As a Virginia Family Photographer, I know the its very difficult to “pose” children. Part of the reason I call myself a lifestyle photographer is because I strive to capture beautiful, authentic photos. The best way to achieve candid moments is putting kids into their element. Kids love to explore, so bringing them to an outdoor location (which is my favorite) allows kids to explore their surroundings and spend time with mom and dad. This allows the family to have quality time together, and I’m just there soaking it all in.

The Navab family choose to have their family session at Meadowlark Botanical Gardens, and I’m so happy they did because we had a blast exploring. Kimi is 9 months old in these photos, and she was so happy through out the session. By the end of the session Kimi and I were best friends!

I couldn’t have asked for a better day to photograph this lovely family and Meadowlark Botanical Gardens is definitely a location you must shoot at! One of my favorites!
