Summer Family Portrait Session at Topsmead

A Family of Three in the Summer Landscape

This family’s summer 2024 session took place at Topsmead State Forest in Litchfield, Connecticut. We used the tree-lined paths, garden walls, and open meadow to create a varied gallery while keeping the family’s soft neutral wardrobe consistent.

The portraits include all three family members together, each parent with their baby, individual baby portraits, and photographs of the parents. That mix tells a fuller story of this stage in their family’s life.

Planning an Outdoor Family Session

Before your family portrait session, we discuss clothing, your preferred setting, and timing that considers both the light and your child’s routine. During the session, I guide you through a mix of posed portraits and relaxed interactions, allowing room for your child to settle and take breaks.

For more preparation ideas, read our family photo preparation guide. To discuss a location and current availability, get in touch to plan your session.

From the Summer Session to an Heirloom Album

We brought this family’s favorite portraits together in a custom heirloom album. The coordinated wardrobe and variety of settings helped the photographs work together across the pages. Explore their Topsmead gallery below.
