Masterpiece Framed Black & White Fine Art Portraits | Northern VA Family Photographer

Fine art photography weaves the fibers of your story together as art. It elevates the quality of photography from ordinary to extraordinary. Working with the Laino family at our indoor and outdoor studios In Northern VA, not far from Bluemont, VA, has given us the opportunity to create beautiful artwork for this lovely family of three. It has been our honor to capture their memories and to stop time through portraiture for them.

The first time she came to us, Michelle knew that with both daughters in high school, empty-nester days weren’t far away. So, she turned to our portrait studio to help her capture memories she knew she would treasure for a lifetime. We have done family, individual, and senior portraits for this wonderful family of women. We are delighted whenever we hear from Michelle to schedule a portrait session! Getting to know these lovely ladies has been a lot of fun.

When it came time to order portraits following one of their sessions, Michelle chose two of our finest-quality professional products.

Masterpiece Framed, Rembrandt Canvas Finish

For the individual portraits of her beloved girls, Michelle chose our highest-quality framing option: Masterpiece Framed with a painted Rembrandt finish. It is a stunning frame option for these beautiful portraits of her daughters!
 

 

Multi-Portrait Collection in Steel Finish

For the multi-portrait collection she selected, Michelle chose the Contemporary Frameless Steel Finish. The sleek, gray-metal finish is an elegant but understated look. It brings out the best in the black and white pictures.

To see more on that collection, follow this link:
Laino Family Wall Art Collection, Steel
 

 
Both finishes coordinated with the portraits and her home’s decor. Even more, the frames and portraits are guaranteed to last for many decades to come. Michelle, and later her daughters, will have these portraits to enjoy for a lifetime.

If you would like to capture memories through fine art photography, please contact our portrait studio. We have indoor and outdoor studios not far from Bluemont, VA in Northern VA, and we work with families throughout Northern Virginia.

Home for the Holidays Family Portrait Sessions | Northern VA Family Photographer

When was the last time your beloved entire family was together? It was probably for a holiday. A family gathering is a unique opportunity not just to create loving memories but to capture them! As a family photographer in Sterling, VA, in Northern Virginia, and as part of a beloved extended family, we urge you to take advantage of everyone gathered to have a multi-generational family portrait session! Or maybe your kids are home from college! How long has it been since you’ve had portraits with all of your children and yourself together?

November, Thanksgiving:

We value and love our families as much as you surely do. They are a part of our lives, our loves, and our spirit. We know the critical importance of recording all of that through fine art portraiture. Given that so many of our clients’ families travel to gather around their Thanksgiving table together, our photography studio offers portrait sessions the day after Thanksgiving. It is the perfect opportunity to take advantage of having your family in town by having professional portraits done.

December, Christmas:

For many people, the Christmas is the only time of the year that they truly get time off from work. Families can get together and celebrate the family’s loving bond. Family members travel hundreds or thousands of miles to be together, particularly if they weren’t together for Thanksgiving. Our portrait studio offers portrait sessions for the week of Christmas and the week following Christmas. Home for the holidays takes on a new meaning when you can document your family’s bonds as you gather together for professional family portraits you’ll treasure for many years. It is a small investment of time that reaps immeasurable benefits as your family scatters again to their homes away from each other.

Fine art photography captures our love, our bonds, our spirit and energy as family. It stops time through the power of its print imagery – a poignant and priceless item for anyone who’s loved someone.

Our appointments for these special winter season sessions are limited, so we encourage you to contact us as soon as possible to schedule your family’s portrait session. As a family photographer in Northern Virginia, in Sterling, VA, we look forward to working with you and your family during that beautiful time of year.

Create a Portrait Legacy of Parents and Grandparents | Northern VA Family Photographer

Create a Portrait Legacy of Parents and Grandparents | Northern VA Family Photographer

Create a Portrait Legacy of Parents and Grandparents | Northern VA Family Photographer

As family fine art photographers in the Northern Virginia area, it is not often that we are asked to do professional photography sessions for older individuals or couples. For whatever the reason, it seems that as people age, there are fewer professional family portraits of them to treasure when they are gone. We wonder if it’s that as a society, we somehow lose confidence in our aging selves? Or, is it that we get busier and don’t prioritize family fine art?

