Salt Lake City Family Photo Session in Mid-Century Modern Home Renovation

Tai Lee Photography | Utah Family Photographer

A few months ago I was invited into this beautiful family’s home that they had recently remodeled near Salt Lake City, Utah to photograph their love and connection. I could tell that their daughter Isla was the center of their world and the purpose of everything that they worked hard for and that their home was an expression of their creativity, and extension of their inner selves. They did such a beautiful job mixing modern and mid-century to create such cozy spaces to spend their days at home together, and made an effort to bring in lots and lots of natural light. The walls and colors were neutrals mixed with wood and stone, with giant windows everywhere.

Family Pictures in Heber, Utah | Wasatch County Photographer

A couple of years ago, our family moved to Heber, UT. It was a place we had always wanted to live so we finally just went for it. It’s been a challenge relocating my photography business, but it’s also been SO much fun. I love living in Heber because it allows for me to serve not only Heber, but also the surrounding areas like Park City, Midway, Salt Lake, and Provo. It’s been a ton of fun to location scout for good locations to take family pictures and engagement pictures and I’ve got a list of gorgeous locations up my sleeve. One of my favorite areas in Heber is Wasatch State Park. You get the view of the mountains in the background and this little area with grassy fields and pretty light was the perfect spot this family photo session in the late fall with my friend and her family. Enjoy scrolling through this session with the most adorable kiddos I have possibly ever seen.

P.S. I mixed in a bit of black and white film, so for those of you who appreciate and can see the beauty of film, see if you can pick them out. ;)

Tai Lee Photography | Lifestyle Family Photographer in Northern Utah

I met Shelby on Instagram and was so excited to set up a family photo shoot for her. I traveled to Logan, Utah for this family session and we found the coolest spot for pictures near the mountains. If you need a location in Logan for your family pictures, be sure to check out Green Canyon. It’s got a really good variety of scenery and beautiful light a couple of hours before sunset.

Tai Lee Photography | Specializing In Artfully Documenting Your Life

Film photography has been gaining a lot of popularity over the past few years and I have been sucked into all the hype around it. I actually started out my photography journey shooting on film but it was too unpredictable and not very cost effective. Plus the stress of wondering if you got your exposures right and if the photos turned out was a little overwhelming. I’ve actually hung onto my film camera and have pulled it out for fun to shoot black and white film (my all time favorite) and in the last couple years have started playing with color film.

Tai Lee Photography | Artistic Family Photographer

Malissa has been a good friend of mine for the last several years and when she called me and asked if I wanted to swap family pictures for each other at the sand dunes in Utah, I was ALL IN. There are several sand dunes locations in Utah. One of them is in Eureka at Little Sahara Recreation center, another is the Coral Sand Dunes, and believe it or not, there are some in the Uintah Basin. It is always so fun to photograph another photographer’s family. They come ingrained with what we call insider knowledge ;) and know a few things that are really helpful for their photographer. They have an understanding that family photos can be fun, that they don’t need to stress about yelling at their kids through the whole shoot to get them to behave, and they have a sixth sense for killer locations to do family photos. Utah is full of these outdoor places to take pictures, but the standard is to do fall family pictures and do them in the mountains where the leaves are orange and red. Nothing is wrong with this, and the mountains in Northern Utah in the fall are stunning, but I’ve found that photographers as well as other clients of mine that are creative souls, really love doing something outside of the norm. They like to break tradition a little. Something both Malissa and I have LOVED is taking family photos in the summertime. The light is delicious, and warm, and full of life. So we swapped sessions and I couldn’t be more happy with how both of our photos turned out. Malissa does BEAUTIFUL work on film, and I snuck in a few film shots of her family as well. See if you can pick them out! Check out our family session with Malissa HERE.
