Family Pictures on the Front Porch in Woodbridge, VA

Family pictures on front porch in Woodbridge VA by Tamieka Smith a Northern Virginia Photographer

​I love taking family pictures, but it can be difficult to find the right place to take pictures; especially a location that avoids the fall rush and crowds. If you're looking for a great location that's both beautiful and easy to access, consider your home or your family's home front porch. This article highlights the Hamilton's family pictures photographed on their front porch in Woodbridge, Virginia.  Yes, you can use your home as the location for your next family picture.

​Family Picture Ideas

• Remember that family photos are a great way to capture family memories.
• You can take them in many different places, but there is nothing like taking them in the comfort of your own home.
• A location in your neighborhood

When you hire a professional photographer, like myself, I'll make sure everyone is included in the family picture and your portraits look amazing. Moms and Dads how many times have you taken a family picture and you’re not included?​

​I'll also make sure I capture each family member's personality and make the photo something you'll cherish for years to come. I can do this by taking advantage of a variety of lighting techniques, poses, expressions and more. These are all things that a professional photographer can help you with, so your family photos look amazing.  Due to this, the Hamilton’s decided to have their family pictures taken on a fall day on front porch of their home.  The leaves in Northern Virginia gave a colorful backdrop at their Woodbridge home.

The ease of home
Your home is a familiar place for everyone, so you can all relax and be yourselves. It's a great way to bring the family pet into your family pictures (and it'll get them on board with being in front of the camera). You can also use your home as a backdrop, which gives you more options when it comes to posing your family members.

You don't have to stick with one room of your house either; if there are different parts that you feel will work better for certain photos—like if you have an awesome deck or backyard—go ahead and move around after taking some portraits in each spot!

Pictures for family
Family pictures are a great way to capture lasting memories. Especially if you have younger children.  You can have them photographed with their favorite toy.  Can you imagine looking back at these pictures when they turn 18 or 21?  These pictures can be useful for many purposes, such as birth announcements, holiday cards, and family portraits to display in your home.
​

Fall family pictures
Fall is typically a great time for many families to have their portrait taken.  However, it can be an overwhelming time frame, because so many other families are seeking to have their family’s picture taken as well at the most popular locations in Woodbridge.  The weather is typically nice, and the fall colors are beautiful. Fall is a great time to get outside and enjoy the outdoors with your family.

The air is crisp and refreshing, and you can feel the change in seasons. Take a walk around your neighborhood or go to a local park. You might even want to take a drive through some of the beautiful countryside nearby.  Who know, you may find a wonderful location for your family’s pictures and avoid the crowds.
​

There are many places to take family pictures but taking them on the front porch may just be the perfect option.
When it comes to taking family pictures, there are many places to choose from, especially in the Northern Virginia area. The most popular locations in Woodbridge are usually parks or other outdoor locations in nearby Manassas or Fairfax. While there can be great options, the front porch may just be the perfect place for your family photos!
The front porch is a place of gathering and relaxation. It’s where families come together to enjoy each other’s company and make memories together. There are also plenty of reasons why you should consider having your next family portrait session on your front porch:

• People feel more comfortable when they’re at home
• You don't have to worry about windy weather ruining your hair (or worse yet, ruining your picture)
• You can relax and feel at ease knowing that no one else is around
