Find the Best Photographers in Layton

Julie Sheriff Photography has worked with Salt Lake City, Davis County, and Weber County families since 2014, putting roughly twelve years behind a business built primarily around newborn and maternity portraits. That tenure earned the studio a spot on Expertise.com’s list of the best newborn photographers in Salt Lake City, a recognition it has held since 2017. Layton parents make up a share of the client base that drives in from across Davis County for sessions, alongside families from Weber and Utah counties. The studio’s published work leans toward warm, editorial-style newborn portraits, along with occasional maternity and family sessions booked by returning clients. Julie’s photography has also been featured in a motherhood-focused anthology and recognized in an international image competition, credentials that sit alongside client testimonials on the site. Session inquiries and portfolio browsing happen primarily through the website and an active Instagram presence, where recent sessions are posted regularly. Rather than working from a single fixed studio location, the business structures its service area around Northern Utah’s population centers, giving families outside Salt Lake City proper, including those in Layton, a nearby option for newborn portraits without needing to travel into the city itself.

 

Aubree Della Photography works out of Ogden with a decade of experience behind her, and describes her coverage area simply as anywhere between Ogden and Salt Lake City without a travel fee attached, a stretch of the Wasatch Front that runs straight through Layton. Newborn sessions follow a specific window, with babies ideally under two weeks old, and the studio keeps wraps, props, and accessories on hand so parents don’t need to shop beforehand. The newborn package runs $600, sitting alongside a simpler $300 announcement session, a $500 maternity package, and a $1,200 all-inclusive option that bundles maternity, newborn, and a later milestone session into one plan for parents who’d rather book once than three separate times. Past clients return for cake smash and first-birthday sessions, and the studio offers a $299 milestone rate reserved for repeat families. The portfolio favors natural light and true skin tones over heavy retouching, with images ranging from sleepy studio poses to more relaxed lifestyle shots taken in a family’s own space. Booking happens through the website’s contact form, and availability is generally tightest around the most popular due-date months, so Layton parents expecting soon are encouraged to reach out early in pregnancy rather than waiting until after delivery.

 

Based in Brigham City, Aspen Suzanne Photography drives into Layton and the rest of Davis County for newborn sessions after building a client base across Box Elder, Weber, and Salt Lake counties. The business grew out of a personal decision a few years back to turn photography into full-time work, and that shift shows in a portfolio built almost entirely around babies and young families rather than a wide mix of genres. Two newborn packages are offered: a longer 2-3 hour session with 40-60 edited images for families who want a full gallery, and a shorter 60-90 minute wrapped session with 30 images for parents who want something simpler. Both lean on soft, neutral wraps and natural light rather than elaborate sets. Because the studio travels rather than working from a single fixed address, sessions can happen in a Layton home or at an outdoor location the family already loves, which some parents prefer over a commercial studio setting. Pricing is published directly on the website rather than requiring a phone call to find out, which makes comparing packages ahead of time straightforward. Inquiries go through the contact form or by phone, and the business also serves clients as far as southern Idaho for families willing to arrange travel.

 

North Ogden studio La Bella Sole Photography spends less time behind the camera and more time walking clients through decisions most families don’t think about until session day: what to wear, how to pose a squirming newborn, and what size print will actually fit above the couch. Layton, Syracuse, Kaysville, and Farmington families drive north to the studio at 325 E. 2000 N., where newborn sessions are built around a slow, guided pace rather than a fixed shot list. The approach leans on soft wraps, wood tones, and greenery rather than bright colors or elaborate sets, giving portraits a quiet, timeless look. Beyond newborns, the studio also handles first birthday milestones, family portraits, couples, and boudoir work, so returning clients can book the same photographer as their family grows. Every session ends with help choosing wall art rather than simply handing over a gallery link, which the studio treats as part of the experience rather than an upsell. Questions before booking go through a short form on the newborn page, and the studio’s online reviews come largely from Davis and Weber County clients who mention the styling guidance most. For Layton parents who’ve never done a newborn session before, that hands-on planning support is the detail most worth knowing about ahead of time.

 

Mine to Adore runs a dedicated newborn studio out of Syracuse, built specifically around babies in their first two weeks of life. Families across Davis County drive in from Layton, Clearfield, Farmington, and Clinton for sessions timed to a newborn’s natural sleepy stretch, when swaddling and gentle posing come together easiest. The studio keeps its own supply of wraps, headbands, and backdrops on hand, so parents don’t need to arrive with props in tow. Sessions are unhurried by design, with breaks built in for feeding and soothing between setups. The portfolio leans toward soft, true-to-skin-tone color work rather than heavy editing, with a focus on small details: curled fingers, a headband slipping sideways, the particular way a newborn’s chest rises during sleep. Beyond studio newborn sessions, Mine to Adore also offers birth story and maternity photography, giving Layton-area families a single studio to work with across pregnancy and the earliest days after delivery. Online booking runs through email, with a typical response inside a day. For a Layton family weighing a studio session against an in-home one, the dedicated space removes the guesswork of styling a nursery or living room for photos, since everything needed is already set up and ready.

