Utah Photographer | Utah Photography

Utah photographers love the Fall.  I'm no exception.  In fact I think it is my favorite time of the year.  School pictures, graduating Senior portraits and, of course, all the fall family portraits.  The canyons surrounding the valley provide so many options.  I frequently love to hold fall portrait sessions in Big and Little Cottonwood Canyons, East Canyon and in the Oquirrh Mountains.  By mid October, however, many places right here in the valley begin to pop with color.  This week I was lucky to spend some time at Wheeler Farm, right here in the valley, with an adorable family, the Baileys.

By mid October the leaves are just beginning to fall here in the valley. This is wonderful for fall family pictures. The browns begin to dominate, but hints of red and yellow still remain.

I like Wheeler Farm for the variety of colors, textures, and props like in the family portrait below.

There are no shortages of wagon wheels at Wheeler Farm.  Ooops!  I just gave away the answer to one of the locations in my current contest.

 This little guy, Ayden, was so cute and full of life.  It was so fun to work with him. I thouroughly enjoy the opportunity to work with children.  Click here to see a gallery of childrens photography portraits. 

Just look how active and curious he was.

BTW, another tip for photographing children outdoors that I left out of my other post....put children on rocks.  It keeps them in one place and makes it more difficult for them to run away!

As he explored animals, treehouses and terrain, his curiosity made me think of this saying from Albert Einstein...
