Worried About Summer? Here's the Truth.
MYTH
It's too hot.
REALITY
That's exactly why we photograph at sunrise, sunset, and in the water. The coolest, most beautiful hours of the day also happen to create the most magical light.
MYTH
The kids won't cooperate.
REALITY
Kids rarely enjoy standing still for an hour—but they LOVE splashing in the river, exploring, and playing. That's when the genuine smiles happen.
MYTH
It's just another thing to squeeze into our itinerary.
REALITY
Most families tell me it ended up being one of the highlights of their vacation.
MYTH
Summer isn't the best season for photos.
REALITY
Long evenings, glowing sunsets, warm water, and barefoot kids make summer the perfect season for relaxed, joy-filled family memories.
Summer doesn't have to be something you survive.
It can become one of your favorite memories of Zion.
Your Zion Evening, Step by Step....
LET THE ADVENTURE BEGIN
We'll meet at one of our favorite spots in Zion and take a few minutes to get to know each other before setting off. Don't worry if your kids are shy at first — that's completely normal, and we're great with warming them up.
EXPLORE + CAPTURE THE CLASSICS
Before everyone gets swept up in the adventure, we'll capture those beautiful, timeless family portraits — the ones you'll want on your walls for years. We'll guide you every step, so nothing feels stiff or awkward.
TIME TO RELAX AND PLAY
Once we've captured the traditional portraits, we'll start wandering. We'll stop at beautiful viewpoints, explore quiet corners of Zion, and let the evening unfold naturally.
Shoes usually come off, someone starts skipping rocks, and before long everyone forgets they're even being photographed. These are often the moments families remember most—and they make for some of my favorite photographs.
HEAD BACK WITH FULL HEARTS
You leave with sandy feet, happy kids, and one of the best evenings of your Zion vacation.
7 days later, your gallery arrives—and suddenly you're reliving one of your favorite evenings in Zion all over again.

MEMORIES THAT LAST
You'll leave with more than beautiful photographs — you'll leave with one of the best evenings of your entire trip.
We had an amazing experience with Arika in Zion capturing my family of 5!!! She made the entire photoshoot feel effortless and fun. She knew exactly where to go for the best sunset lighting and scenery, and somehow got everyone (even my teen boys) to feel comfortable and natural. Truly one of the best decisions we made on our trip, these are memories we’ll cherish forever.
