Utah Summer Photography Locations
I have complied a list of my favorite Utah locations to photograph at in the summer season. Click on each location to see more images taken there.
Please Note: As mentioned in my pricing details, "travel fees may apply." If a photo location incurs a travel fee, it will be mentioned in the notes at the top of the photo gallery. While most images in each location gallery showcase views from a distance to provide a comprehensive understanding of the location, rest assured that I also capture close-ups and 3/4 length images during the session. However, these detailed shots may not be featured in the location guide as they are focused on highlighting the overall surroundings of the chosen location.
High-altitude locations offer a good solution for getting out of the hot summer sun as tempratures tend to be a bit cooler in the mountainous regions.
I discovered many of these locations through countless hours spent exploring Utah. Please understand that I’m unable to provide details about specific photo locations or hiking routes beyond what’s already shared on this website. I only share the exact locations of my spots with clients who have booked a portrait session with me.
