Best Utah Family Picture Locations – Spring
As a Utah family photographer part of my job is scouting the best locations for your family pictures. And let me tell you, Utah absolutely shows off during springtime! From gorgeous blossoms, to neutral salt flats, to greenhouses and beyond, I pride myself on finding the best backdrops to showcase your family.
Where you take your family pictures can influence the vibe and color scheme of your photos. This makes choosing the right location for you so important! That is why I send all the families I work with my Seasonal Location Guide. I created this guide to highlight the best family picture locations and what you can expect from each one during spring in Utah. In this resource you will find information on the right time of day to schedule your shoot, what scenery to expect, parking/fee information and what outfit colors will look best! But don’t worry, if you have a location in mind that isn’t in my guide I will still do my best to help you get ready for our time together.
I would LOVE to work with your family! Please contact me to schedule your spring family pictures. To see more of my work, follow along on instagram.
Utah Capitol Cherry Blossoms | Family and Senior Pictures
Utah Capitol Cherry Blossoms | Family and Senior Pictures. I know it’s hard to believe with the absolutely bitter winter we’ve been having, but spring is right around the corner. Thank goodness! This means now is the time to contact your photographer for beautiful blossoms in your family or senior pictures.
The capitol in spring is absolutely stunning and a fan-favorite for a reason. The cherry blossoms provide the perfect backdrop for showcasing your beautiful family or letting your senior shine. Because the capitol blossoms are extremely popular, I typically shoot this location on weekday evenings to beat the crowds. When you reach out we will discuss times that typically work for your family so when the blossoms begin to bloom we are ready. Once the trees start flowering they typically last about two weeks and you’ll be glad you reached out early!
Timing the blossoms right can be stressful, but that doesn’t mean your session has to be! I provide prompts to help you feel confident in front of the camera and focus on capturing genuine moments that you will cherish for a long time.
I would LOVE to work with your family or graduating senior! Please contact me to schedule your spring blossom pictures now. To see more of my work, follow along on Instagram.
Tibble Fork | Maternity Photographer
Tibble Fork | Maternity Photographer. I love this Tibble Fork maternity session with the beautiful Falk family!
Tibble Fork is located about 15 minutes up American Fork Canyon and is stunning year-round. But during the winter? Wowza – it is the perfect wonderland! The pines and snowy reservoir provided a gorgeous backdrop to highlight this gorgeous mama-to-be. I loved helping Braidy & Matt capture striking images of this magical season of their life before they’re joined by baby boy in a few weeks! Their excitement was contagious and their love for each other was so sweet. I have no doubts they are going to be the best parents to their little guy.
I’d LOVE to work with your growing family! Please contact me to book your maternity, fresh 48, and newborn sessions! To view more of my work, follow along on Instagram.
Spring Family Photos | Salt Lake Photographer
Spring Family Photos | Salt Lake Photographer. When it comes to Spring Family Photos, there are many lovely location options. Most people will immediately thing about going to a beautiful Orchard with beautiful blossoms. However, if you have lived in Salt Lake City, Utah for a long time, you may want something different! This beautiful spot is filled with the most gorgeous Olive trees. Not only is it stunning, but this location is easy to get to!
Things I love about this location
These Olive trees are the first thing that I love about this location. Having these Olive trees actually allows us to begin your session at an earlier time. The beautiful warm light that comes through the leaves gives a late spring/ early summer feel. After daylight savings, sunset is much later and this often conflicts with children’s bedtimes. I am always happy to have a location up my sleeves where we can begin a session a couple of hours before golden hour!
I hope to be able to work with your family this spring! Please contact me to book your family session! To view more of my work, follow along on Instagram.

Utah State Capitol Blossoms – SLC Photographer
The Utah State Capitol Blossoms are every SLC Photographers dream. They are not only a photographers dream, but also incredibly famous. For the two weeks that these incredible blossoms are here, the Capitol grounds are filled with onlookers. When I think of a location that is the epitome of springtime in Utah, this is it!
Planning for your Utah State Capitol Blossoms Session
EXPECT TO A WEEKDAY OR EARLY MORNING SESSION
The capitol is extremely busy during the two weeks that these blossoms are in bloom. People from all over flock to the Capitol. Planning to do your session on a weeknight or early morning is the best idea to get a good spot, and be able to avoid huge crowds.
WHAT IS PARKING LIKE
Parking is busy! It is free, so you won’t have to worry about that! I would definitely plan to arrive 20 minutes before your session will begin to ensure that you have parking, and time to find your sessions spot.
WHERE IS THE UTAH STATE CAPITOL LOCATED
The cherry trees are around the whole property of the Utah State Capitol building. To find the capitol you will go to 350 State St, Salt Lake City, UT 84103.
WHEN WILL TE CAPITOL BLOSSOMS BLOOM
The Cherry blossoms usually bloom the first week of April. They last for about 2 weeks. A perfect way to hear firsthand when they are blooming is by following the Utah Capitol Instagram page.
