My photography business grew from a desire to learn how to take professional portraits of my kids, while also capturing the cute and sweet moments of their childhood. Their portraits and candid images are such a treasure to me now which is why my photography style has evolved into what it is today - family portraits with candid moments mixed in to capture personalities and family relationships

Finding the Perfect Water Location for Your Family Photos

Just because we don’t live by the ocean doesn’t mean you have to miss out on those dreamy, water-filled backdrops for your next family session! As a Utah County photographer, I’ve discovered some absolutely stunning local spots that bring the magic of water into your portraits—no sandy toes required. Let me help you find the perfect water location for your family photos.

From the peaceful streams in American Fork, Utah to the tucked-away ponds in Highland, Utah, Utah truly surprises us with its variety. Whether you’re dreaming of soft reflections, flowing creeks, or a quiet lakeside moment, there’s a perfect location close to home.

One of my favorite things about being a photographer in Utah County is the diversity in our scenery. Think: lush green trails with trickling rivers, calm reservoirs framed by the mountains, and cozy footbridges over sparkling creeks. These hidden gems create an effortless, natural feel for your family portraits—playful for the little ones, relaxed for mom and dad, and timeless for your gallery wall.

When you book your session, we’ll chat about the vibe you’re going for—earthy and serene, or lively and adventurous—and I’ll help you choose a location that features water and fits your family’s style. You don’t have to travel far to find something truly magical!

Ready to start planning? Let’s capture your story right here in the heart of Utah County—with the calming beauty of water all around you.

Let’s make memories. Let’s make them beautiful.
