Big Cottonwood Canyon Fall Pictures
Salt Lake County Family Photographer




Big Cottonwood Canyon Fall Pictures


This area in Big Cottonwood Canyon looks good all year round which makes it a great location for family photography sessions. This location is about 15-20 minutes up from the bottom of Big Cottonwood Canyon. Its right off the side of the road and you can park in the big parking lot. You do have to walk down to the areas, because cars are not allowed to park on the street past the gates. There are some areas where walking on the dirt paths, and up small hills will be necessary to get to certain locations but a lot of it is on paved street so strollers are ok for this spot. During certain times of the year, this location can be very crowded. Since its such a large area, its easy to find spots without people around.

I loved this family photography session with Brooke and Jerry's family. I first met them when I photographed their wedding! Their bridals and wedding were also featured in a wedding magazine! It was so fun to see them now with their 2 young kids, AND this was the same spot we did their bridals in year ago!

As a note: There are NO dogs allowed in Big Cottonwood Canyon.

I do charge a travel fee to this area, because its it further than the 30 mile radius from my house.

SLC Fall Family Photographer


This location is easy to access up Little Cottonwood Canyon near Salt Lake City Utah. It requires some walking along a dirt trail, but not too much. This is a trailhead, so you might see a lot of hikers and a lot of cars, but there usually aren't too many people taking pictures here. This location is best when leaves are on the trees, in the summer or fall. There are NO dogs allowed in little cottonwood canyon. This session was a mini session so we just stayed pretty much in the same spot, moving just once to a spot closeby.

Mom and Me Pictures


This cute trio was easy to photograph and I enjoyed my time with them. This was for a fall mini session date I had and we were able to get tons of variety in a short time and I think they all turned out gorgeous. I love this spot when the sun peeks between the trees and leaves, it gives everything a dreamy glow! As a SLC Utah Mom and Me Photographer for 15 years, I love to spend time with you and your kids to really photograph the connection you all have!

I have taken this family's pictures a few other times and our last one was freezing, right during snowy winter. It was a fun change to do them when it was still warm and we had beautiful fall colors in the Little Cottonwood Canyon.

This was a full family photography session, so we were able to hit lots of different spots around this area! I love the pathways, bridge, small stream and all the gorgeous aspens with fall leaves you can find here.

Should I bring my dog to family pictures
Utah County Family Photographer




Should I bring my dog to family pictures?


All dogs will act a little crazy at family pictures. They're in a new place, around a new person, and we are telling them to sit and do all these tricks for a long time! Its confusing for them, but also super exciting and they will act a little weird. If your dog is generally well behaved, won't run off if taken off a leash, knows how to sit, then I think you should ALWAYS bring your dog to family pictures! Even if your dog is not great, but is on the smaller side, I still say to bring them! You can always hold them in the pictures, rather than having them sit on the ground. If your dog is big and not well behaved out in public, then I would, sadly, leave them at home.

Tips for bringing your dog to your family pictures:

  • Bring their leash
  • Bring lots of treats!
  • Bring something to get their attention, like their ball or a squeeky toy
  • Bring someone who can help hold onto them when they are not in the pictures
  • If you can't bring someone to help with your dogs, plan to leave them tied up nearby or in your car so that we can also get some options without them in the pictures
  • Make sure you tell your photographer beforehand that you are bringing a dog. Some locations have restrictions and don't allow them so its important you pick a spot that they are welcome at!


Utah County Family Photographer


This location in Utah County is a beautiful location! You do have to hike up a steep hill about 5 minutes to get up to the best spots so this spot is only recommended for those who are steady on their feet. This is also a great location choice for a dog! This family brought their 3 dogs, and we started with them in the pictures, and then put them in the car while we finished up without them.

Fall Family Photos with your dog
Provo Utah Photographer




Provo Utah Photographer


This spot in Provo Canyon, UT is just amazing. In the fall you have this amazing autumn foliage with golden grasses and yellows, orange, reds and browns in the trees. This spot is kind of a pain to get to, You do have to drive on a bumpy dirt road for about 15 minutes to access this area, and a high clearance vehicle is highly recommended.

Parking is limited up here so I don't recommend this spot for very large extended families who have to come in a lot of vehicles unless you can get together on a weekday. Weekends in the fall are a nightmare for parking, though. You will also need to walk on dirt path for a few minutes to get to the field location.

Fall Family of four Photos with your dog


This is the perfect spot for family photography in the fall for those who are looking for jaw dropping scenery with amazing color and huge mountains right behind them. This is a great spot for dogs, too. This session was one of many Family Mini sessions I photographed in fall.

Utah County Fall Engagements for older couples


Engagement pictures for second marriages aren't always the same as your first marriage. You are older, you might both have kids, and lets be honest, your body just doesn't move or look the same way as it used to. You might feel a little bit nervous to take engagements! That's why hiring someone who is experienced in working with older couples, and those are getting married again, is crucial. I won't make you do any of the trendy poses that just don't make sense for you. I'm very conscious of making sure you look and feel your best, giving you lots of posing options to choose from. Want to bring a second outfit? No problem! Want to do half engagements, and half family, with your new blended family? Absolutely! Lets make this engagement session perfectly YOU!

There are some cool rocks to sit and stand on too. This location also has beautiful fall color in September and October.

