Ford's Colony in Williamsburg is the perfect spot for a summer vacation or a family get-together, and the DiSantis family used the beautiful setting as an excuse to spend the week of Memorial Day with their most loved ones. Their fun group of 8 included little Olivia, the toddler they all love to dote on, and the newest addition of Sophia. They wanted pictures to capture the candid memories of the time they had together, and Freedom Park next to the Williamsburg Botanical Gardens was the perfect setting for their session.

My favorite part of family portraits is taking each couple aside to spend a few moments together, without kids or grandkids, to remember the love they have that started it all. As I photographed Mom and Dad I asked them about their marriage - they have been married for over 35 years! The legacy they are leaving in the children who love them dearly is so evident, but it is so clear that even after so many years together they are deeply in love.

With golden morning light, lots of laughter, and a beautiful location, the DiSantis family are leaving with memories and photographs that they will cherish forever....
