Park City Family Photos

Five beautiful girls and the sweetest parents made these Park City Family photos perfect! I love when clients know how to style their outfits just right, Emelie chose the perfect colors to compliment the beautiful scenes of Park City and Big Cottonwood. Dresses are always a good idea for photo sessions, you can dress them up or make them casual.

Where to take family photos in Utah

We went to one of my favorite spots in Park City, Utah, as well as up Big Cottonwood Canyon for some variety. Big Cottonwood Canyon is right outside of Salt Lake City, it’s so accessible to get to and there are a lot of places to capture your perfect family pictures.

Fall Family Photo Shoot | Northern Utah Family Photographer

Cache Valley, Utah Fall Family Photos

Fall family photo sessions have become my favorite! Fall time in Utah is so pretty with the changing leaves on the trees and the beautiful scenery. A little bit of snow surprised us for the session, but it ended up being perfect. I had so much fun with this beautiful family! I loved witnessing their relationships with each other, these kids had such a great bond with each other. The girls sure loved their little brother and they were so cute with him! Can you imagine being a boy growing up with 4 older sisters!?

The whole family’s outfits were perfect. The neutrals with the pops of fall colors really complemented the scenery with the fall colors and the little bit of white snow! The girl’s outfits were from the cutest boutique in Cache Valley called Roolee. They have the cutest clothes and the girls looked so pretty in them! I loved getting to photograph this cute family and I can’t wait to do it again! They made my job so easy and fun!

My 2020 schedule is filling up fast! You can visit my website or email me to hold your spot today at jessica@jessicasphoto.

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 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!
