Extended Family Photographer in Utah & Salt Lake Counties | Heather Wrigley Photography

Getting your entire family together is no small thing — but when it happens, it deserves to be remembered. As an extended family photographer in Utah County and Salt Lake County, I help families capture the love, laughter, and connection that make your story one of a kind.

​These sessions aren’t just about one perfect photo. They’re about preserving generations, celebrating your people, and creating memories you’ll treasure for years to come.

What to Expect from an Extended Family Session

Big families are my specialty! My extended family sessions are organized but still relaxed — I keep things moving quickly, especially for little ones, and make sure everyone feels comfortable and included.
​
During your session, I capture:

• The entire group together — your classic “everyone” shot.
• Each smaller family — because everyone deserves a few portraits of their own.
• Grandparents with grandkids — always a favorite.
• Candid moments — laughter, hugs, and personality in between poses.

You’ll end up with a gallery that’s full of both love and life — something for every family member to cherish.

Beautiful Utah Locations for Extended Family Photos

We’re spoiled with scenery here in Utah! Some of my favorite local spots include:
Lavender Fields in Mona – Dreamy light, soft colors, and mountain views.
Downtown Salt Lake City – A classic, timeless backdrop that works beautifully for larger families.
Local Parks in Salt Lake, Lehi, Highland, and American Fork – Easy access, lots of space, and green surroundings.
Provo Canyon & Tibble Fork Reservoir – Natural beauty with plenty of variety.
Each spot offers its own unique charm, and I help families choose the best one for their size, style, and time of year.

Tips for a Smooth Extended Family Session

A little prep goes a long way! Here’s how to make your big family photo day stress-free:

• Coordinate outfits with soft, natural tones that complement each other.
• Share a group text or outfit guide so everyone’s on the same page.
• Trust your photographer’s flow — I’ll handle posing and grouping.
• Embrace the chaos — sometimes the best photos come from the in-between moments.

Why These Photos Matter

The best part of photographing extended families is seeing generations come together — grandparents surrounded by grandkids, cousins laughing together, siblings reconnecting. These aren’t just portraits; they’re part of your family’s legacy.
