Richmond Family Session Locations


I am so blessed to call Richmond, Virginia home. A beautiful city with a rich history, charming architecture, and plenty of outdoor spaces. Whether you're looking to capture a family moment or celebrate a special occasion, you won't run out of great photo spots in this city. Here are my top three recommendations for families looking for the perfect backdrop for their memories.



  1. The Canal Walk - This scenic stretch of the James River is a popular spot for both tourists and locals. With its stunning views, picturesque bridges, and colorful murals, the Canal Walk is a must-visit for families looking to capture the beauty of Richmond. With plenty of seating and green spaces along the way, it's a great place to relax, have a picnic, and take some candid photos.
  2. Rooftops - Richmond has no shortage of rooftop bars and restaurants with stunning views of the city skyline. From the sophisticated vibe of the Quirk Hotel's rooftop bar to the more laid-back atmosphere of the Roof at the Grand, there's something for every family. These spaces offer breathtaking views of the city, making them a great spot for family photos. I also have a few hidden rooftops, that provide perfect views with zero crowds.
  3. Maymont Park - This 100-acre park is a true gem in the heart of Richmond. With its picturesque gardens, historic mansion, nature center, and rolling hills, Maymont is a great place to capture the beauty of nature. Whether you're exploring the Japanese Garden, admiring the waterfall, or simply taking in the view from the mansion's porch, you'll find plenty of opportunities for family photos.


Richmond is a city full of wonderful places for family photos. Whether you prefer scenic walks along the river, rooftop views, or nature parks, you're sure to find a spot that speaks to you.