We often write about the importance of family and children’s professional photography. However, we haven’t written much about fine art portraits of our aging parents and grandparents, the older generation. We thought we would discuss the importance of doing fine portraits of the older generations in our families. After all, they are loved and valued as much as other generations.

With almost two decades as family fine art photographers, we have learned so much about life, family, and portrait photography. We have also learned much about the family dynamics of family life and how to portray them through our craft. We have learned much about what to treasure, and we have learned about what to let go of in life.

We are sure you would agree that those we love are what we cherish most and rightly so. Nothing else matters quite as much. Family fine art photography is a beautiful way to capture what we will one day lose.

The Greatest Generation in Family Fine Art Portraits

Think about the family pictures you have of your grandparents. If you have any at all, we bet you have far more professional portraits from them as younger adults than as older adults! Not many people have professional fine art portraits of their grandparents as older adults, even if it’s important to document the lives of those we love while we still have them with us. We say this not out of self-interest for our studio or to be morose in any way. We say this because we know it from experience. We’ve all lost loved ones, and often memories are all we have left of them.

We know how much our memories fade as times goes by – no matter how beloved someone is in our life. So, if there is one thing we’ve learned through our work, it’s to prioritize family fine art portraits. We’ve learned not to wait to do portraits of the Greatest Generation in our lives.

A Legacy of Love through Family Fine Art

When a client asks us for multi-generational portraits, we look forward to taking them. They are among the most poignant and bittersweet pictures we take of clients because they highlight the love from one generation to the next.

We know that most professional family fine art portraits of elderly parents or grandparents are not from their final years with our clients or us. Those sepia-toned or beautiful black and white photographs are often (and sadly) a legacy of their youth. Rare is the portrait we see of an elderly grandparent in their final decades.

This is why we often urge clients to new legacies – ones that represent a life well lived by their parent or grandparents. If you are thinking of doing a family fine art portrait, please consider including your parents or grandparents. In fact, you can even include other older relatives with whom you are close. We promise that you won’t regret including them in your portraits, and they will be happy to have been asked.

Family Fine Art Portraits Create a Legacy of Love for Future Generations

While the memories of our parents’ and grandparents’ lives exist within us, memories also reside in their portraits. Therein lies the value of family portrait photography. Each time in the days and years to come, when you see their portraits, you will remember them. Their images will trigger a memory long buried deep in your mind until you glanced at their portrait. Suddenly, you’ll remember something about them. And, you will be glad to have had that picture of them.

Indoor Studio

We have both an indoor studio and an outdoor portrait park. Both are perfect for multi-generational family fine art portrait sessions.

We will be happy to discuss your vision for your pictures as well as what might be most comfortable for the older generation in the portraits. We are glad to work around them and what best suits them. We will try and accommodate their needs as best as possible. What matters most is that we find a way to shoot your family fine art portraits so that you and your parents can treasure these portraits for the heirlooms they will be in your family!

Below are portraits from a family session in our indoor studio of grandparents and grandkids together!
 

 

Outdoor Portrait Park

The family below preferred a portrait session in our outdoor portrait park. For this family, we had grandparents, parents and granddaughters, three generations of this lovely family together! It was such a pleasure to do their portraits, and they truly enjoyed themselves.

Not only did the background of our Outdoor Portrait Park work out ideally for this family’s portraits, but the portrait session itself created more memories for this family. Years from now when those granddaughters look at these portraits, they will remember their loving grandparents as well as the session itself. The portraits will serve as a symbol of this family’s intergenerational bonds.

