While there are many beautiful outdoor portrait photography locations in Northern Virginia, very few compare to the beauty of Meadowlark Botanical Gardens! Whether you are planning a family photo shoot, a baby’s “one year” pictures, or a seasonal mini session, Meadowlark is hard to beat. It’s got beautiful landscaping, something in bloom throughout most of the year, great structures and nooks for pictures, and a gorgeous backdrop of a lake. Meadowlark sessions are also an experience! Usually I suggest that Clients with young kids bring a stroller and come prepared for a nice walk through the Gardens and around the lake.
This was weekend I went to Meadowlark to do “mini sessions”; the weather was gorgeous and I was so happy to capture beautiful, glowing fall colors! And I felt super lucky to have met some new wonderful families and to reconnect with past clients. The portraits below are of a family who I loved seeing again! Just a few short months ago I photographed this beautiful little girl (and her Mommy and Daddy) for her newborn pictures, and I was just so in awe to see how much she’s grown and what a happy sweet little girl she is. I love my job!
