If your blog post's featured images are fairly low resolution, you may want to delete the top image canvas. Your blog will still look gorgeous, but the top banner section looks best when you upload an image that's 2500px on the long side.

Summer Sessions in Utah

Why Summer is the Sweet Spot for Family Photos in Utah
And Why You Should Book Before School Starts

If you’ve ever tried to squeeze family photos into the chaos of fall — between school events, sports, and shorter days — you know how stressful it can be. That’s why I always recommend summer sessions when you can.

Summer is slower. It’s the season of late bedtimes, barefoot mornings, and letting routines soften. And that unhurried pace? It shows in your photos. The light lingers, the kids are less rushed, and there’s more time to settle in, explore, and play.

Morning sessions are cooler (and easier)
Utah summers can heat up, but mornings near the river are magic. The temps are cool, the light is soft and golden, and it’s the perfect way to start your day. Plus, your little ones are fresh, fed, and ready to run. We can wander near the water, let the kids splash a little, and capture the joy of childhood just as it is.

Nature is at its peak
Everything is lush and green, wildflowers are blooming, and the sun paints everything in gold. This is Utah at her prettiest — and it’s fleeting. By mid-September, the greens begin to fade and schedules start to fill.

Playful, relaxed sessions
Some of my favorite galleries come from summer sessions. There’s more space for movement, more spontaneity, and a little less pressure. We can slow down, lean into connection, and let the kids lead the way.

BEHIND THE LENS

MEET janae

Photographer, artist, mother, designer, inspired by nature, light, kids and you.

That's me and my family at our session last Fall. It is so hard to be behind the camera! I promise I feel that - and I am here to make it as easy and fun as I possibly can. My kids were wild and we needed time for them to warm up to our photographer, take breaks, play and just relax as a family. Sessions with me will not be like other sessions you've done in the past. I promise you will be so glad you decided to do it!
