Our Favorite Locations For Family Portraits |Clarksburg, Family Photography

Jul 11

The majority of our family portrait sessions are photographed in a client’s favorite location.
For our families, engagements, or seniors, this can be from the elegant Glenview Mansion in Rockville to the more rustic barns of Gaithersburg Agricultural Farm and Black Hills Regional Park. Here we talk and share images from some of our favorite locations to shoot in Maryland.

Gaithersburg Agricultural Farm

The best way to show why we love the Gaithersburg Agricultural Farm is to just let the photos do the talking. If you like open fields, gorgeous gardens, and rustic hay-filled barns, this is the spot! The best part is that so far, I’ve never run into large groups there. We’ve shot family sessions and engagement sessions there and just had an amazing time. The end of the day when the sun is starting to get low is the best time to shoot here. As the sun goes through the trees the light is like magic!

Glenview Mansion

Glenview Mansion is another favorite of ours. We’re suckers for stones and archways. This spot has several smaller areas that are all a bit different. The front of the mansion, the stone walkway and grand staircase on the side, with a fountain, and the small wooded area at the rear of the property. There are plenty of small intimate nooks for couples and plenty of open space to shoot large families, especially with kids!

Black Hills Regional Park

Black Hills Regional Park is a great place for family portraits, engagement portraits and maternity. The park is huge and offers a variety of backdrops options from the lake to the woods and grassy fields. So if you’d like to have some variety in backgrounds, this is a great place to photograph your next family portraits.