Kesha & Troy, Fun and Funny Engagement Session | Northern VA Family Photographer

Kesha & Troy, Fun and Funny Engagement Session | Northern VA Family Photographer

Kesha & Troy, Fun and Funny Engagement Session | Northern VA Family Photographer

As fine art photographers in the Aldie, VA area, we’re thrilled each time a personal friend turns to us for their portraits. We have been honored to do Kesha and Troy’s milestone portraits on more than one occasion – each as much fun as the previous!

When Kesha became engaged, she and her fiancé Troy turned to us for their portraits. “Troy and Kesha have been good friends of ours for quite some time. I feel like I practically ‘grew up’ with them! So when they became engaged, we jumped at the opportunity to photograph them,” recalls Joriana.

They asked us for a fun and funny wall collection from their engagement session, so we curated this gallery which is so telling of their wonderful personalities!

“Troy laughs all of the time; it’s just his nature. So, a series where he’s trying hard NOT to laugh and Kesha is laughing was just what they wanted!” said Joriana.

If you look at the center picture of Troy, you might notice his pursed lips as he tries so hard not to laugh while she bursts out laughing. It was a rather unusual role reversal for these two which captured their joy for life and love for one another! Being a skilled photographer, by the way, means being ready throughout a portrait session to capture special moments like this one! Kesha and Troy chose our Steel finish for this wall collection, a cool contemporary finish that suits them and their home well.
 

 
As a family photographer, a significant part of what we do is getting to know our clients. This is no big box photography studio where we rush folks in and out! Getting to know clients helps us recognize what to capture in their portraits. It’s all about reflecting them authentically. The key to excellent portraiture is authenticity. It’s why we take our time with clients during a session and why we talk to them before they even schedule their portrait sesssion.

As Aldie, VA fine art photographers, we enjoy working with all of our clients, building relationships with them, and reflecting who they are through our imagery. If you chose to work with our portrait photography studio, we look forward to working with you and getting to know you too!

Wall Art for Your Family  | Northern VA Family Photographer

Wall Art for Your Family | Northern VA Family Photographer

Wall Art for Your Family | Northern VA Family Photographer

Without words, each portrait we take tells someone’s story. Each one is a reflection of a life or lives. Remembering that as a family photographer is critical to creating authentic portrait art.

Wall Art

It’s always exciting for us to see which portraits clients fall in love with and what products they select. We enjoy knowing where they decide to display the wall art in their homes or offices! In Jessica and Rod’s case, they loved their portraits so much they ordered a wall collection in Ice for their home. They created a stunning portrait gallery of their beautiful family of three. Their portraits are like windows to their personalities – as if they were standing there smiling at us!

Rod, Jessica and Emma are a warm and loving family, and it was easy to capture that as an experienced family photographer. It’s that authenticity we seek in each picture. It’s important to us to produce portraits clients fall in love with the moment they see them.

Portrait Box

Jessica and Rod opted for the Contemporary Frameless Ice Finish for their portraits. It’s a modern style which coordinates well with most interior design styles. But, they didn’t stop there! They also chose a portrait box. The box allowed them to have more favorites portraits which they could safely store, while allowing them easy access for viewing.

If you would like to work with a family photographer in the Aldie, VA area, we’d love to hear from you. Authenticity is at the heart of all we do in our work. We think it’s evident in this family’s beautiful portraits!

Should I get my child a camera? Sure! | Northern VA Family Photographer

Should I get my child a camera? Sure! | Northern VA Family Photographer

Should I get my child a camera? Sure! | Northern VA Family Photographer

Many photographers found their passion for photography in childhood with their first camera. As a mother-daughter team in the Aldie, VA area, that was the case for us as well. If your child has shown any interest or aptitude for taking pictures, we encourage you to foster their curiosity. It could turn out to be their profession one day.