 

Wave + Wonder Photography runs its newborn business out of a Davis County home studio, with sessions described around small, specific details — tiny hands and feet, sleepy yawns — rather than broad marketing language about the overall experience. Both studio and in-home session formats are available, which lets families choose whichever setting keeps a newborn calmest. The service area covers Davis and Weber counties along with Clearfield, Layton, Sunset, Roy, Clinton, Farmington, and Centerville, indicating a practice built specifically around northern Utah’s smaller cities rather than concentrated in Salt Lake City proper. Booking language on the site referencing active 2026 availability suggests ongoing scheduling rather than a stale or inactive listing. Birth and Fresh 48 photography are also part of the studio’s offerings, giving families the option to document labor and the very first hours in addition to a standard newborn session days or weeks later. For Layton parents specifically interested in the smaller, closely observed detail shots that define lifestyle newborn photography, this home-studio practice is built around exactly that focus. 

Working from a Kaysville base just south of Layton, Michelle Deppe Photography covers a wide stretch of Davis County — Clearfield, Layton, Centerville, Syracuse, Bountiful, and Woods Cross — along with parts of Salt Lake County. The practice isn’t limited to newborns alone; family, maternity, senior, and headshot sessions round out the business, which means the photographer’s newborn work benefits from broader portrait experience rather than being a narrow specialty. Session galleries include both dedicated newborn portraits and a category simply labeled newborn session, suggesting a mix of studio-style and lifestyle formats depending on what a family requests. Serving such a wide swath of Davis County from a single home base reflects a business built around driving to clients rather than expecting families to travel to a fixed studio address, which is a meaningful convenience for parents managing a newborn’s schedule. For Layton families who prefer a photographer with broad portrait range rather than a newborn-only specialist, this Kaysville-based option covers the full spectrum of family milestones. 

A recurring roster of named Layton families — the Cavalieris, the Vasquezes, and others documented directly on the studio’s blog — shows Heather Larsen Photography has built specific, repeated ties to the Layton newborn community rather than treating it as one stop on a wider northern Utah circuit. The style is described as warm and timeless, favoring soft, muted tones over bright or heavily saturated processing, which tends to age well in printed form for years after the session. Sessions cover the broader northern Utah region, from Ogden and Salt Lake City up through Logan and Cache Valley, but the volume of Layton-specific blog posts suggests a particularly active client base in that city. The photographer’s approach blends classic newborn posing with a lifestyle sensibility, so galleries typically include both carefully arranged studio-style portraits and looser, candid family interaction. For Layton parents who want to see actual examples of other local families’ sessions before booking, the studio’s public blog archive offers an unusually transparent look at real past work. 

Operating four studio locations across Ogden, Layton, Salt Lake City, and Taylorsville, Haley Thomas Photography has scaled its newborn offering wider than most single-studio competitors in northern Utah. Sessions run 55 minutes and are structured to include family and sibling portraits alongside the newborn portraits themselves, so parents leave with a fuller record of that first week rather than only solo baby images. Clients receive more than 30 high-resolution digital downloads per session, a package size aimed at families who want a complete gallery rather than a handful of curated shots. The multi-location setup means a family living near the Layton studio doesn’t have to travel into Salt Lake City or Ogden for an appointment, which matters when scheduling around a newborn’s unpredictable naps and feedings. The overall look favors soft, posed studio portraiture with simple wraps and neutral tones, built for a classic result that photographs well printed large for a nursery wall. For Layton families who want a studio experience without a long drive, this is one of the more accessible local options. 

More than 190 five-star Google reviews point to a Layton studio that has become a go-to option for Davis County families over the past decade of operation. Newborn sessions are offered in two distinct formats: a clean, neutral studio setup at the Layton location, and in-home lifestyle visits for parents who’d rather keep a days-old baby at home. The studio style leans toward soft, timeless posing rather than trend-driven props, which keeps the images from feeling dated a few years later. Fresh 48 sessions — booked within the first two days after birth, often at the hospital — are also part of the regular offering, appealing to families who want documentation of the very earliest hours. Beyond Layton, the practice extends into Ogden, Salt Lake City, and Utah County, reflecting a client base that spans most of the Wasatch Front. The volume of long-term repeat clients, visible through the studio’s blog archive of returning families booking milestone sessions year after year, speaks to a business built on relationships rather than one-off transactions. 

