Top 3 Locations for Fall Richmond Family Photos

October 22, 2025

Are you preparing for your fall family photos, but you can’t find a location that’s the perfect fit? There’s no shortage of photo-worthy locations in Richmond, Virginia, which can make choosing a location even more challenging. Here are my top three photography session locations for your fall Richmond family photos.

Maymont Park

Tried and true, Maymont Park is beautiful year-round. Fall is the perfect season for Richmond family photos at Maymont due to the park being open during the ideal time for that warm, glowy light. The abundance of grassy areas with magnolia trees and the classic architecture also makes it a stunning location for families wanting more variety in their backdrops.

Forest Hill Park

Offering a gorgeous setting for fall family photos, Forest Hill Park can be a wonderful choice for those families who want something that feels more private than Maymont Park. Forest Hill Park offers a historic stone house and large field that looks stunning alongside the fall leaves.

Agecroft Hall and Gardens

For families who want something that feels even more secluded, Agecroft Hall and Gardens is a picturesque and timeless option. The English architecture complements the fall season, and the golden hour glow this time of year is absolutely perfect.

These are just a few of my favorite locations for fall Richmond family photos, and there are so many more that offer beautiful backdrops. When I work with families, I offer guidance on choosing the best location for their session based on their vision and how they plan to use their images, as well as how to choose outfits that complement their location.

Still having a hard time deciding on that perfect location? I know the feeling, and I’d love to help lift that off of your shoulders. Feel free to contact me today to start planning your session.
