Celebrating Generations with a Family Portrait in Waterford, Virginia

During a generational session, I take time to photograph the larger group portrait but also break it down into meaningful smaller groupings: grandparents with grandchildren, siblings together, or parents with their grown children. These combinations give families a variety of images to cherish and share.

Grandmother is the one whose love, wisdom, and strength have carried generations. During generational portrait sessions, I always like to get some single portraits of the matriarch.

It’s not every day that schedules align and everyone is in the same place. A professional session ensures that when it happens, it’s remembered.

Three generations of women come together for a family portrait. The vibrant colors bring joy to this family. Even the butterfly bush matches!
