Depending on the location you love will determine the time we begin our session because of sunset light. We will most likely start the session an hour and half or 2 before sunset! Take a look through these links or our blog to see what location you love the most and will fit the vibe you are looking for for your photoshoot!! Full blog: Kyleeann.com/blog.
Some things to remember about locations and seasons!! The month we take you photos will control what the location you want looks like!
-Tree blossoms and green grass hit around April-May.
-Low elevation (in in the valley) wildflowers hit in June.
-Hot summer sun will burn wildflowers and grass and turn them golden.
-Higher elevations will take longer to have the snow melt off so green grass will come end of June-August. Wildflower season is mid July-early August in the mountains.
Green Canyon:
Green Canyon is easy to access all year round and is close to Logan. You can get mountain views without too far a drive. Green canyon has green trees year round, and get green grass and yellow sunflowers in April-June. The heat will kill the flowers but turn the grass golden yellow June-Fall. There are a few different spots within 3 mins of each other in Green Canyon. Lower Green Canyon has pines behind a field with spring and early summer sunflowers. Middle Green Canyon has light dappled trees. Pavilion parking Green Canyon has mountain views and a great view of the sunset, including a little pond.
Directions: Head all the way East on 1900 N to access this canyon. We will meet at the first parking lot to the left near the large picnic pavilion.

Logan Canyon
Logan Canyon is one of the most incredible locations for photography. There are several places along the canyon that depending on timing, can be combined into a shoot.
Jardine Juniper:
This mini canyon with mountain views is a new favorite spot! You can easily access this location year round. The elevation is lower in the canyon and turns green earlier in the year (May) then other canyon spots. The grass turns golden end of June- Fall. There are aspens and a small creek as well as a meadow of tall grass with a snow capped mountain view!

Tony Grove: (Accessible from end of June-October, wildflower season mid-July to early August.)
Tony Grove boasts the most beautiful sheer rock cliffs behind a mountain lake. This location is a favorite in late summer and through the fall. It is a 40 min drive up Logan Canyon. The snow doesn’t melt until June. There are aspens, wildflowers, and an occasional moose scattered in the rocky terrain. There is no cell phone service at the lake so it is important to be on time!

Grand Canyon (Accessible from mid May-late December)
This location is a stunning view right off the road in Logan Canyon. With epic views of the sheer cliffs that are perfect at sunset. This location is a great alternative to Tony Grove if you want a shorter drive or if Tony Grove is out of season.

Logan River Park: This park is located right by the dog park near the south Walmart! It has a lush greenery and a gorgeous view of the river. There has been a lot of construction in that area over the winter so it might look different than these pictures from last year.
