A family session at the Bishop’s Garden is like stepping into a storybook. Nestled within the National Cathedral grounds in Washington, D.C., this hidden gem is full of charming stone pathways, blooming florals, and a serene setting. It’s the perfect setting for families who want a mix of playful, candid moments and timeless portraits.

For this sweet family, we let the garden set the scene while the little ones explored, snuggled in with their parents, and shared plenty of giggles. There’s something special about photographing a family in a space that feels both peaceful and full of life—just like childhood itself.

A Dreamy Spot for Family Photos

The Bishop’s Garden at the National Cathedral is a dream location for families who want photos that feel classic but never stiff. It’s full of secret nooks, ivy-covered archways, and cozy stone benches—perfect for quiet cuddles or a game of peek-a-boo with little ones. The mix of textures and colors makes every image feel rich and warm, no matter the season, but especially in the spring.

During this session, we embraced the beauty of the space, capturing laughter under the trees, hand-holding walks along grassy field, and those in-between moments that tell the sweetest family stories. The result? A gallery filled with joy, connection, and a little bit of everyday magic.

Planning Your Own Family Session at the Bishop’s Garden

Thinking about booking a family session at the Bishop’s Garden? This spot is especially stunning in spring, when the flowers are in full bloom, and in fall, when the leaves turn warm and golden. Sessions here feel relaxed and natural, letting little ones take the lead while we create beautiful, meaningful images together.

If this sounds like your kind of session, let’s start planning! I’d love to document your family’s love and laughter in this beautiful space.
