Searching for a Perry photographer who knows this stretch of Box Elder County? I’m Jen Kunz, and I photograph families, weddings, maternity sessions, newborns, seniors, and branding work in Perry and the communities that surround it. Tucked between Brigham City and Willard along the I-15 corridor, Perry offers orchard-lined roads, mountain views, and a peaceful, small-town feel that translates beautifully into portraits. If you want images that are honest, warm, and actually look like your life, I’d love to hear from you.
Small-town beauty along the Wasatch
Perry is easy to overlook if you’re just passing through on the interstate, but anyone who lives here knows better. The fruit orchards run east toward the mountains, the fields stretch to the west, and the whole town has a quiet, unhurried quality that makes it a pleasure to photograph in. The Wasatch Range rises right behind the community, giving us dramatic mountain backdrops without driving anywhere. It’s one of those places where you can park the car, walk fifty feet, and be standing in a portrait-worthy location.
I photograph sessions throughout Box Elder County — Brigham City, Willard, Mantua, and the surrounding areas — so Perry fits naturally into my regular working territory. The light along this stretch of the valley is consistently beautiful, and I’ve learned where to be and when to be there across every season.
What I photograph in Perry
Families
Family sessions in Perry feel relaxed from the start. The open orchards and quiet roads give us space and privacy, and kids have room to move without anyone worrying about traffic or crowds. I photograph families of all sizes and configurations — just the two of you, a house full of littles, multi-generational gatherings, all of it. My job is to direct you into great light and natural positions, then step back and capture the real stuff: the laughter, the hand-holds, the kid who won’t stop climbing on dad.
Weddings & Elopements
As a Perry wedding photographer, I understand that weddings in this area are often personal, family-centered celebrations. Whether it’s a ceremony in a backyard orchard, a reception at a nearby venue, or an elopement with mountain views, I document the day honestly and completely. I’m there for the quiet moments as much as the big ones — the look before the first kiss, the grandmother wiping her eyes, the dance floor when everyone forgets the camera exists.
Maternity
The orchard roads and open fields around Perry create beautiful, serene maternity settings. I work with natural light and simple wardrobe — a flowing dress, soft colors, and a location that gives us warmth and space. Most expecting clients book between 28 and 34 weeks, and I build every maternity session around your energy and comfort. No complicated setups, no rushing.
Newborns
For Perry families, newborn sessions happen right in your home. I bring my camera and work with whatever natural light your space provides — no studio lights, no elaborate backdrops. The images focus on your baby in your arms, in your space, during those early days that go by faster than anyone warns you. I typically photograph newborns within the first 14 days, when they’re still in that sleepy, curled-up stage.
Senior Pictures
Senior portraits in Perry and the surrounding area give us a range of options — orchard rows for a soft, natural look, mountain trails for something more adventurous, or Brigham City’s Main Street for an urban touch. I get to know each senior’s personality before we shoot, so we choose locations and styles that actually feel like them. I coach posing the whole time, so even camera-shy seniors end up with images they’re proud of.
Real Estate & Branding
As a Perry branding photographer, I provide professional headshots, lifestyle branding images, and real estate photography for businesses and agents in Box Elder County. Whether you’re building a personal brand, updating your website, or listing a property, I deliver clean, sharp images that present you and your work at their best. Professional visuals build credibility, and I make the process easy.
Perry locations and when they shine
Perry’s location gives us access to orchards, mountain foothills, reservoir shorelines, and rural roads — all within a short drive. I’ve photographed in every corner of this area and I’m always happy to recommend a spot that matches your session goals.
| Location | Look & Feel | Best Time |
|---|---|---|
| Perry orchard roads | Fruit tree rows, blossoms in spring, rustic fences | Spring bloom and fall harvest, golden hour |
| Three Mile Creek area | Creek banks, cottonwood shade, meadow grass | Summer and early fall, late afternoon |
| Foothills east of Perry | Sagebrush slopes, wide mountain views | Year-round sunset |
| Willard Bay (nearby) | Sandy beach, open water, sunset reflections | Summer and early fall evening |
| Dale Morgan Park (Brigham City) | Green grass, shade trees, pavilions | Year-round, golden hour best |
Personal locations are always welcome. A family farm, a backyard with a view, a porch you love — sometimes the most meaningful session happens in the place you already know best.
Planning your session without the fuss
- Wardrobe that photographs well: Choose coordinating colors in soft, muted tones — olive, cream, slate blue, warm tan. Avoid matchy-matchy outfits and anything with distracting text or patterns.
- Timing that flatters: Golden hour is when the light does its best work, and I schedule accordingly. You’ll get a specific start time based on the season and our chosen location.
- Kids, snacks, sanity: Bring their favorite snack and a backup snack. Let them be silly. I promise the candid moments are the ones you’ll frame.
- Movement over stiffness: I’ll have you walk, talk, hug, play — real connection creates real expressions. I handle the directing; you handle the being yourselves.
For maternity sessions, prioritize comfort — shoes you can walk in, a dress that flows and flatters. Newborn families, just keep the house warm and the baby fed. For seniors, bring outfits that feel like you and we’ll figure out the rest together.
Style you can count on
My camera of choice is a Nikon Z6III with fast prime lenses built for natural light work. The editing style I bring to every session is clean, real, and built to last. Skin tones look like actual skin. Colors are warm and honest — no heavy filters, no orange tint, no moody desaturation. I want your images to feel like the moment felt, and to look just as beautiful in ten years as they do today. Every gallery also includes a selection of black and white edits, because some expressions carry more weight without color.
Seasonal rhythm across Perry
Perry’s orchards set the pace for the year. Spring brings a wave of pink and white blossoms that make for stunning portrait backdrops — if you want orchard bloom photos, book early because the window is short. Summer opens up the foothills and stretches golden hour well into the evening. Fall delivers harvest tones, warm light, and some of the best portrait conditions of the year. Winter is quieter, but snow-dusted orchards and mountain views have a beauty that pairs perfectly with cozy in-home sessions and intimate couple shoots. I photograph year-round and plan every session around what the season offers.
Quick answers for curious people
- How far in advance should I book? Two to four weeks for most sessions; weddings, three to six months.
