As a professional photographer located near Lansdowne, VA in Northern VA, we specialize in family fine art photography and creating beautiful portraits which you’ll treasure for years to come. Many families are turning to fine art photography for their family portraits. A professional photographer will also assist you in your clothing choices for your portrait.
How important is your choice of clothing to your family portrait?
A memorable and timeless family portrait is achieved through planning and attention to detail. The care and attention to color, coordination of clothing, setting of the family portrait, all the way through to the correct framing of the image you choose to display, is part of the customized service we, as family photographers in Northern Virginia, provide to our clients.
But how important, really, is clothing to your family portrait?
The goal of any fine family portrait is to direct attention to where it belongs, your family’s faces. The proper choice of clothing allows the face to be the focus of the portrait, not the clothing. Poorly selected clothing can detract from an otherwise wonderful family portrait. Because of this, what you wear for your portrait is just as important as all of the other details, such as lighting and location.
In general, clothing should be (more…)
As a professional family photographer located near Lansdowne, VA in Northern VA, we specialize in family photography and creating beautiful portraits which you’ll treasure for years to come. As we have both a 2.5-acre outdoor portrait park and a fully-equipped indoor studio, we provide both indoor and outdoor studio photography. Because we believe that photography websites should also be informative, we want to share with you a question we often hear from our clients.
Should I choose a single wall art portrait or a collection of wall art portraits?
You’ve had your family portrait session with a professional family photographer. You had a wonderful time, and you know you’ll have beautiful portraits of your family to choose from. Now the hard part begins. Should you choose one large single wall art portrait, or should you choose a collection of images for a wall art grouping?
Wall Art Portrait Collections, or Groupings
As family photographers in Northern Virginia, we normally recommend wall art collections of multiple images for this reason: Your family’s story can be told much better through several images, than in one. During your portrait session, we strive to capture the genuine love and affection family members have for each other, the unique expression on your little girl’s face, the one that makes you say, “That’s her!”, and the little mischievous grin your little boy sports when he thinks he just got away with being cheeky, and that special smile your husband has just for you. Several of those little moments collected together tell a far greater story about your family than one single moment will.
Wall art collections, or groupings, provide the opportunity to tell a story, create a narrative, and reach beyond a single image. When any set of images are displayed together, the viewer immediately draws connections between them, making the total greater than the sum of its parts.
A family wall art collection is perfect for a wall in the room where your family typically gathers. For some families, that’s the family room. For others, it’s the dining room. Wherever your family spends the most enjoyable time together, that’s the room which should have a wall art collection of gorgeous family portraits, portraits which you’ll see everyday and which will make you smile.
Some families prefer to have a collection up the main stairway wall or in the entryway of their home. They want to see lovely portraits of their family as soon as they walk in the door to their home, and they want to immediately share them with (more…)

Deveney and Christian came to Ever After Portraits because it had been several years (nearly four) since they had had a family portrait together, and Christian had grown so much in those years.
Outdoor Portrait Session/Mother & Son
Having an appreciation for photography, Deveney wanted a family photographer who could give her outdoor portraits, with the bold and beautiful fall colors as a backdrop, and she really wanted something special with her son, portraits she could display on the walls of her home.
Outdoor Park Studio In Autumn

Do you feel that hiring a professional family photographer is just too expensive?
Well, have you considered what you’re getting when you hire a family photographer?
You think you’re hiring someone who takes photos, right? You are, but that’s not all! There is much, much more than that.
When you hire Ever After Portraits as your professional family photographer, what you’re actually paying for is:

Someone who will provide clothing suggestions, so your precious family portraits will be (more…)

With the ready availability of cameras today, on our phones and other devices, people are constantly taking snapshots. Our faces are all over social media, sometimes even if we don’t want them to be. It seems like everyone with a camera suddenly thinks they are a photographer. After all, it’s so easy to snap a photo; everyone does it all of the time!
Does this easy access to cameras mean that there is no need for professional family photographers? Does it mean that, with the availability of digital media, there is no need for large wall portraits of your family to display on your walls?
Investing in portrait wall art
Is investing in quality wall art portraits of your family worth the cost?
Digital media lives and dies on your hard drive. Consider how often media storage methods change: 8”, 5.25”, 3” floppies; ZIP drives; CDs; DVDs; Blu-ray; USB, and on and on. What will be next? Once the method changes, it’s next to impossible to recover anything from the previous storage method. Would you be able to look at photos on a floppy disk right now? But at the time, it was considered the “latest technology.”
There is, however, lasting value in investing in portrait wall art. At Ever After, our goal as family portrait photographers, is to create beautiful wall art of your family, something worthy of being displayed on your walls, wall art that will decorate your home with the ones you love. We create heirloom pieces that you can pass down to the generations after you, to your children, and your children’s children.
With wall art, you will enjoy portraits of the ones you cherish every day. We want you to have the enjoyment of coming home every day, after a long day’s work, sitting down, perhaps on your couch, looking up and seeing portraits of the ones you love, laughing, snuggling, cuddling and enjoying the closeness you share as a family. You’ll be able to say “That is what’s truly important!”
