"Family is not an important thing. It is everything."
-Michael J. Fox
Family photography is more than just a group photo. It is the chance to connect and make memories with your family. Jami takes the time to capture those smiling photos, but also the little moments in between. The giggles, the laughs, and even sometimes the tears...because that is real life with children!

About Jami, your pediatric nurse photographer
Jami has always had an intense love for children. From helping raise her younger brothers to always being the one holding babies at family gatherings, caring for little ones has always been second nature to her. With over 28 years of experience as a pediatric nurse, Jami brings a deep understanding of child development and the ability to connect with kids of all ages. Now, as a Salt Lake City children’s photographer, she combines that passion with her creative eye to capture meaningful milestones—whether it’s a baby’s first year, a playful childhood stage, or the exciting senior year of high school.
Jami knows how to communicate with toddlers, put older kids at ease, and bring out the genuine personality of teens who might otherwise shy away from the camera. The result? Portraits filled with real expressions, heartfelt moments, and details that a cell phone simply can’t capture. From cake smash sessions to kindergarten milestones to senior portraits, Jami makes every session fun, comfortable, and a true reflection of who your child is at this moment.
Frequently asked questions about family photography in Salt Lake County
Where are Family photography sessions done?
Most families choose to do an outdoor family photography session. I have many locations available across the Wasatch Front. I can look at a location close to you, or if you have always wanted photos at a certain location, I can do that for you! I can also do family photos in studio. There are two options here...my small studio in Sandy with a few different backdrops, or we can rent a photography studio that is larger with more variety. The benefit of in studio photography is that we don't have to worry about the weather or the time of day. The benefit of outdoor locations is the beautiful scenery, complemented by golden hour light (usually done in the evening before sunset). Contact me and we can chat about options! I have a large location guide you can go through if you wish!
When should I book family photos?
Anytime you feel like you need an updated family photo! Many parents choose to book family photos every year. The most common time to book family photos is in the fall, as families are getting ready to send out those holiday cards. Due to the fact that I work night shifts at the hospital, my evening schedule fills up VERY quickly in the fall. So please inquire early for fall family photos!
How do I prepare for my family photography session?
When you book a photography session, we will plan a custom session together, discussing location options as well as outfit and styling suggestions. You will receive my preparation guide that will walk you through how to prepare for your family photos. From what to wear, what to bring, and what to expect, the guide is comprehensive and will help you relax knowing all of the tiny details are taken care of! The most important thing is to do your best to make sure the children are as well rested and well fed as possible!
What do we wear for family Photography Sessions?
I suggest clothing that is simple and classic. Solid colors that complement but are not too "matchy" work well. Find a color palette that you love (Pinterest is great for these things!) or start with a single piece of clothing (such as a dress for Mom or a sweater for a child) and then coordinate outfits around that item. I am happy to work with you to suggest clothing that will photograph well! For an outdoor session, I don't recommend outfit changes. If you want variety, think of bringing sweaters or jackets that you can layer over your clothing! For studio sessions where there is more privacy to change, I recommend no more than 2 outfits for your family.
What if my child won't cooperate for a photo session?
I have many children's photography clients that are amazed at the beautiful photos I get, even when their child was crawling or running away, or less than cooperative (because, let's face it, what toddler is perfectly cooperative??). I am very good with babies and children, and I even have a few tricks up my sleeve! I promise to do everything in my power to capture beautiful photos worthy of placing on your walls! As long as you follow my prep guide and make sure your child is well rested and fed, we should be able to get beautiful photos.
How much does a photography session cost?
My family photography sessions start with a session fee of $300. The session fee includes:
-
the time and talent of the photographer
-
the sanitizing, setup and cleanup for the session
-
$100 credit towards a collection of digital images or prints
This does NOT include the unedited or edited digital images. You may use your print credit to purchase a collection of digital images, prints, albums, or products. Digital images are $50 each. Contact me for full pricing info!
Why is professional family photography so expensive?
As the owner of a professional children's photography studio, I have spent thousands on education, equipment, lighting, backdrops, outfits, and props. I also spend many hours planning and preparing for the session. Creating a custom session for your family is an art that I absolutely love, but it does take time. My images are hand retouched to deliver you high quality artwork, which takes time. If you are looking for a inexpensive, quick photographer that throws a filter on each image and delivers images the same day, I might not be the right photographer for you.
