Find the Best Photographers in Utah

Maegan Stallings Photography operates directly out of Provo, at a Center Street address in the heart of downtown rather than a neighboring suburb, making it one of the few newborn photographers on this list actually based in the city. Maegan describes her path into photography as starting with a teenage hobby that grew into a full-time job, and newborn and maternity sessions now sit alongside her wedding, family, and senior portrait work. A client testimonial specifically describes booking both maternity and newborn sessions with her back to back, calling the experience easy and fun and noting she was still amazed by the results months later — a useful signal for expecting parents trying to plan both sessions with one photographer. Pricing is a stated priority for the business; Maegan writes directly on her site about keeping rates accessible so more families can afford a professional session, rather than positioning the studio at the luxury end of the market. Her portfolio includes a dedicated newborn gallery separate from her family and wedding work, giving prospective clients a way to review baby-specific images before booking rather than judging her from wedding photos alone. For Provo parents who want a locally based, affordably priced newborn photographer with a track record spanning maternity through the newborn stage, Maegan Stallings Photography is a genuinely local option. 

Amber Bryson has spent more than ten years photographing newborns, babies, and families from a dedicated home studio in Orem, immediately next door to Provo. The studio is stocked with its own backdrops, props, and outfits, so the stated goal for clients is simple: bring the baby, and everything else is handled. For families who’d rather not manage a newborn car seat and diaper bag on top of styling decisions, Amber also offers full in-home sessions, bringing her studio setup directly into a Provo living room. A client testimonial on her site specifically praises her patience with a fussy baby and calm demeanor throughout the session, a detail that matters more in newborn photography than in almost any other genre, where a stressed baby can end a shoot early. As a mother herself, Amber describes newborn safety and comfortable, secure posing as her top priority, ahead of getting a particular shot. Her stated style is true-to-color and classic rather than heavily filtered or trend-chasing, aiming for images that read as timeless rather than tied to a specific year. Booking windows are managed in advance — her site lists open dates months out — suggesting steady demand from repeat and referral clients across Provo, Orem, and the wider Utah Valley. 

Clint and Shanda Decker have run their photography and videography business, now branded Louish, out of Saratoga Springs since the early 1990s, giving them one of the longer track records among Provo-area newborn photographers on this list. Newborn and infant work sits alongside wedding photography, videography, family portraits, and senior sessions as a distinct, separately priced service rather than a minor add-on, and the studio publishes dedicated infant and hospital-photography pricing pages. That hospital option stands out: the Deckers will photograph a baby’s very first hours at the hospital, not only later studio sessions, which some newborn specialists don’t offer at all. Decades in the wedding and portrait business have also built a large surrounding social presence — active YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and Flickr channels under the Louish name — giving prospective Provo clients an unusually deep archive of past work to review before booking. The studio itself sits in Saratoga Springs, a manageable drive from Provo, and the team is upfront that requests outside their normal Salt Lake and Utah County service area are still welcome by request. For families who want a newborn photographer backed by three decades of continuous local operation rather than a newer solo studio, the Deckers offer that kind of longevity. 

Sarah Sanchez runs her newborn photography business from Santaquin, at the southern edge of Utah County, and explicitly extends her service area to include Provo families. Billing herself as an award-winning newborn specialist, she leans into fine detail work — tiny fingers, eyelashes, the folds of a sleeping infant — as the emotional center of each gallery rather than an afterthought. As a mother of six herself, Sarah brings firsthand experience handling a fussy, unpredictable newborn schedule into how she structures sessions, building in time for feeding and settling rather than rushing through a shot list. Her client testimonials describe both wedding and newborn work, suggesting a photographer who has built a diverse practice over more than a decade behind the camera rather than one who recently pivoted into baby photography. The visual style favors timeless, classic posing and soft studio light over trend-driven props, aiming for portraits that won’t look dated in a few years. Beyond newborns, she also offers portrait and small commercial photography, which speaks to an established, multi-service studio rather than a single-package operation. For Provo parents willing to make the drive south into Utah County, Sarah Sanchez Photography offers an experienced, specifically newborn-focused option with a personal understanding of what a big, busy family actually needs from a session. 

