Spring Family Portraits at Cross Creek Nursery in Midlothian, Virginia
There’s a special kind of light in summer — soft, golden, and full of warmth — and this family brought just as much glow to their session as the sun did. Capturing them in the middle of nature, surrounded by tall trees and sun-drenched paths, was the perfect way to preserve this chapter of their story.
Everyone looked absolutely radiant in cool blues and crisp whites, a timeless and refreshing color palette that fit the season beautifully. Their outfits felt effortless and elegant, and the way they naturally connected with one another made my job easy. There’s something really beautiful about a family that’s not just posing for the camera but being with each other — sharing laughs, hugs, and quiet in-between moments.
What I loved most about this summer session was how relaxed it felt. The setting, the golden light, the gentle breeze — it all came together to create a peaceful atmosphere where their personalities could shine through. From big sister’s confident smile to little brother’s quiet charm, each moment felt authentic and full of heart.
Summer is such a vibrant time to document your family. The days are longer, the energy is light, and there’s an ease that naturally settles in when you're surrounded by sunshine. Whether you're updating your family portraits or simply want to capture the fleeting beauty of this season, I’d love to help you preserve it.
