Blacksburg Spring Family Session

Spring is such a perfect time for family photos; the sunlight, the blooms, beautiful weather, everyone is comfortable and happy to be outside, and it’s not too hot - yet - at least here in Southwest Virginia!

I met this gorgeous family for their spring family portraits at the Hahn Gardens at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, Virginia. I love photographing here. The grounds are stunning with so many beautiful backdrops for amazing family photos!

I loved their outfits - especially mom’s beautiful spring dress. It really had great color, movement, and fit the scene seamlessly. Not to mention she was absolutely glowing in it! The family look was well coordinated, not too matchy-matchy, and felt authentic to their style and personality. 10/10!

The weather was perfect and the florals in the Hahn Gardens were so fragrant and pretty, everything finally in bloom after a long, cold winter. 

My biggest photographer tip for family photos: embrace the kiddos’ personalities and season of life you’re in - play, tickle, laugh, just have fun! This really makes for authentic, memorable photos.

Bonus tip: Make sure you’re getting updated family photos often! You’ll want to remember each phase :)
