Tulips and Sunset Rays | Landry Family Spring Photo Session

Some places seem made for memory-making and Colonial Williamsburg is definitely one of them.

This session with the Landry family, back for their second round of family portraits, took place right in the heart of the historic gardens, and it felt like stepping into a painting. The late afternoon sun stretched long shadows across the crushed-shell paths, and the breeze carried the scent of blooming tulips—hundreds of them, in every shade from buttery yellow to deep violet. The gardens were alive with color, framed by weathered brick walls, white picket fences, and the gentle hum of history all around.

Colonial Williamsburg isn’t just a backdrop—it feels like part of the story. There’s a quiet charm to it: 18th-century houses with ivy climbing up their sides, winding garden paths that invite wandering, and little pockets of calm that are perfect for stealing a sweet family moment. It’s a place where history feels beautifully present, but never staged.

And into all this stepped the Landry family, full of life and laughter. There was a rhythm to their connection, the kind that doesn’t need posing or prompting—just space to be together.

Thank you, Landrys, for trusting me again to capture your family's story. Your energy, your love, your joy—it’s what every sunset session dreams of being.
