Hey it’s me,

Cherie Pearson

Just Me

Hey, from behind the lens! As you can guess from my creative business name, I'm Cherie Pearson ​(pronounced Sha-ree), but I answer to any version you call me. I'm a lover of all things sweet and ​carb-filled—bread, candy, and cookies are my go-to treats.

I tied the knot with my hubby back in 2006, and we call Enoch, Utah our home (it's in Southern ​Utah near Cedar City, for those who haven’t heard of it).

Photography Journey

My journey into photography began with a heartfelt purpose. Facing infertility struggles, my ​husband and I started saving up for InVitro, and it was during this challenging time where my ​photography business found its start. Each click of the camera became not just about capturing ​moments for others, but a step forward into building our own family and memories.

While I dabbled in a few formal photography classes in the past, most of what I know comes from ​hands-on experience, online tutorials, and a healthy dose of self-teaching. I've always been a ​sucker for anything creative, whether it's designing or diving into some good old DIY projects. You ​know, the classic "Why buy it when I can make it?" philosophy, even if it ends up costing me four ​times as much in craft supplies and a million hours to make.

My Family Life

After a rollercoaster ride with infertility and pregnancy losses, we were blessed with three amazing ​kiddos who keep us on our toes. I love watching each of them learn and grow into awesome little ​people. Let me be real though, Balancing family, a day job at a local bank, and this photography ​business has been no small feat. There have been hurdles and personal trials that made it tough to ​keep up with my photography goals over that past few years. But ultimately, what keeps me ​snapping pics is that it’s my happy place, something that brings me joy and fulfillment—it's the ​thing I do just for me.

In a Nutshell

So, that’s me in a nutshell. I'm blessed with an amazing family and a journey full of twists and turns. ​I began my career as a draftsman, designing and drawing houses while studying engineering. ​Eventually, I found myself working at a local bank, where I’ve been for the past 12 years. Along the ​way, my passion for photography blossomed into a business that I truly love.
