This post is part of my continuing series on my favorite Salt Lake Valley family portrait locations. Keep checking back as I continue to share thoughts and tips on my all time favorite locations!
If you’re dreaming of wide open fields and a gorgeous mountain backdrop, Butterfield Canyon is one of my favorite locations for family photos in Utah. This spot has a little bit of everything—grassy meadows, tree-lined paths, and that golden Utah light families love.
Kids adore Butterfield Canyon because there’s space to run, climb, and play. Parents love it because the scenery makes every image feel timeless and elevated. Whether it’s the soft greens of spring, the lush tones of summer, or the rich colors of autumn, Butterfield Canyon is beautiful year-round.
Why Families Love Butterfield Canyon
✨ Wide, open grassy fields perfect for running and playing
✨ Tree-lined backdrops for variety
✨ That classic Utah mountain vibe that never goes out of style
✨ Gorgeous in every season—from spring blooms to autumn leaves
The Best of Both Worlds: At Home + Outdoors
As much as I adore in-home sessions (and always will), pairing your cozy family photos at home with an outdoor add-on at Butterfield Canyon gives you the best of both worlds.
At home, we’ll capture your family’s real rhythm—snuggling on the couch, baking in the kitchen, or playing in the backyard. Then, at Butterfield Canyon, we’ll layer in a more adventurous side of your story, surrounded by Utah’s natural beauty. Together, these sessions create a gallery that’s both personal and breathtaking.
