As family photographers with a portrait studio located near Vienna in Northern VA, we know how very much a family photo means to you! We thought you would enjoy a little info regarding what photographers consider the golden hour for photography.
You might have heard the term “golden hour” before in the photography world, but maybe not have totally understood it. The golden hour is the hour after sunrise, and hour before sunset every day. During both of these periods of time, the sun is in prime position for taking pictures. The light is lower and softer, which makes less harsh shadows on the subject, and more even lighting.
It is also a great time to use the light in other creative ways. One of which is backlighting; when the sun is behind the subject but the subject is still exposed well enough to see them. Another is silhouettes which is basically the same setup as backlighting, but the shot is underexposed so the subject is dark, creating an outline or “silhouette.” Even shooting your subject with the light hitting them on their face will be so much better during this time of day.
There are many other ways to shoot creatively in the golden hour light, and fully take advantage of the most beautiful lighting every day. Try it for yourself and watch how the “golden hour” makes the most of your images!

For family portraits in Dulles, Northern VA, just search for “professional photographers near me.” At Ever After, we specialize in family photography and capturing those special family bonds!
This wall collection of the Turner family is designed perfectly for the space in this room. The array of images are so vibrant against the white wall. The wall images surrounded by natural light streaming in from the windows and glass french doors bring the family portraits to life.
Wall Collections are different than a single large, framed image over the fireplace in one important way: They give 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 tries to draw connections between them, making the total greater than the sum of its parts.
Ever After Portraits is comprised of Mindy and Joriana Belcher, family photographers located in Northern Virginia. They specialize in candid, emotional and artistic images.
Family means everything and capturing those precious moments to preserve forever will mean family heirlooms for you to share for years to come.

As a family photographer in Northern Virginia near Oakton, we provide professional pictures of your family!
Community service is a wonderful way for your child to participate in helping others less fortunate. Understanding that life is about giving back, not just focusing on yourself teaches valuable skills and knowledge that can not be found in books. It promotes social relationships and opens the door to the real world and its hardships.
To learn how to motivate your child, read this blog,3 Tips for Inspiring Kids to Volunteer from the Points of Light that will give you some insight and ideas.
First, let your child take an active role. Find a problem in your community that you feel your child can have a connection with. Talk to your child about how he thinks this problem can be solved and develop a strategy so that you and your child can feel like you a part of it.
Second is to lead by example. Teaching your child about volunteering by being active in your community. If you child sees that this is part of your lifestyle then that will encourage him to follow in your path. Working together as a family in helping others promotes a closer bond between parent and child and a sense of pride and accomplishment.
This is to foster internal motivations. Finding a way to make your child want to be part of the community by giving their time and hard work is a way to develop them into human beings in this next generation with a social conscience.
