Preserve your memories against the backdrop of Zion’s most incredible vistas.📸 📸 📸 BOOK TODAY!
Hey there! I’m Arika — a Southern Utah native, mother of three, and founder of Zion Adventure Photog. I grew up just minutes from Zion and started my business ten years ago. Since then, I’ve spent countless days hiking, photographing, and exploring the park. Over time, Zion has become both home and classroom, and my deep love for this place comes from knowing it in every season, light, and pace.
​
I love meeting travelers from all over the world and showing them the magic of Southern Utah. It really is one of my greatest joys.
Getting to capture couples and families out spending time in nature is the absolute best! I can't wait to capture some memories for you!

"Hire them! Arika was so amazing. We wanted family photos for our 10-year anniversary. Arika knew all the cool spots (we are not from the area). We wanted epic views, but we also needed a location we could hike to with toddlers, and the location Arika recommended was perfect. For many, family photos can be a drag to get through, but we had so much fun. Arika helped us all feel at ease and was so good with the kids. And of course, the final photos turned out amazing."
