Terrell & Christeena Moffett

Terrell Moffett has been photographing people and places for more than 25 years.  Growing up on the Wasatch Front in Northern Utah, he developed a passion for nature, and spent a great deal of time photographing in the Ogden and Cache Valley areas.  While working on his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree at Utah State University, he turned his interests to photographing people in their own environments.  In 1994, Terrell opened Moffett Photography in Nampa, Idaho, specializing in location portraiture.  The ensuing years have brought much recognition for the accomplishments of both the studio and his personal photographic work.

While building a very successful studio, Terrell's passion remained in the landscape.  "I love the outdoors and creating images that portray my vision of the world around me.  I want the viewer to feel the beauty within an image.  Photography is not just about creating pretty pictures, but to create images that invoke a feeling. There should be an energy pulling you into the image."

Terrell's photographs are created from many different camera formats, from large and medium format film cameras to high end digital SLR's.  The prints are all made personally to ensure that his creative vision is followed through to the final image. "The camera is only the starting point of photographic creativity" he say's. "I know what I want when I click the shutter, the vision is there, and the only way to get the result I want and see is to carry out the entire process myself.  This way the image is truly mine."

The only thing more rewarding than creating a masterpiece for Terrell is teaching others how to create their own.  He has taught on many levels from high school to professional workshops.  Currently he does individual, one on one tutoring in photography, composition and Photoshop.  He is also preparing to take his teaching online. Check back often for updates on what classes are being offered.

Christeena has developed her own photographic vision that can be quite awe-inspiring.  While her primary camera is a "point and shoot," her images are far from the common snapshot. She is living proof that a camera does not make a photographer, but that a skilled photographer can use any camera available as a tool to create a masterpiece.  She definitely has a vision, and has learned how to push a point and shoot style camera to its limits in order to achieve it.  Her favorite subjects to photograph are sunsets and clouds.

Terrell and Christeena have been married for more than 17 years and reside in Nampa, Idaho.  They have 5 wonderful kids who keep them very busy.  They love to spend their free time camping, biking and fly-fishing in the beautiful mountains of the Northwest.