Cameras make great gifts for kids!
As a family photographer familiar with children, we are not suggesting you purchase a $2,000 Nikon for a ten-year old! The market is full of inexpensive, good quality cameras well-suited for children. If your child is a teen, then you can probably spend a bit more if you feel they are responsible. While we don’t endorse specific products, we did some research and here are a few kid-friendly cameras:

* VTech Kidizoom Duo (ages three to nine years): Most parents will recognize the electronic toymaker’s name. Like most of their products, this camera for kids won’t disappoint a little one or their parents. There’s 256MB of built-in memory, but there’s a built-in microSD card rear with 1 to 32GB capacity. This camera even shuts itself off to preserve the battery if your little one forgets to turn it off.

* Polaroid’s PIC-300 offers instant satisfaction for those impatient little ones anxious to see their masterpieces. Polaroid won’t disappoint, but each instant film pack allows for just 10 pictures of 3.4” x 2.10”. There are four settings simplifying life for the amateur-miniature photographer.

* For the selfie-obsessed younger generation, VTech once again steps up with an attractive option: Kidizoom Selfie Cam! It’s for agest six and over, and has a .3 megapixel at 640 x 480 resolution camera. That’s not digital high end by any means, but perfect for the elementary school-aged child. Better yet, though, is that it can shoot up to five minutes for video with 128MB internal memory or on a microSD card. Needless to say, it brings its own selfie camera stick!

* For the teen in your life, Sony’s DSCW800/B 20.1-megapixel digital camera is one of Amazon’s best selling in its category. This one is a fully-stocked point-and-shoot with plenty of features to keep the teen amateur photographer intrigued. It will capture 720p of video and a fun panorama mode.

Hopefully, these ideas will get your little one started!

If you are interested in have family portrait session with professional family photographers in the Aldie, VA area, please give us a call to schedule a portrait session. We would love to hear from you!

Can photography boost your child’s self confidence? Yes! | Northern VA Family Photographer

Can photography boost your child’s self confidence? Yes! | Northern VA Family Photographer

Can photography boost your child’s self confidence? Yes! | Northern VA Family Photographer

Children are fascinated by photography! As an Aldie, VA & Arcola, VA photographer, we see it time and again. Children love to see themselves in pictures! You can use that interest as a parent to help boost your child’s self-confidence.

Self-Portraits:

Selfies are popular because to some degree everyone enjoys seeing themselves. Children are no different. If you have ever taken a picture of a small child, then you’ll likely understand what we mean. The moment you snap their picture, these tech-savvy little people can’t wait to see themselves on your cellphone’s screen.

It frequently happens in our portrait photography studio, too. The joy a child feels at seeing themselves is evident in their giant happy grins. (By the way, we love seeing their joy!) They’re thrilled you have taken their picture, and they feel great about themselves! It’s a small gesture with profound impact on a child’s self-esteem.

Affirmation:

Portraits demonstrate how much you love and value your children. At some level, they understand that you have invested in portraits of them. And when you display those pictures in your family home, the effect is all the more powerful.

Children are happy and proud to see their portraits displayed proudly and with love on a wall or framed on a tabletop in their home. They feel confident that they are part of something bigger than themselves – a family! They feel empowered. They know their parents are proud of them and want the visitors to see their beautiful children’s portraits. Yes, they are loved, and they feel good about themselves!

Once again, photography has played a part in boosting your child’s self-confidence, in empowering them, in showing them they are part of a loving family.

If you live near Aldie, VA & Arcola, VA and would like to work with a leading family photographer in Northern Virginia, contact us to schedule your portrait session. It would be our honor to witness your child’s joy at seeing their picture on the screen of our camera and then later displayed in your home!

Family Fun at 6 Fall Festivals in Virginia | Northern VA Family Photographer

Family Fun at 6 Fall Festivals in Virginia | Northern VA Family Photographer

Family Fun at 6 Fall Festivals in Virginia | Northern VA Family Photographer

As a photographer near Aldie, VA, we love fall for its richness of colors and diverse landscape. Cooler days bring a certain nostalgia each year as another year draws to an end. However, fall also brings a different kind of fun.

Here in Virginia, there’s an abundance of fun and family-oriented Fall Festivals. As a longstanding Northern Virginia portrait photography studio, we love taking things outdoors come fall – both professionally and personally. Maybe we’ll see you around at a local festival! We’ve put together a list of six Virginia fall festivals for you!