Jen Kunz calls herself a wedding storyteller, and her base in South Weber puts her minutes from Layton, Kaysville, Farmington, and the rest of Davis County’s wedding venues. Her galleries range widely in scale and setting — she’s photographed intimate elopements tucked into mountain meadows as easily as large receptions inside downtown Salt Lake ballrooms — but the throughline across her portfolio is a natural, timeless editing style that avoids heavy filters or trends likely to date the images in a few years. She describes her goal on a wedding day simply: capturing the real laughter, the happy tears, and the beautiful chaos in between the scheduled moments, rather than only the posed portraits on the shot list. Beyond weddings, her studio also handles engagement sessions across mountain, canyon, and urban Utah locations, along with family, maternity, newborn, senior, and even real estate photography, which speaks to a broad technical range beyond wedding-day work alone. Her website includes a detailed FAQ section and published pricing information, a level of transparency that makes early planning easier for couples comparing photographers. For Layton couples who want a photographer deeply familiar with Davis County’s specific mix of mountain, canyon, and urban backdrops, her local home base is a genuine advantage over shooters based further away in Salt Lake City. 

For more than ten years, Marie Long has been the photographer many Davis County families call on for more than just their wedding — she’s often the same photographer who later shoots the maternity announcement, the newborn portraits, and the growing family’s yearly session. That continuity across life stages is central to how she describes her own work: less about a single transaction and more about being present for a family’s unfolding story. Based in Layton, her wedding portfolio spans both traditional posed portraiture and a more relaxed, lifestyle-driven documentary approach, letting couples choose how directed they want their coverage to feel. She also photographs births, a specialty that requires a different kind of readiness and discretion than wedding work, and that same sensitivity to real, unscripted moments carries over into how she shoots ceremonies and receptions. Wedding packages typically include ceremony and reception coverage, engagement sessions, and options for destination weddings, along with a range of print products — albums, canvas prints, and high-resolution digital files are all part of her standard offerings. As a woman-owned local studio, she’s built her client base largely on repeat bookings and referrals from past Layton-area couples rather than heavy paid marketing, which tends to track with consistently satisfied clients. 

Aubrey Elise didn’t set out to be a full-time wedding photographer — she studied psychology and statistics in college — but nine years and more than 100 weddings later, that academic background shows up in how methodically she plans a wedding-day timeline. Based in Kaysville, just minutes from Layton, she’s become a familiar face at Davis County venues and at the Layton Temple specifically, where several of her published galleries were shot. Her tagline, ‘Intentional Photos that last a lifetime,’ reflects a style built around true-to-color, real-feeling images rather than heavy editing trends that date quickly. She went full-time in photography in 2021 and now offers a range of formats beyond standard digital coverage, including 35mm film, drone aerials, and video add-ons for couples who want more than a static gallery. On wedding days, past clients specifically mention her calm, prepared presence — she’s shown up with an emergency kit for last-minute dress repairs and stayed attentive through unexpected hiccups without losing the timeline. Wedding coverage starts at $2,000, and travel within Northern Utah is typically included at no extra charge. For couples getting married at or near the Layton Temple, her local familiarity with the area’s light, timing, and logistics is a genuine advantage. 

Lauren Kay describes her own work as capturing ‘love stories on camera in a natural, authentic fashion,’ and it’s an apt summary for a studio that leans hard into documentary-style wedding coverage over posed portraiture. Based in Layton, she’s earned a reputation for showing up prepared for anything — safety pins, bobby pins, and blankets are a standing part of her wedding-day kit, the kind of small detail that tells you she’s thought through the day from a bride’s point of view, not just a photographer’s. Beyond the camera work, she runs a wedding-focused podcast and shares planning resources with clients, which means couples booking her often get more support during the engagement period than just a shot list conversation. Packages start at $1,600, making her one of the more accessible full-coverage options in the Layton area, and destination wedding coverage is available for couples marrying outside Utah. She was named a 2022 WeddingWire Couples’ Choice Award winner, and her five reviews carry a perfect 5-star average, with clients repeatedly mentioning how relaxed and personal the experience felt. For couples who want documentary-style photography without a documentary-sized price tag, Lauren Kay Photography is a strong, budget-conscious option in Davis County. 

