Big views, golden hills, and a family who showed up ready for adventure. This sweet crew met me for a quick fall mini session, and they absolutely nailed it. So much warmth, so much connection, and those autumn colors showed off in every direction. Mini sessions move fast — about 20 minutes — but when everyone leans in the way this family did, it’s more than enough time to create something beautiful. About this location This spot is breathtaking. Wide open mountain views, rolling color in the fall, and dramatic backdrops everywhere you turn. It’s about 45 minutes from the Orem/Provo area and accessed by a dirt road, so an all-wheel or four-wheel drive vehicle is strongly recommended. During peak fall season, it can also be busy. A little patience and flexibility go a long way, but the payoff is pretty spectacular. Who this location is perfect for Adventurous families who don’t mind a bit of a drive and want epic scenery that feels big and cinematic. If you’re up for the journey, it delivers every time.
Can you even believe Lilly's eyes with the green dress? She made the bold (and very wise) decision to take her photos in late fall instead of spring, and the golden leaves could not have matched her bright, joyful personality more perfectly. She was relaxed, playful, and completely herself from the moment we started. About the Location One of my favorite things about this spot is how close it is to the Provo/Orem area — about 20 minutes — yet it feels like you’re tucked deep in the mountains. Access is incredibly easy. We’re right next to the parking lot, which makes it perfect for quick outfit changes or warming up in the car between sets. It’s beautiful year round: lush in summer, glowing in fall, and absolutely magical with fresh snow. If you want mountain views without a long hike, variety in your backgrounds, and flexibility for multiple outfits, this is a fantastic choice.
