Family Pictures at Utah State Capitol
Spring is right around the corner which means it’s time to start booking family pictures at the Utah State Capitol. This location boasts gorgeous pink cherry blossoms, gorgeous green lawns and the State Capitol in the background.
Why you’ll LOVE taking family pictures at the Utah State Capitol
This location has it ALL. From gorgous pink cherry blossoms, a white gravel path, sprawling green lawns and stunning white architecture in the back, there is something for everyone here.
Taking cherry blossom family pictures in the early spring is one of my favorites. I love how the location contributes a soft and airy light to your photos, giving you a beautiful edit that will shine on the walls of your home (or your instagram page). The pictures captured here are often my client’s very favorites.
What should I wear to family pictures at the cherry blossoms?
The Utah Capitol is such a dreamy location for Spring family pictures and I love to lean into the theme! Soft spring colors work SO WELL here. I often recommend my families wear something that will compliment the backdrop but won’t blend in. Tans, blues, greens, and even whites look incredible here. Or, if you’re feeling funky, we can even make brighter pops of color look fabulous too.
How do I book my cherry blossom family pictures?
The cherry blossoms at the Utah Capitol are hugely popular for family pictures every year! Because of that, I like to offer mini sessions so multiple families can get their pictures here. I will be opening up those sessions on my Instagram with more instructions on how to book soon – follow along to make sure you don’t miss it! I CANNOT WAIT to capture your family here this year.
It would be an honor to take your family pictures this year! If you’re interested in shooting with me, please reach out to me here or follow along with my work on Instagram.
