If you’re looking for mountain scenery that feels straight out of a postcard, it’s hard to beat Cub River.
For Brinley’s senior session, we headed to this beautiful location and were rewarded with everything I love about photographing Cub River senior pictures—towering aspens, evergreen trees, mountain views, and endless variety.
Brinley is a senior at Sky View High School, and this session was especially meaningful because she is the third and final senior I’ve photographed from this incredible family.
Why Cub River is perfect for senior portraits
One of the reasons I recommend Cub River so often is the variety.
Within a relatively small area, we can capture:
- Aspen groves
- Pine and fir trees
- Mountain views
- Open meadows
- Forest pathways
The location provides so many different looks that every gallery feels diverse and interesting.
A full-circle moment
As photographers, we often get the opportunity to work with families for years.
Photographing Brinley felt bittersweet because she is the third senior sibling I’ve photographed. Watching families grow and documenting these milestones is one of the greatest privileges of my job.
Creating timeless senior portraits
Mountain locations like Cub River never go out of style.
The scenery feels natural, timeless, and distinctly Northern Utah. For seniors who love the outdoors, it’s one of the best locations available.
Brinley’s gallery turned out beautifully, and I loved celebrating this final senior year milestone with such an amazing family. Reach out here to get pictures like these for yourself.
