Moab Adventure

Looking for a Photographer in Moab?

Claire is an adventurous wedding and family photographer who can take you to the best locations for your photos in Moab, Utah. Popular locations include Arches National Park and Dead Horse Point, but we can go anywhere. A photo session is more of an adventure than just stand and pose. We meet and have a fun time together, walk a trail, explore arches while Claire takes a variety of photos. Wether you’re wanting a proposal captured, family photos, maternity session or celebrate an engagement this is an opportunity to dress up and have photos taken with world famous arches and red rocks in the background.

Claire is not a photographer that will show up and just take a few photos. She likes meeting new people, exploring new places and hearing your stories. Available for weddings, elopements, proposals, senior pictures, family reunions and events. There are many other locations in Utah I will travel to as well, Bryce Canyon, Goblin Valley, Monument Valley – let’s go on an adventure!

Family Photo Session in Arches National Park

Arches National Park is a great choice for everyone, whether a family, senior or looking to propose. My favourite trails are Double Arch and Turret Arch as they offer a variety of backdrops, pathways and arches. There is easy access to trails from the parking lot with two bathrooms for changing outfits. Other locations in the park include Park Avenue, the Three Gossips, La Sal Mountain overlook to name just three. We can also hike to Delicate Arch or one of the many other trails leading to other arches. Best time for a session is the two hours before sunset.

Seniors Session

Arches National Park is an amazing place to have your senior pictures take . I can shoot there any time of the year , so you could have your senior pictures taken on a family vacation. I like to walk a couple of trails and take the time to get creative with different looks and poses. I recommend you bring a couple of different outfits with you, even three, if you wish!

Proposals

So many locations in the Moab area offer red rocks and a romantic vibe for couples portraits. If you are wanting drama then Canyonlands or Dead Horse Point over look are pretty amazing. if you want to travel out to somewhere different I am in ! With hundreds of arches, waterfalls and desert landscapes in the area it’s really hard to choose! But I can give you ideas on what works best for photos at the time of day you want to shoot.

About Claire

I am an adventurer originally from the UK now living in Grand Junction. I have traveled around the world and when people ask me where is my favourite place I say “Moab, Utah”. I love the desert with big open skies and puffy clouds. I have visited Arches National Park over 100+ times. I recall motorcycling around it when the park still had a dirt road and sitting at Delicate Arch by myself before social media caused the area to explode. I feel lucky to live near such an outdoorsy adventurous place and one that is awesome for photography. I started offering photo sessions because I know how difficult it is to take a great family portrait in the parks. There is nothing more frustrating than leaving the area without one good photo of yourself and your family. This is where I come in, I know the park well, I know where to take you based on lighting and weather. I know how to take rock art family photos and where to place you on busy trails. I am good at directing and getting the kids involved and keeping everyone happy and having fun. I enjoy meeting new people and hearing their stories. I am always excited about each new photo session and to see who I will meet next.

Photo Session At Dead Horse Point

Dead Horse Point in Canyonlands is hard to beat for the views. The horseshoe river bend and canyon landscape is an amazing backdrop for family photo sessions. The best time of day to shoot here is sunrise or early morning if you want a clear view of the river bend like in this family picture. This particular morning we had unexpected snow and it was freezing but so worth it as the dusting of snow made it picture perfect. Don’t worry about weather, I prefer clouds over blue skies as it will add interest to the photos.

BRIDAl Sessions

Bridal sessions are for couples wanting pictures in their wedding outfits. We can go to Arches National Park or Dead Horse Point, or any location of your choice in the Moab area. This image is of a bridal session at Turret Arch. Pictures here are best shot at sunset when the arch lights up with beautiful golden light.
