure the outcome is radiating and full of breathtaking photographs that you will want to print and hang all over your house and share with the rest of the world.

With 300+ weddings, 500+ family portraits and engagements, and 250+ real estate/commercial jobs under my belt, I have been able to build a business from the ground up while making sure every single client I work with has felt a personal experience and ended up completely satisfied with the final product. I feel like I've been able to achieve a balance of high quality work for a great price and am happy to work with all types of payment and financial situations. I have a tremendous amount of experience and passion that I know will be passed on and seen in your final photos. I like to be as personable as possible with my clients to allow them to be as comfortable as possible in front of the camera. Photography is and has always been my biggest passion outside of my studies. I was constantly being encouraged to start shooting engagements, weddings, headshots, etc. and eventually made the leap. I absolutely love what I do, and take great pride in my customers loving what my camera and I produce!

My love for photography started with Polaroids and throwaway cameras—just a kid chasing light and laughter, snapping goofy outtakes of myself, family and friends. I didn’t know it then, but I was quietly collecting the magic in all the ordinary moments. In 2009, I picked up my first “big girl” camera to freeze time with my own kids, and honestly? I’ve been chasing those beautiful little in-betweens ever since. Fast forward and I’m still obsessed with the preservation of fleeting, mundane moments. I’m here to document your life, not stage it. Whether it’s the quiet in-between glances of your wedding day, the spontaneous laughter (or meltdowns) of a family session, or the everyday beauty of your lifestyle moments, my aim is simple: to tell your story honestly. My style is deeply photojournalistic, rooted in a love for the beauty that exists in the real and the unrehearsed. I believe the most powerful images are the ones that aren't posed—they're felt. I chase emotion, not perfection. I look for the subtle, fleeting moments: the nervous breath before “I do,” the tear that escapes during a toast, the wind catching a child’s hair mid-giggle. I lean into natural light, honest composition, and the beauty of imperfection. Every frame is crafted to feel raw, timeless, and completely you.