Six Virginia Fall Festivals

1. Graves’ Mountain Apple Harvest Festival, Syria, VA.
First three weekends of October 2017.

Less than two hours away, you’ll enjoy this traditional apple harvest festival with food, live Bluegrass music, and cloggers, arts and crafts, a hay maze and hayrides, as well as horseback rides. This annual tradition takes place at Graves Mountain Lodge. You can pick apples and visit the animals.

2. Cox Farms Fall Festival, Centreville, VA
Sept. 16-17; Sept. 22-Oct. 31; Nov. 3-Nov. 7 2017
Tickets required!

One of the largest, if not the largest, fall festival a stone’s throw from D.C. It’s more like a state fair given how large it is but with the feel of a traditional harvest festival. There are rides, food booths, and animals. It is a ticketed event with prices ranging from $6 to $20 depending on date and time you visit. This year they will debut “Foamhenge,” a full-size replica of Stonehenge made entirely of styrofoam.

3. Blue Ridge Folklife Festival, Ferrum, VA, Ferrum College campus
Oct. 28, 2017

A little further afield from Northern Virginia, families can enjoy an old-fashioned festival including Coon Dog Contest, horse pulls, mule jumping contests, Blue Ridge Roots music, Moonshiner Still and Storytelling, vintage cars, and kid’s folk games. Activities run throughout the day. Check website for more details.

4. Pumpkin Village Fall Fest, Leesburg Animal Park
Daily from Sept. 16 – Nov. 7, 2017, Tickets required

This smaller event is more about pumpkins, hayrides, and fun rides than a traditional harvest festival. Bring the kids out for this local event!

5. 35th Annual Fall Jubilee, Manassas, VA, Old Town
Oct. 07, 2017 10:00 AM-5:00 PM

This free event is open to the public in Old Town Manassas. There are more than 100 crafters and vendors! There are games and a Pumpkin Pie Eating Contest.

6. 41st Annual Fairfax Fall Festival, Fairfax, VA
Oct. 14, 2017, 10 a.m. – 8:30 p.m.

More than 400 arts, crafts, children’s activities, food & gourmet vendors, and multiple music stages promise something for everyone in historic downtown Fairfax.

As a family photographer near Aldie, VA, we hope to see you for your family portraits this fall. You’ll be able to take advantage of cooler days and beautiful fall foliage!

What an Amazing Family!  Stumvoll Family Portrait Session  | Northern VA Family Photographer

What an Amazing Family! Stumvoll Family Portrait Session | Northern VA Family Photographer

What an Amazing Family! Stumvoll Family Portrait Session | Northern VA Family Photographer

Many of our clients are drawn to our charming wooden bridge and pier in our outdoor portrait park near Oakton, VA! As you can see, the Stumvolls were no different. As a family photographer, we were happy to make use of this idyllic spot for this wonderfully photogenic family.

Outdoor Family Portrait Session

When Sally reached out to us, her son Ryan was already out of college, two of her daughters (Ashley and Brittany) were getting ready to graduate college, and another daughter (Haley) was heading off to college! Like so many parents with kids this age, Sally knew it was an opportune time to contact a portrait photography studio before the four children began scattering to pursue their own lives. It meant so much to her to have a family portrait, a portrait where the whole family was together.

We’re so happy that Sally chose us as her family photographer. We loved getting to know this amazing family!

Sally and Dean are a lovely couple. Dean is more on the reserved side, but with help from the kids, he managed to have fun and give us some beautiful smiles. Sally is just so sweet and has such natural beauty. Laughter and kindness are such a part of her nature, that it shines through in everything she says. This couple truly loves their four kids and have worked hard to provide them all with a wonderful start into adult life.

When this lovely family came to us, big brother Ryan had recently graduated from Georgia Tech. Although the girls outnumber him, he managed to keep his sense of humor. Oh, and the “protective big brother” vibe is strong with this one!

