When it comes to photographing large family groups, experience makes all the difference—and this session near Utah Lake was the perfect example. As a photographer with over a decade of experience capturing extended family photos, I know how to manage big personalities, coordinate group poses, and find those beautiful in-between moments that show the love a family shares. This session had it all.
A Gorgeous Evening at Utah Lake
Utah Lake is one of my favorite locations for family photo sessions—especially with large groups. The light reflects off the water in the most beautiful way, and there’s enough open space for kids to run, grandparents to relax, and for us to create images that feel natural and unposed.
This particular extended family came together for a reunion, and I was so honored to document it. The love and connection between them was easy to see and even easier to photograph. From sibling hugs to multi-generational portraits, we captured a wide variety of groupings—so everyone walked away with images they’ll treasure for years.
Why Experience Matters for Extended Family Photography
Photographing large groups takes more than a camera—it takes patience, timing, and an eye for detail. With over 10 years of professional photography experience, I’ve developed a system that helps sessions run smoothly. I know how to work quickly, keep everyone engaged (even the little ones), and use natural light and location conditions to my advantage—whether it’s sunny, cloudy, or somewhere in between.
The result? Beautiful, balanced photos where everyone looks their best—even in groups of 15 or more.