Jessie and Dallin run their photography business the way they’d want a friend to photograph their own wedding — connection first, camera second. The husband-and-wife team, listed in Layton, has built an international following for candid, documentary-style imagery, going so far as to launch their own publication, Adventure Wed Magazine, dedicated to elopements and adventurous wedding storytelling. Their core philosophy, which they describe as ‘connection over perfection,’ means they’d rather capture a genuine laugh mid-motion than a perfectly symmetrical posed shot, and couples consistently say the resulting galleries feel like them rather than like generic wedding-magazine stock photography. They limit the number of weddings they take on each year, which keeps their attention on each couple higher than studios running a higher-volume model. Coverage extends well beyond a single ceremony — engagement sessions, elopements, and destination weddings across the Mountain West are all part of their regular work, and second-shooter coverage is available for larger events. Named a 2024 WeddingWire Couples’ Choice Award winner and holding a perfect 5-star rating across 11 reviews, Jessie and Dallin have become a go-to choice for couples in Davis County who want a team, not just a photographer, showing up on their wedding day. 

‘A friend first, photographer next’ is how Katelyn Keddington sums up her approach, and it’s a philosophy that runs through every part of her Layton-based studio. Rather than treating a wedding day like a shot list to execute, she leans into natural light and unscripted moments, aiming for what she calls a light, airy, and fresh aesthetic with a fine-art edge — soulful and soft rather than heavily posed. Based at her studio in Layton, Utah, she serves couples across Northern Utah and beyond, with wedding packages starting at $2,950 that can be built out with videography, boudoir sessions, bridals, and custom heirloom albums. Every client also receives a 24-hour sneak peek gallery after the wedding, a detail that speaks to how much she understands the post-wedding wait can feel endless. A second shooter is available on request for larger or more logistically complex weddings. Her portfolio reads as intentional and editorial without feeling cold — engagement rings catching afternoon light, candid laughter between the ceremony and reception, quiet in-between moments most photographers rush past. With 16 reviews and a perfect 5-star average, and as a woman-owned business, Katelyn Keddington Photography has built a following among couples who want fine-art quality without losing the emotional core of the day. 

Rachel Lindsey brings a rare vantage point to wedding photography: she’s been the bride, not just the photographer behind the lens. That perspective shapes how she runs a wedding day now — as a mother of four based near Salt Lake City and Park City, she’s built a business around making brides feel like themselves rather than models being directed through a checklist. Her galleries land somewhere between classic and current, sophisticated without being stiff, joyful without losing polish. Clients who want a second photographer, extended coverage hours, or a full destination wedding package can build it into their collection, and her portfolio spans everything from Park City mountain ceremonies to more intimate elopements across Northern Utah, including Layton and the surrounding Davis County area. Reviews consistently point to her calm, prepared presence on the wedding day itself — the kind of photographer couples say they forgot was even working because she moved so unobtrusively through the event. With 18 reviews and a perfect 5-star average, Rachel Lindsey Photography has built a loyal following among Utah couples who want images that feel like their story, not a stock template. She’s also known for being upfront and responsive during the planning process, which matters as much to most couples as the final gallery. 

Chris and Erinn Austin met photography the way many creative couples do — separately, then found they made better work together. Poppy & Hive Photography has been capturing Utah weddings since 2014, building a reputation for what they call ‘timeless over trending’: images built to look as good in twenty years as they do on the wedding blog they’re published in the week after. The husband-and-wife team’s roots trace back to California, but Utah is home now, and their portfolio reflects it — Wasatch mountain elopements, downtown Salt Lake ballroom receptions, and everything in between across Davis and Salt Lake counties. Full wedding coverage starts at $2,800, and clients can add engagements, bridals, and second-shooter coverage depending on the day’s complexity. Beyond weddings, the studio also shoots maternity, family, and proposal sessions, which means they’re often the photographer a couple hires more than once across different life stages. Their fine-art, editorial approach has landed their work on the covers of wedding magazines and in numerous blog features, and with 31 reviews and a perfect rating, they’ve built the kind of client base that keeps referring friends. Couples looking for a team that treats the wedding gallery like a body of art, not just documentation, tend to gravitate here. 

Nearly six decades before wedding photography apps and mirrorless cameras existed, Robert Wood opened a studio in Layton and started photographing Davis County couples on their wedding day. That was 1968. Today his son, Chris Wood, carries the family name forward, running the same Layton studio out of the Grand Victorian reception center while blending the classic portrait sensibility his father built the business on with a more contemporary, documentary feel couples now expect. What sets this studio apart from newer boutique shooters is depth of institutional memory — they’ve photographed inside nearly every reception hall, temple grounds, and backyard venue Davis County has to offer, and that familiarity shows up in how efficiently the day runs. Packages are built to flex with budget, covering everything from a single ceremony session to full-day multi-location coverage, and albums are still hand-assembled in Italy rather than machine-printed, a detail that hearkens back to the studio’s earliest years. Second shooters, slideshows, and engagement sessions round out the offering. With 42 reviews and a 4.9 rating, Robert Wood Photography has earned WeddingWire’s Couples’ Choice Award in multiple years, and it remains one of the few Layton studios where a couple can genuinely say their photographer has done this literally thousands of times.