Family of Four Photography in Utah


I love shooting at the Great Saltair in Salt Lake City. We walked all the way to the Great Salt Lake and it is just stunning!! It takes about 10-15 minutes to walk to the great salt lake from the great saltair parking lot. With young kids it can be difficult to walk that long, and strollers don't always push so great. However we did bring a stroller to this session and did not have a problem getting it around. I usually split the session into two sections so we split the walking up which is easier on little legs.

Great Saltair Family Photography


This family photography session at the great saltair was so beautiful and just breath taking. The sunsets are always worth waiting for. During this SLC family photoshoot we had cloudy skies and it gave us an absolutely jaw dropping sunlight and colors.

Tips for family photography with young kinds at the great saltair in Salt Lake City, UT


1. Bring bug spray
2. Bring shoes that can get muddy or cleaned easily, it can get pretty muddy by the lake!
3. Plan to walk in the water in the warmer months! It is SO gorgeous especially at sunset!
4. Bring towels to clean off your feet after being in the water, and you can use them to sit on to put back on shoes.
5. Bring a crate, laundry basket or bag to carry all the towels, extra shoes (like flip flops), and bug spray in!

This SLC family photoshoot was so fun because they were willing to run around and play, which always makes the best family pictures! These parents were not scared to let their boys dig in the salty sand, put them up on their shoulders even with messy hands and feet, and run around to play with them. These sessions are just so much fun and relaxed, with no expectations, and honestly pictures always turn out better.

Spanish Fork Utah Photographer
Family of six Photos with kids




Spanish Fork Family Photography Session


Spanish Fork Field is one of my favorite spots for family photos with kids. These were taken during late summer after the green grass has turned yellow. The wide open space, soft light, and mountain views make it perfect for little ones to run around while also not having to walk too far for the great views. With room for everyone to spread out and relax, it creates a comfortable setting for both posed and candid shots. The neutral tones and natural scenery keep the focus on the people, which is exactly what I love most about this location, and easy to create any outfits around since every color looks great against this backdrop.

Family of six Photos with kids



As a Spanish Fork family photographer, I know how important it is to capture the kids individual pictures, mom and dad, whole group, mom with kids, dad with kids and little moments in between and Spanish Fork Field gives us the perfect backdrop to do just that. With a family of six people, I love to spend a full photography session with them, which is an hour long. In this time we are able to get mom and daughters, mom and sons, dad and daughters and dad and sons. These are not always poses we can fit in a mini session.

Utah beach family photos
Orem Utah Photographer




Orem Utah Family Photography


This location near Orem, Utah is absolutely gorgeous with a mix of lake, tall golden grass and amazing mountain views. These pictures were taken during end of summer. The lake levels were a little lower so we had more of a beach this time!

This location has a gravel parking lot, and you do need to walk down a flight of stairs to access the beach area. Or there is a ramp if you need wheelchair access, however the area is sand so it would be difficult to push a wheelchair on it. Family photography sessions at this location gives us a lot of variety in a smaller area and that's what makes it one of my favorite locations to shoot at.

Utah beach family photos


I've been photographing this cute family for a few years now and I loved this beach theme we did this year! We found an amazing piece of drift wood that we used for some of the shots and I love the way it turned out. We also did her seniors photos right before, which you can see here.

The red rock area in Utah County is a hidden gem for family photos. With warm tones, textured backgrounds, and easy access, it’s perfect for family photo sessions, especially with young kids who like to climb and play in the dirt! Kids are so happy to be here and their eye light up when they see how much fun all the rocks are! I will warn you though, your kids will probably get dirty.

Provo Canyon Wild Flowers




Provo Canyon Summer Wildflowers


This location in Provo Canyon is a little hidden field filled with the cutest little wildflowers in the summer time and they last a LONG time, into September, when these dad and daughter photos were taken. This spot also starts to yellow pretty early so we were seeing the early signs of falls with lighter green/yellow leaves plus we still had remnants of wild flowers. This location features amazing Provo mountain views, tall grass, lots of trees and wild flowers for some of the year.

Daddy Daughter Photography


This cute trio was easy to photograph and I enjoyed my time with them. This was for an end-of-summer mini session date I had and we were able to get tons of variety in a short time and I think they all turned out gorgeous. I love this spot when the sun goes behind the mountain, it really helped the mountain in the background pop! As a Provo Utah Dad and Daughter Photographer for 15 years, I love to spend time with you and your kids to really photograph the connection you all have!

Vineyard Beach, Utah




High School Senior Photographer in Vineyard, Utah


There are so many fun places to do high school senior pictures, and I think one that gets forgotten about a lot is vineyard beach near Utah Lake! The fields, mountain views, lake views, green trees and rocks and gorgeous lighting gives us some great backgrounds for senior girl photos with tons of variety. These were taken at the end of summer, since she needed her senior photos all year for upcoming school events!

I always suggest High School Seniors bring around 3-4 outfits to their photoshoot, including:

  • Casual outfit
  • Dressy outfit
  • Something to represent your high school experience, like a jersey, lettermans jacket, cheer uniform, band uniform, instrument, sports ball, pom poms, high school sweatshirt, college sweatshirt, or anything else!
  • Cap and gown (borrow from an older sibling or neighbor if you don't have one yet!)


Here is a list of my favorite places to photograph seniors in Utah County:

  • Parking garages
  • Fields with tall grass
  • Seasonal flowers
  • Red Ledges
  • Your high school
  • Vineyard beach by Utah Lake