Working out of a Spanish Fork studio just minutes from Provo, Victoria Harris Photography has built its newborn business around safety and patience rather than speed. Victoria is licensed and insured for infant work — a detail she highlights up front, since posed newborn photography carries real physical risk when handled by an untrained photographer. Sessions run at the baby’s pace, with breaks for feeding and soothing built into the schedule rather than treated as an interruption. Beyond newborns, the portfolio spans baby milestones, maternity, family, and even local youth sports coverage, giving the business a broad base of repeat clients across Utah County. The visual style favors soft, true-to-color editing over heavy filters, letting the baby’s actual skin tone and features come through in the final images. Provo families are within easy reach of the Spanish Fork studio, and Victoria also offers on-location sessions for clients who’d rather stay closer to home. A steady stream of fresh portfolio work posted throughout 2026 — including newborn sessions delivered just weeks before this listing was compiled — points to an actively booking, currently operating studio rather than a stale web presence. For parents in Provo who want a newborn photographer with formal safety training and a demonstrated, current body of work, Victoria Harris Photography is a nearby option worth a look. 

Amber has spent the last 12 years building AM Photography around newborn, maternity, and milestone portraiture, working out of a home studio in Layton and driving into Park City, Provo, Ogden, and the rest of Davis County for sessions. Her own path into the business started personally — with her daughter Maddison, now the reason she says photography became a career rather than a hobby — and that family-first framing carries into how she talks about working with infants: clients consistently note her patience and steady hand at keeping a newborn calm and safe through a full session. The finished products lean toward keepsake-grade presentation, with heirloom-quality prints and albums delivered in keepsake boxes rather than a simple digital download link. Safety protocols get specific mention on her site, which matters for the more elaborate posed setups common in newborn photography — wrapping, prop use, and positioning all carry real risk if handled carelessly. AM Photography’s reach into Park City puts it on the wider edge of her service area compared to her Layton home base, so scheduling around drive time is worth factoring in, but it hasn’t stopped her from building a steady client base across northern Utah over more than a decade of work. 

Clint and Shanda Decker have run their photography and videography business since the early 1990s, making them one of the longest-operating studios serving the Park City market on this list. Based in Saratoga Springs, the Deckers built their reputation primarily on wedding video and photography work before expanding into newborn sessions, which now include both in-studio setups and hospital-room newborn photography for families who want images taken in the first hours after birth. That hospital option is fairly uncommon among the other newborn photographers serving this area, most of whom work exclusively from a home studio or in-home lifestyle format. Because the business handles video alongside stills, some families book both services together — a short video montage alongside the traditional portrait gallery. The Deckers’ newborn portfolio favors classic, simply posed portraiture: wrapped infants against neutral backdrops, soft directional light, minimal props. Serving Salt Lake County and Utah County broadly, with Park City among the areas they regularly travel to, the studio operates more like a full-service production house than a boutique newborn specialist, which can be an advantage for families who want photography, video, and other event coverage handled by one vendor instead of several. 

Rebecca Kayne runs a studio-based newborn practice out of Utah County, with a service radius that stretches from Provo and Orem up through Saratoga Springs, Draper, Heber, and into Park City. Her training includes Milky Way Newborn Retreats and courses under Kelly Brown, both well-known names in the posed newborn-photography world, and it shows in the polished, heirloom-style final products — every deluxe package bundles professional hair and makeup for mom alongside a $200 print credit. The studio keeps a client closet stocked with boutique gowns and wraps, so families don’t need to source outfits themselves, and props are curated rather than pulled from a generic prop box. Twin sessions are a particular specialty, which matters in a market where not every newborn photographer is comfortable managing two infants safely at once. With 10 years of experience behind her, Rebecca positions the work as building keepsakes meant to last, not just a quick set of digital files — pricing runs from Wrapped Minis at $400 up to the full Deluxe package at $700. For Park City families willing to make the drive down to Utah County, the tradeoff is a fully equipped studio environment rather than an in-home lifestyle shoot. 

