Best Family Portraits 2018 | Charlottesville Family Photographers

This past year was a HUGE year for us, both professionally and personally! Not only did Aaron Watson Photography grow, but our family also grew as we welcomed our precious little boy into our lives! Since starting our family, it has given us a greater perspective, and reaffirmed the importance of family portraits as we watch so many milestones unfold before our eyes!

With that said, we thought we would celebrate a long overdue post of our favorite and best family portraits of the past year! 2018 really took us on new adventures, and we loved every minute of it. Of course, we had many sessions at some of our favorite places like Carter Mountain, Chiles Peach Orchard, and Raven’s Roost Overlook! The gorgeous Blue Ridge Mountains are always a favorite backdrop for our pictures, and a signature look for Charlottesville family portraits! We also love photographing on the UVA Lawn as well. UVA is the perfect setting not only for those who attended the University, but also for those who love great architecture, beautiful gardens in the spring or amazing fall foliage!

Not all of our sessions were in Charlottesville this year. We loved traveling for our family portraits in Charleston, South Carolina, Virginia Beach over the July 4th holiday, and also to Annapolis, Maryland for some super cute maternity and newborn portrait sessions! Destination family portrait sessions are so much fun, and we take it as a huge honor when we our asked by our families to travel so we can capture their precious memories!

From throwing fall leaves in the air, to frolicking through spring gardens, and to loving on those four-legged, furry family members, this past year truly gave us some of the best family portraits we’ve ever taken! We cannot wait to see where the next year takes us, as both photographers and a new family. And, we hope you can be a part of it, too! Contact us to schedule your family portrait session.
