Fall is one of my favorite times of year to photograph families. The weather is cooler, the leaves begin to change, and there’s something about slowing down together that makes for the sweetest moments.


This year's Fall Collection has been carefully planned with your feedback in mind. I asked hundreds of past and future clients what locations, weekends, and scenery they loved most—and your responses helped shape this season's lineup.


Rather than offering dozens of locations, I've chosen a handful of beautiful places that each offer something unique while staying true to the natural, connection-focused style that I love to photograph.


Here's a sneak peek of what's coming this fall!

Green Spring Gardens

 

If you love flowers, winding garden paths, and soft, timeless colors, Green Spring Gardens is for you.


Early fall is one of my favorite times to photograph here because everything is still lush and vibrant. The gardens offer a beautiful mix of flowers, stone walkways, and greenery that works wonderfully for families with young children.


This location is perfect if you're looking for:

Soft, colorful backgrounds

Classic family portraits

Young children who love to explore

October:

Old Town Alexandria  & CapitOl Hill

Old Town is always one of the most requested locations—and for good reason.


Cobblestone streets, colorful doors, charming architecture, and beautiful alleyways make every corner feel unique.


These sessions have a classic, elegant feel while still leaving plenty of room for kids to laugh, run, and simply be themselves.

November:

Fall Foliage in Falls Church and Fairfax

Cherry Hill is one of my signature fall locations because it provides the perfect backdrop without ever taking attention away from your family.


If your dream session includes vibrant fall color, this is the weekend to choose.


Perfect for:

  • Peak fall foliage
  • Families with children of all ages
  • Cozy sweaters
  • Holiday cards

Downtown Vienna

 

 

These sessions feature festive decorations and a cozy holiday atmosphere while still keeping the focus on your family—not elaborate props.


They're perfect if you're looking for updated family photos before Christmas or beautiful images for holiday cards and gifts.