Sarah Severson has spent 18 years photographing families across the Park City and Heber Valley area, splitting her calendar between sessions in town and out toward Midway and Victory Ranch. Newborn work sits alongside her broader family and couples portfolio, and her approach leans toward relaxed, unscripted interaction rather than a tightly controlled studio setup — a sibling reaching for the baby, a parent mid-laugh, that kind of thing. Clients frequently mention how much homework she does before a session even starts, showing up already knowing names, routines, and the small details that make a shoot feel less like a formal appointment and more like spending an afternoon with someone who already understands your family. That preparation seems to matter most with newborns, where flexibility around feeding and sleep windows makes or breaks the whole afternoon. Sarah works from a home base in the Heber Valley/Midway area but travels regularly into Park City proper, and her galleries mix black-and-white portraiture with warmer, color-forward frames depending on the family’s home and the season. After 18 years in the business, she’s built a client list that skews toward repeat bookings — families who first hired her for a newborn session coming back years later for milestones, siblings, and extended family gatherings. 

Edelweiss Photography is run by Mandy Anderson out of a home studio in Eagle Mountain, Utah, with a service area that stretches from Ogden down through Spanish Fork — covering Utah, Salt Lake, Davis, Tooele, and Summit Counties, South Jordan included. Newborn work has been Mandy’s focus for roughly twelve years, and the business’s own domain, newbornphotographerutah.com, reflects how central that specialty is to her practice, even though she also books maternity sessions under the Edelweiss name. Sessions take place at her home studio rather than on location, giving her control over temperature, lighting, and quiet — details that matter most in the first two weeks of a newborn’s life. Online reviews for the business sit at a perfect five-star average across more than twenty ratings, a track record built up over more than a decade of serving families across the Salt Lake Valley and beyond. The studio keeps regular weekday hours, with extended Saturday availability for families who can’t get away during the week. For a South Jordan family choosing between a downtown studio and a slightly longer drive to Eagle Mountain, Mandy’s tenure and consistent review history make her a dependable option specifically for newborn portraiture, not just a general family photographer who occasionally takes on babies. 

Em J Photography operates a full-service, in-home studio in Syracuse, Utah, and works with clients throughout the northern Utah region. Owner Emily Julander has spent twelve years photographing newborns, and her studio space — built specifically for baby and family portraits, with its own private entrance — reflects that focus. Sessions are baby-led and unhurried, typically running two to three hours so there’s time to work around feeding, soothing, and diaper changes without rushing any part of the process. All wraps, outfits, and props are supplied on-site, so parents are asked to bring only the baby. Beyond newborns, the studio also handles maternity, cake smash, and seasonal family sessions, with a client closet available for maternity gowns. What sets the business apart is its emphasis on physical keepsakes: rather than handing over a folder of digital files, Emily walks each family through a viewing and ordering appointment about two weeks after the session, helping them choose framed or printed pieces meant to be displayed rather than left on a hard drive. A digital copy with a modest print release still comes with every purchase, so families aren’t limited to professional prints alone. Early birds get a discount for booking during the first trimester. 

Kelsey Davis Photography is based in Roy, Utah, and works with families across Ogden, Layton, and the wider Weber and Davis County area. Kelsey’s newborn sessions are built around a relaxed, in-home approach — rather than asking families to travel to a studio, she comes to them, working with the natural light already present in a nursery or living room. The goal is a set of images that feel like an accurate record of those first days at home, not a staged production. Her broader portfolio spans maternity, milestone, and lifestyle family work, and that range shows up in how she approaches newborn sessions too: gentle guidance rather than rigid posing, with room for a baby’s own rhythm to set the pace. Parents who want composed, wrapped studio portraiture may prefer a different style, but for families in Northern Utah looking for a documentary, at-home newborn experience, Kelsey’s sessions are built around comfort first. She also books intimate and micro weddings and senior portraits, giving her a steady year-round presence in the local photography scene. Sessions are scheduled directly through her website, where a short contact form outlines whether a family wants an in-home, outdoor, or studio setting for their shoot. 

