Hey there! My name is Arika and I am the owner/founder of Zion Adventure Photog. I am a Southern Utah girl, born and raised. I started Zion Adventure Photog 8 years ago as a way to spend as much time outdoors as possible doing what I truly love. Being an entrepreneur has been a wild ride and besides my three kiddos it is the one thing I am most proud of.

 

I love meeting travelers from all over the world and showing them the magic of Southern Utah.

 

Getting to capture couples and families out spending time in nature is the absolute best!

"Hire them! Arika was so amazing. We wanted family photos for our 10-year anniversary.  Arika knew all the cool spots (we are not from the area).  We wanted epic views, but we also needed a location we could hike to with toddlers, and the location Arika recommended was perfect.  For many, family photos can be a drag to get through, but we had so much fun. Arika helped us all feel at ease and was so good with the kids.  And of course, the final photos turned out amazing."
