Family Portraits in Damascus, Virginia — A Session with the Rickard Family

Family Portraits in Damascus, Virginia — A Session with the Rickard Family

I had the pleasure of photographing Thomas and Sarah Rickard and their four children on a warm and humid summer day here in Damascus, Virginia. Even with the heat, the Rickard kids were awesome, and I had a genuinely fun time with their family. We spent the session creating images that captured their connection, laughter, and love for each other.

When I photograph families, whether they live near Damascus or are visiting from out of town, my approach is simple. I want everyone to feel relaxed and comfortable so we can create natural and meaningful portraits. I guide families with posing that fits who they are together and let the session flow in a way that feels fun. The goal is always to make it a positive experience and a memory in itself.

For families visiting Damascus or Abingdon on vacation, having everyone together is something special. This area offers a beautiful setting with scenic mountains, trails, and historic charm that make for stunning family portraits. Whether you are gathering for a weekend trip, a holiday, or a family reunion, this is the perfect time to capture your family in a way that will last for years to come.

Local families from Damascus, Abingdon, and the nearby mountain towns also have a unique opportunity to create heirloom portraits right here at home. The fall season is coming soon, and with it comes vibrant colors and the perfect backdrop for generational family portraits.
