The Why Behind Macey Snelson Photography: Celebrating Confidence and Authenticity
As a senior portrait photographer in Boise, I often get asked, “Why did you choose photography?” The answer lies in a journey of self-discovery, a passion for storytelling, and a mission to empower others to see the beauty and strength they already possess.
Finding My Voice Through the Lens
Growing up, I often felt like my voice didn’t matter. Like many, I learned to stifle my thoughts, afraid to take up space. But as a teenager, I found a way to express myself without words: through the lens of a camera.
Photography allowed me to tell stories, capturing the light and small moments that stood out to me. It became my way of showing others how I saw the world—and, more importantly, how I saw them. This passion grew into a calling: to help others feel seen, celebrated, and confident in their own skin.
Today, I’m honored to bring this vision to life in Boise and the surrounding areas.
