Some locations feel like hidden gems, and Cub River is definitely one of them. Nestled just outside Preston, Idaho, this beautiful mountain area provides an incredible backdrop for families who want portraits surrounded by nature.
As a photographer, I love creating Cub River extended family photos because the scenery is peaceful, spacious, and absolutely stunning throughout the warmer months.
Whether your family gathers every year or this is a rare opportunity to get everyone together, these portraits become some of the most valuable photographs you’ll ever own.

Why Cub River Is One of My Favorite Locations
Cub River offers everything I love in an outdoor photo location.
Towering trees.
Mountain views.
Open meadows.
Beautiful natural light.
The landscape creates variety throughout the gallery while still keeping the attention where it belongs—on your family.
That’s why I frequently recommend Cub River extended family photos for families looking for a natural, timeless setting.
Extended Family Sessions Celebrate Every Generation
One of the greatest gifts of extended family photography is preserving relationships across generations.
These sessions allow us to capture:
- The entire family together
- Grandparents with every grandchild
- Individual family units
- Cousins together
- Adult siblings
- Special combinations unique to your family
These photographs often become the images displayed in homes for decades.
A Relaxed Experience for Everyone
Large family sessions don’t have to feel overwhelming.
I guide every step of the process so families know exactly where to be and what comes next. Keeping the session organized allows everyone to relax, enjoy spending time together, and focus on making memories instead of worrying about logistics.
The result is a gallery filled with genuine smiles, natural interactions, and timeless portraits.
Preserving Your Family’s Story
Every extended family session tells a different story, but they all have one thing in common—they preserve the people who matter most.
As a photographer serving Cub River, Preston, Cache Valley, and Southern Idaho, I love helping families create portraits that celebrate connection, tradition, and togetherness.
If you’re planning Cub River extended family photos, I’d love to help create images your family will treasure for generations.