Twins Ashley and Brittany, along with Haley, the youngest, were such a beautiful trio of ladies. These three are sisters in the truest fashion; they finished each other sentences and supported each other in the “Mom wants us to have portraits?!” experience with true humor. Enjoying teasing their older brother seemed to also be something they had in common! And Ryan bore it with a smile and a laugh.

This family is amazing, and seeing the family closeness they share was a privilege for us.

Choosing a Family Photographer? Experience Matters!

In family photography, experience matters. It matters technically, but it also matters because you should be comfortable with your family photographer. Also coordinating family sessions and group shots can be complicated. However, as an experienced family photographer, we know how to:
* advise the clients on coordinated outfits for a cohesive and complementary look
* how to make the most of the striking landscape as a backdrop
* how to relax a group so that they look natural and relaxed in their portraits
* and, how to watch for those candid moments so we could capture them

Portrait Style

Before we schedule an appointment, we take the time to speak to a client about their family, their lifestyle, and their ideas for a portrait. For example, in our consult with Sally, she told us that she wanted a candid-style look and she wanted portraits taken outside. She wanted to display these portraits in her home, too. We kept all this in mind when styling her family’s portrait session.

Additionally, we use proprietary design software to show clients how a portrait will look on any wall in their home. It’s simple: a client sends us an iPhone snapshot of the wall where they intend to hang the portrait. We can then show them a mockup of how a portrait collection will look on that wall. Once their portrait session is complete, we use the software to show them exactly how their very own portrait collection will look on that wall! This process helps clients select the perfect portraits in the correct size for their wall.

As a family photographer near Oakton, VA, we want to make the professional portrait experience as smooth as possible for our clients. Our reputation depends not just on our skill as a photographer, but on an excellent customer experience. We believe in building lifelong relationships with our clients.

If you have any questions, please feel free to call our studio. We would be happy to speak with you.

Wall Portrait Choices, What should I choose?! | Northern VA Family Photographer

Wall Portrait Choices, What should I choose?! | Northern VA Family Photographer

Wall Portrait Choices, What should I choose?! | Northern VA Family Photographer

As part of our personalized service to our clients, we assist them in choosing how to display the portrait artwork for their homes. Would a contemporary Steel finish be best? Or perhaps a very modern glossy Ice finish would be perfect? Is a Framed collection right for this family? If you’ve ever wondered about that, here’s a chance to see what other families have chosen for their homes! Jenn and Chad’s family photography session was held at our studio in Northern Virginia, near Arcola, VA. We took advantage of nature’s bounty for this lovely family. Our outdoor private portrait park provided a stunning backdrop for their family portraits.

This beautiful family was as delightful and loving as their portraits depict. Their joy as a family was easy to capture in portraiture. The final results speak for themselves, and they were thrilled with their portraits!

Wall Art

Jenn and Chad chose a collection of wall portraits in our Contemporary Frameless Ice Finish. The Ice Finish is stunning for fine art portraiture. This finish perfectly reproduces the sharpness and depth captured through our photography. It also perfectly reflects nature’s rich colors. It’s a timeless but contemporary finish ideally suited for many interior designs. (We also offer other finishes to match any home’s interior design and client preferences whether contemporary or more traditional.)
 

 

Legacy Album

In addition, one of our archival-quality Legacy albums was filled with more favorite portraits chosen by Jenn and Chad. When you love so many of the portraits, an album is a terrific way to supplement your wall selections!
 

 
“We are beyond excited and happy to have these family photos hanging on our wall,” Jenn told us later. “Amazing! I never get tired of looking at these pictures and looking through our album!”

Jenn tells us that for their next portrait session they hope to do a multi-generational session, and we look forward to working with them again!

If you would like to have portraits of your family created and are near the Arcola, VA area or other Northern Virginia town, please contact our photography studio. We would be happy to work with you and your family in our indoor or outdoor studio or at a location of your choice.
