The fall season in the DC area is so beautiful. I love having options for choosing the best outdoor location for family sessions - this can include not only Washington DC, but also Maryland and Northern Virginia!

One area I love offering outdoor family sessions during the fall is Old Town Alexandria! Old Town is in Northern Virginia, really just over the bridge from DC. I’ve had quite a few family sessions in Alexandria, Virginia including this family and this family.

Old Town Alexandria is such a great location for family sessions. There are beautiful homes, greenery, landscaping, a cobblestone path, and even the water! There is also a beautiful colorful mural that I’ve used a few times!

There is enough variety in Old Town Alexandria to include for walking family photos, capturing family connection, and beautiful colors.

Have you ever thought about scheduling family photos in the Northern Virginia area? Send me a message to learn more about how to get your family session scheduled!

I want to start off this blog post showing gratitude for all of you that trust me to photograph your family! It’s such a honor to give families the gift of family photography because photos really do matter. A LOT!

This was my first time photographing this beautiful family of three. We had the session at Green Spring Gardens in Alexandria, Virginia.

Neither the family nor I had actually been to Green Spring Gardens before this session! The family was looking for something within the Alexandria area and this location came to mind!

They do require a permit but it is very reasonable and means I can do even more sessions at Green Spring Gardens! Most of my sessions are within the Maryland and DC areas and I am always up for the adventure working with families in Northern Virginia.

I am so happy with how the gallery came out for this lifestyle family session. One thing you’ll notice about my lifestyle family photography is that I move around a lot to get interesting and unique perspectives when photographing families. The session usually lasts around 45 minutes which often is enough time to get a full gallery of lifestyle family photos. I’ll prompt and guide some interaction to get genuine expressions from family members.
