Promontory Club Family Photos | Park City Family Photographer

January 13, 2020

I had so much fun working with this family; they were so kind and generous! They were all at their second home in Park City at the Promontory Club for the holidays, and it was a perfect time to get an updated photo. We lucked out with fresh snow on Christmas, so everything looked so beautiful! As a photographer, I love how their outfits came together, and the neutral colors are perfect for the winter scene. And I am obsessed with the mom’s coat; it looked so good for the snowy day in the mountains. Even though all of the kids are adults, they still put up with me, making them laugh and smile at each other, those are always some of my favorite images!

At the Promontory Club, they have the most beautiful lake and boathouse in the community; it is my new favorite place to take photos in Park City! It looks like it is straight out of a magazine or a movie, it was so picturesque! Being a Promontory Club Family Photographer is a seriously a dream!

Tips for Winter Photoshoots

Some people are afraid of the snow for family photos; if you dress correctly and embrace the cold, they will be some of your favorite photos! Here are a few tips to make it through a snowy, winter photoshoot:

Have outfits that look good with or without your coats. A lot of times, we will start without coats on and then add them back in as it gets too cold. If you have the right layers, it will add to the shoot and give you more variety.

Wear good shoes, and this will make all of the difference. If you can keep your feet dry with a good pair of boots, you will stay warm for a lot longer. There are so many cute options for boots, and they look so good in photos! I love my Sorel and Timberland Boots.

If you want to wear gloves in the photos, make sure they aren’t too flashy or bright. You can also wear one glove on the hand in the back and keep yourself half warm! 🙂

A lot of people travel to Park City from warmer places and haven’t been accustomed to the cold. My best tip for dealing with the cold is your adjusting your mindset. Don’t think about how cold it is, focus on how much you love your family instead.

I am super easy going when it comes to doing photo sessions if you need to warm up, please let me know! I don’t ever want to make you too uncomfortable, and there is always time to warm up in the car or your home for a bit.

Some people take the winter off because they don’t like working in the snow, I love it and can’t get enough of all of the snowy photo sessions!

The Kite Family | Cache Valley Family Photographer

November 6, 2019

Cache Valley Utah

Family photo sessions are some of my favorite sessions as a photographer! I just love the Kite family! I enjoy doing their family photos every year. We have grown so close, and I love seeing their cute kids grow and see their fun personalities come out. Lizzy always has the cutest style! I always look forward to their shoots, because I know that she will dress her family so cute, and have the perfect paring of colors and outfits. The colors she choose for this fall setting was perfect. I was obsessed with all their outfits! We did these photos at the end of August and I love when the green grass turns to yellow, it is my favorite. The grass does such a good job making the colors and outfits pop.

Northern Utah is one of the most beautiful locations for family photo sessions in Utah. I love Cache Valley and all the different scenery and seasons that this area has to offer. Every single photo session in that area produces the most beautiful images! I am always so happy with how all my photo sessions turn out there! I am so lucky to be a Cache Valley Family Photographer!

Bonneville Salt Flats Family Photos | Salt Lake Family Photographer

May 31, 2019

Meet The Holbrook’s, I have been photographing their family since the very beginning! I started doing photos for them when their oldest was in 5th grade! He is now in college! I have loved getting to connect with them every year, their kids have grown up so fast! They are always so much fun! Over all of the years that I have done photos for them, not once have their kids dis-liked getting their photos taken, they are always full of ideas for poses and things that they want to do. When you schedule your photos, get your kids involved in the process, have them get together some ideas, and they will love the photo shoot even more!

I was so excited that we did these photos out at the Salt Flats, as soon as she called to schedule a date, I wanted to take them out of Cache Valley and out to the Bonneville Salt Flats. In the spring and late fall they are covered with an inch of water, and it made for some beautiful light and landscapes to play with. The Salt Flats take awhile to get to, but it is always worth the long drive to get this beautiful scene!

They always have the best outfits! I always look forward to their shoots, because I know that they will be beautifully matched. The neutrals that they chose were perfect, I am obsessed with the linen pants and rompers! I know outfits can always be a stressful part of family photos, two things that I tell families is to find moms outfit first, if she is happy in what she is wearing everyone else will be too! And don’t choose outfits that won’t match in your home. If you are wanting to make a big canvas for your home you won’t want it toot match, so choose colors that you will be happy to hang on your walls. When you are choosing your outfits and can’t decide, I am here for you to help you figure out what will look best! Text or email me your outfits and I will be happy to help!

Summer sessions dates are filling up fast, and I am getting so excited about how full my calendar is! If you are wanting to get on my schedule email me now to set up your appointment! jessica@jessicasphoto.com
