A Golden Hour Family Session at the Backyard Wildflower Patch | Chesapeake, Virginia Family Photographer

There are some families that leave an imprint on your heart—and this sweet one is definitely one of them. I’ve had the absolute honor of photographing this incredible crew over the years, and watching these beautiful young ladies grow has been nothing short of a privilege. As a family photographer based in the greater Hampton Roads area, these kinds of long-lasting relationships are why I do what I do.

When their amazing Mama reached out to book a summer family session at the Backyard Wildflower Patch in Chesapeake, Virginia, I was beyond excited. This location is a hidden gem—dreamy golden light, tall whimsical blooms, and a peaceful setting that’s perfect for capturing natural moments of connection and joy. Paired with this family’s impeccable styling, warm energy, and contagious laughter, we created pure magic.

Every detail fell into place:
✨ Coordinated outfits that complemented the wildflowers perfectly
✨ The golden glow of a summer sunset
✨ Sweet giggles and hugs that made my heart melt
✨ Sisterhood, silliness, and smiles for days

There’s just something so special about capturing families during the summer months in Virginia. The light is golden, the energy is lighthearted, and the memories created are ones you’ll cherish forever.

As a Chesapeake family photographer, it means the world to me when families return year after year. It’s more than just a photo session—it’s about building a legacy of love through timeless images. Thank you to this beautiful family for trusting me once again. Your session was truly one for the books!