My Framed Photography is run by Brittany Stucki, a St. George-based photographer and mother of five who built her business around a simple frustration many parents share: family photos where mom or dad is always missing because someone had to hold the phone. Newborn sessions are offered for babies up to about five months old, with the flexibility to shoot outdoors, inside a client’s own home, or in a rented studio space depending on what works best for a new family still adjusting to life with an infant. Alongside newborns, the business also handles family sessions, senior portraits, and weddings, giving Stucki a wide-ranging portfolio built from years of working with local families rather than a narrow newborn-only focus. Client feedback highlights her patience with young kids during sessions and quick turnaround on final galleries — the Harris family, for instance, praised how she managed a large group of active children during a family reunion shoot and still delivered strong, smiling images. Being a parent of five herself shows up in how sessions are described: less about rigid posing, more about creating a relaxed atmosphere where genuine interaction between family members can happen naturally in front of the camera. For St. George parents who want a newborn photographer who also understands the chaos of a busy household firsthand, Stucki’s own family situation is part of what she brings to each session. 

Brad Wiggins Photography has operated as a general portrait studio in St. George for years, covering everything from engagements and weddings to seniors, maternity, children, and newborns under one roof. That breadth means newborn sessions sit alongside a much wider body of work rather than being the sole focus, but the newborn gallery on his site shows a solid, varied set of posed portraits — solo shots, sibling pairings, and full family arrangements — built up over time. Wiggins describes his overall philosophy as steering away from stiff, generic ‘mall studio’ portraits in favor of images with more personality, an approach that carries into how the newborn work is styled: warmer tones, simple uncluttered backdrops, and compositions that let the baby’s expression do most of the work rather than heavy props. For St. George families who may already need a photographer for an older sibling’s senior photos or an upcoming family session, working with a single studio across multiple life stages has some practical appeal — one point of contact, one consistent editing style, and a working relationship that doesn’t have to be rebuilt for every type of session. It’s a different value proposition than a newborn-only specialist, but for parents prioritizing convenience and a broader portfolio to review, Wiggins’ long-running local studio is a legitimate option worth a look before booking. 

Sierra Williams runs a newborn-only studio tucked into an upstairs loft space in St. George, a setup she built specifically for infant sessions rather than adapting a general portrait studio to fit babies in. She entered photography in 2017, but for close to two years now her calendar has been devoted almost exclusively to newborns, babies, maternity clients, and the families around them — a narrower focus than many photographers in the area attempt. That specialization is backed by more than fifty hours of dedicated newborn-safety training, addressing the handling techniques and warming, soothing routines that posed newborn photography actually requires. Her service area stretches well beyond St. George proper, reaching Washington, Ivins, Santa Clara, Hurricane, Leeds, Toquerville, La Verkin, and Cedar City, along with Mesquite just across the Nevada line — a wide radius for a single-photographer studio. Client reviews on her site repeatedly mention patience during long sessions and a calm, unhurried pace, qualities that matter most when a two-week-old baby is uncooperative. The studio’s aesthetic favors clean, softly lit portraits with an emphasis on tiny details — hands, feet, lashes — alongside broader family and sibling shots worked into the same appointment. Because her loft studio is fully dedicated to this one type of session, families don’t have to work around leftover backdrops or props built for seniors or weddings, which is a distinction worth knowing before booking. 

Kassidy Baker has spent close to two decades photographing newborns and families across Southern Utah, having opened her business back in 2009. That kind of longevity in a small market says something: an entire generation of St. George parents booked their first newborn session with her back when digital photography itself was still fairly new, and many return years later for milestone and family portraits of the same children. Her site organizes work into two distinct galleries — one for families, one dedicated specifically to newborns and young children — a level of specialization that speaks to how much of her calendar newborn work actually fills. The images lean toward soft, dreamy tones with attention to genuine emotion between a parent and a days-old baby, rather than stiff studio posing. Sessions are described as happening across a range of settings, from mountain backdrops to desert scenery to a client’s own home, giving families flexibility depending on how comfortable they feel bringing a newborn out of the house. Baker frames her work less around technical polish and more around the relationships built with each family, describing her goal as showing people ‘your love for your people is magical.’ For St. George parents wanting a photographer with a long, visible track record in this specific niche rather than someone who added newborns as an afterthought to a broader portrait business, Baker’s tenure and dedicated newborn portfolio make a strong case. 

