Ogden, Utah · Family & extended family photos

Ogden Family Photographer

Photos together. Room to be yourselves.

A few with everyone looking at the camera, a few with the kids being themselves, and probably some laughing in between. I’ll help with the posing, but you don’t have to spend the whole session holding a smile.

Family laughing together on a blanket with fall foliage and mountains behind them in Ogden, Utah

A little direction. A lot of you.

Family photos in Ogden, with room to be yourselves

You don’t need to arrive knowing what to do. I’ll help you get everyone together, give you some direction, and leave room for the things that happen on their own. Walking, cuddling, a child who wants to be held—it all belongs in your photos.

I’m based in downtown Ogden and photograph families throughout Weber County and the surrounding area. We can plan for mountain views, an open field, or a spot close to home. I also travel to Davis County, Salt Lake City and Utah County. We’ll choose a place that works for your family and the season.

Grandparents. Cousins. Everyone together.

What is an extended family session?

An extended family session brings more than one household or generation together—grandparents with their grown children and grandchildren, siblings with their own families, or everyone in town for a reunion.

We’ll make time for the whole group, then break into smaller combinations: each household, grandparents with the grandkids, siblings, couples, and any other groupings that matter to you. I’ll help organize everyone so you aren’t trying to direct the whole family yourself.

Extended family photography

Starting at $550

Typically 60–90 minutes, with all edited digital images included. Large groups of 10 or more use extended family pricing. If you’re bringing multiple households with fewer than 10 people, tell me what you have in mind and I’ll confirm the right session.

Your quote depends on the total number of people, location, coverage time and requested groupings. Send me your headcount and I’ll help you plan.

SPRING · FALL · CHRISTMAS

Just need a few updated family photos?

I offer family mini sessions three times a year—in spring, fall and at Christmas. They’re a shorter option for updating your family photos, catching the kids at their latest stage, or getting a few favorites for holiday cards.

Mini sessions are offered on select seasonal dates. Ask me what’s coming up and I’ll send you the details.

Seasonal family mini sessions

Starting around $175

15–20 minutes · 5 edited digital images

Spring, fall and Christmas options. Pricing varies by the seasonal offering.

Ask about upcoming minis

Yes, we can get a little weird.

We don’t have to pose the whole time.

Want a deliberately awkward family photo? I’m in. Want to jump, play with the kids, or see who can make everyone laugh? Let’s do that too. We can get the photo for the wall and still have fun with the rest.

A lot of fun.Jump, move around, or bring your own idea. You don’t have to be serious.

Let’s make the planning easier.

Where should we go? What should we wear?

What to wear for family photos

Start with one outfit you feel good in, then choose a few colors that work together. Everyone doesn’t need to match. Comfortable clothes, a little texture, and shoes you can walk in are a good place to start.

A few things you might be wondering.

Before your family photos

What if my kids won’t sit still?

They don’t need to sit still the whole time. We’ll get some photos together, take little breaks when needed, and make time for movement and playing. I’ll guide you as we go.

Can we take family photos indoors?

Yes. If you prefer an indoor session, tell me how many people are coming and what you have in mind. We’ll work out a suitable space for your group rather than trying to squeeze everyone into a location that doesn’t fit.

Can we include our new baby?

Of course. If you want family photos with your baby, we can plan for that. If you’re also hoping for posed newborn portraits, look at my newborn sessions or in-home newborn photography so we allow enough time.

What if the weather is bad?

If the weather doesn’t cooperate, we’ll talk through rescheduling or a suitable indoor option. I’ll keep in touch as your session approaches.

Are prints included?

Your edited digital images and a print release for personal use are included. Professional prints are optional and can be ordered through your gallery.

How do we book?

Send me your preferred timeframe, your city and how many people will be in the photos. I’ll reply with availability and help you choose the right session. A signed contract and non-refundable retainer reserve your date.
