About Conor Jensen

I’m a portrait photographer drawn to honest moments and unforced images. I’m based in the Kamas/Park City area and work with clients throughout Summit County and surrounding northern Utah regions.

I’ve been working with photography since 2008, with a focus on portraiture and people. Over time, my work has become less about perfect presentation and more about presence. I’m interested in how people actually are, not how they think they’re supposed to look.

Much of my approach is shaped by patience. I don’t rush sessions, and I don’t expect people to perform for the camera. I take time to listen, to observe, and to create an environment where people can settle into themselves. That’s where the most meaningful photographs tend to happen.

How I Work

I approach photography in a simple, attentive way.

I pay close attention to light, environment, and how people naturally carry themselves. I offer guidance when it’s helpful and step back when it’s not. Every person and every session is different, so I adjust my approach as we go.

You don’t need to perform or have a plan. The process is flexible and responsive, allowing moments to unfold naturally rather than forcing them.

My focus is on creating photographs that feel honest and grounded, without over-directing or rushing the experience.

Why Memoir Photography Matters to Me

As people get older, attention naturally shifts toward children and grandchildren. Photographs follow that same pattern. Too often, parents, grandparents, and elders aren’t photographed thoughtfully until it feels too late.

Memoir photography is my way of honoring the people who shaped us and continue to matter deeply, even when the spotlight has moved elsewhere. It’s about preserving presence, character, and the small details that don’t show up in typical portraits.

This work isn’t about nostalgia or perfection. It’s about recognition.

Beyond Portraits

In addition to working with people, I create fine art landscape photographs inspired by the places I live and spend time in. These images are available as museum-quality prints and reflect the same values that guide my portrait work: patience, attention, and respect for what’s already there.

A Simple Approach

I don’t believe meaningful photography needs to be loud or complicated. It needs time, care, and a willingness to pay attention.

If you’re looking for photographs that feel thoughtful, grounded, and true to who you are or who someone is to you, I’d love to start a conversation with you.
