A Morning Full of Love, Legacy, and Laughter

There’s something extra special about photographing multiple generations all together. This session for extended family photos in Salt Lake City was the perfect way to kick off a spring weekend. We met early in one of my favorite tucked-away nature spots just outside the city—a peaceful, tree-filled location that feels like a secret garden, perfect for big family groups.

Everyone’s schedules were packed, as they often are with large families, but we found a morning time that worked for everyone. The soft spring light and crisp air made it feel calm and magical—such a gift for a busy crew. This family hadn’t had updated photos in more than five years. I could feel how much this session meant to them. It was time to hit pause and capture the joy they share right now, before another year flies by.

Why You Should Consider Extended Family Photos in Salt Lake City

Coordinating an extended family session may feel like a huge task—aligning schedules, picking outfits, wrangling kids—but it’s always worth it. These photos are more than just pretty portraits. They tell a story of love across generations. From the proud grandparents watching their grandkids run and play, to the sweet cousin giggles and in-between hugs, it’s these candid, connected moments that turn into family treasures.

One of my favorite parts of this session was reconnecting with Danielle and her sweet son. They’ve modeled for me before, and having familiar faces in front of my camera again made everything feel relaxed and easy. I’m always honored when past clients invite me back to capture new chapters. It’s truly the highest compliment.
