Family & Maternity Photography
Life moves fast. Kids grow. Bellies round. Time passes in quick, beautiful waves. Our maternity and family portrait sessions in Salt Lake City are about catching those waves before they’re gone. We create space for real connection—nothing stiff, nothing forced, just honest moments frozen in time.
Salt Lake as a Backdrop
We shoot all over Salt Lake City. Studio spaces are warm and quiet. Local parks offer open air and space to move. Mountain views, tall grass, red rocks, fall leaves—it’s all here. Whether you want a natural feel or something more styled, this city has options that work.
The light here changes by season. In fall, golden and crisp. In spring, soft and fresh. In winter, sharp and clean. In summer, bright and wide. We plan around it so your photos glow.
Your Story, Right Now
Whether you’re getting married and starting your family, expecting a new addition, or simply want to capture your crew as they are right now—this moment matters.
Every family has a rhythm. Some are loud and full of laughter. Some are quiet and calm. Some are constantly moving. Others are all about the little pauses. That’s what we photograph—not perfect poses, but the real feeling of your people, right now.
Maternity sessions, family portraits, engagement shoots—they all come from the same place: the desire to hold on to what’s here, because it won’t stay this way forever.
What to Expect During a Maternity Session
Maternity photos are more than just showing a bump. They’re about emotion, energy, and the life that’s on the way. Some shoots are solo. Some include partners, pets, or kids. There’s no wrong way to do it.
You’ll move at your own pace. Sit. Stand. Walk. Rest. We’ll guide softly, but nothing is stiff or awkward. You don’t need to know how to pose. You just need to show up as you are. That’s enough.
Outfits can be simple and flowing. Or fitted and bold. The goal is to feel beautiful, not dressed up. These images should feel like a reflection—not a costume.
Capturing the Chaos and the Calm
Family portraits are a mix of calm and chaos. We expect giggles, wiggles, and maybe even a meltdown or two. That’s okay. That’s part of it.
Some moments are quiet—arms wrapped, heads resting, eyes locked. Others are wild—kids running, laughing, exploring. We follow the energy and capture it all.
The best family photos happen when people forget the camera. That’s why we shoot with space, not pressure. We give direction when needed, but let real moments lead the way.
For Growing Families and Changing Seasons
Some families come back every year. Others mark big changes—new baby, new home, new chapter. Whatever the reason, the goal is always the same: to hold on to what matters most right now.
Some families bring generations—grandparents, cousins, new babies all in one frame. Others keep it small and simple. Whether it’s two people or twelve, we plan the session to fit the shape of your family.
Clothing, Comfort, and Confidence
You don’t have to match. You don’t have to dress up. You just have to feel good. Light neutrals, warm earth tones, or classic denim all work well with the Utah landscape. But wear what feels like you.
Location Ideas Around Salt Lake
Looking for options? Here are a few local favorites:
- Open grass fields near the foothills
- Forest paths with filtered light
- Studio settings with clean backgrounds
- Urban textures in alleyways or stairwells
- Lakeside reflections during sunset
Each one offers a different feel. We’ll help you pick what matches your vibe and the story you want to tell.
How the Session Flows
We start by chatting. Who’s coming? What kind of energy are you hoping for? Then we pick a date, time, and place. We help plan the look. Then we meet and shoot.
Sessions usually last 45 to 90 minutes. Long enough to settle in. Short enough to keep kids from burning out. Afterward, we edit the best images and deliver them in an easy-to-use gallery.
Simple. Clean. No stress. Just real moments, captured with care.
