Custom Wall Art and Heirloom Albums.

Your family deserves to live on your walls, not in your phone.

Boutique family photography in the

Greater Salt Lake Valley.

I'm Brian Smyer. I photograph families across the Salt Lake Valley, and I do it a little differently. It starts with a quick intro call. No pressure, no expectation to buy anything.

Just a conversation to see if we're the right fit.

From there, every session ends in your home, with your portraits projected onto your own walls. You see exactly what your family looks like as art before anything is printed. What you keep is custom wall art and heirloom albums. Not another folder of files.

How it works

The Intro Call
We start with a short call. I learn about your family, walk you through the experience, and answer everything. If we're a good fit, we plan your session right then, or set up a separate planning time that works for you.

There are a coffee mug, open notebook, green water bottle, some mail, and a potted plant on the island. The background shows wooden kitchen cabinets, a stove, and a large window with a view of a mountainous landscape.

The Session
I hand-pick a location for your family and we shoot in the best light of the day. No stiff posing. Just your family, as you actually are.

The Reveal
A few weeks later, I come to you. Your images are projected onto your walls at real size. You'll know exactly what belongs in your home before you choose anything.