Christina Lynn Portraits is a full-service newborn and family photography studio based in the Provo area, serving families throughout Utah County. Christina built her business around a personal gap she noticed growing up: her own family rarely had portraits on the walls, and she felt that absence more than she expected. That experience shaped her approach with clients now, where the goal isn’t just a photo session but a finished piece of art that ends up displayed in the home.

Her newborn sessions come with hands-on planning support, including wardrobe guidance pulled from a client closet of swaddles and outfits, so parents don’t have to shop or guess what will work. Christina also designs and helps install the final artwork, walking clients through image selection rather than just delivering a gallery of files and leaving them to sort it out.

Working primarily with families in Provo, Lehi, and the broader Utah County area, Christina Lynn Portraits focuses on a calm, patient pace with newborns and young children, something past clients specifically mention when describing their sessions. Prospective clients can reach out through the studio’s website or Instagram to start planning a session. 

Christy Marshall Photography is a Utah County family and newborn studio run by Christy Marshall, who works out of Springville and the surrounding communities. Christy’s interest in photography goes back to childhood, when she was the youngest of five siblings with only a handful of family photos to look back on. That gap stuck with her, and after her first child arrived in 2002 she picked up a digital point-and-shoot camera, then a Nikon D80, and eventually built a full photography business around the equipment she upgraded along the way.

She has been building her skills and client base since 2013 and has run her business officially since 2017, now working with a Nikon Z8. Her newborn sessions run two to three hours, giving babies time to settle, feed, and be soothed between poses, and families can add siblings and parents for an extended combined session. Christy describes her editing style as classic and colorful with a mix of posed and candid images, aiming for photographs that hold up for years rather than chasing a passing trend.

Based in Springville and serving Utah County and the surrounding area, Christy Marshall Photography offers dedicated newborn-only sessions as well as combined newborn-and-family packages, with pricing listed directly on her website. 

Edelweiss Photography is run by Mandy Anderson, a wife and mother of eight who turned years of experience raising her own large family into a dedicated newborn and maternity photography business. Working from a home studio in Eagle Mountain, Mandy extends her services to Orem and dozens of other Utah County and Salt Lake County communities, meeting families where they are for maternity portraits, newborn sessions, and milestone updates through the first year.

Mandy describes her editing process as a form of fine art, spending extensive time on what she calls master retouching so that every finished image holds up as a piece for the wall rather than just a quick print. Sessions are built around listening first: she asks about each family’s story and preferences before planning poses, props, and lighting, rather than running everyone through an identical template.

Having spent years photographing newborns for her own children and now for clients across Utah, Mandy brings a calm, unhurried presence to sessions with babies who are often unpredictable. Parents looking for maternity or newborn photography in Orem can reach Edelweiss Photography directly through the studio’s website to check current session availability and pricing. 

Leah Louviere Photography is based in Ogden but maintains a dedicated Salt Lake City service page that lists South Jordan’s Daybreak community among the neighborhoods she regularly travels to for newborn sessions. With more than ten years of newborn experience and over two hundred five-star Google reviews, Leah has built a reputation for a calm, baby-led approach that never rushes a sleeping newborn into an uncomfortable pose. Families can choose between a studio session in her Ogden space, an in-home appointment where she brings professional lighting and simple newborn styling to South Jordan, or a Fresh 48 session documenting a baby’s first hours at the hospital. Every session leaves plenty of room for feeding, soothing, and breaks, and her editing style stays true-to-color and neutral rather than heavily filtered, so the images hold up well over time. Pricing is transparent and posted directly on her website, ranging from a Fresh 48 session at the hospital to a full in-home newborn appointment with parents and siblings included. Galleries are typically delivered within two to three weeks with full print and personal rights included. For South Jordan parents who want an experienced, highly reviewed newborn photographer willing to make the drive from Ogden, Leah Louviere Photography is worth the advance booking.
