Why The Exchange Place Is a Hidden Gem for Family Photos | Salt Lake City Family Photographer

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!

Want a location with texture, color, and character? The Exchange Place in downtown Salt Lake City is one of my favorite hidden gems for family photos. Unlike wide-open fields, this spot has a more urban, modern feel—full of walls, architecture, and colorful backgrounds that pop on camera.

It’s especially great for families who love variety. Every corner offers a new look, so you get tons of options without needing to travel far. And since this location works beautifully year-round, scheduling is simple and flexible.
