Fall Sessions
Crisp air, golden leaves, cozy sweaters, and your favorite people.
Fall in the Blue Ridge is honestly unreal! The mountains light up in gold and red, the air is crisp but cozy, and it’s the perfect backdrop for family snuggles, kiddo giggles, and sweet in-between moments.
I'm Dominique...
I’ve been photographing families for 17 years (wild, right?), and if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that the best photos happen when you feel totally comfortable just being yourselves. That’s my job, to make you feel at ease, keep things fun, and capture your people exactly as they are.
Why Families Love My Sessions
Here’s the thing...
- I know kids. I know that sometimes they’re shy, sometimes they’re silly, and sometimes they just don’t want to smile on command. And that’s okay!
- I connect with them quickly and make sure they feel comfortable, so you don’t have to stress.
- My sessions are a mix of real life candids and a little gentle posing so you get those classic smiling-at-the-camera shots and the natural, in-the-moment ones that really tell your story.
- I’ll even send you a full style guide so you know exactly what to wear to make those autumn colors pop.
- Think of your session as less of a photoshoot and more of a fun fall outing where I just happen to be there documenting the magic.

"Dom is not only phenomenally skilled at her craft but is so personable, warm, and friendly. As someone not always comfortable in front of the camera, she makes me feel confident and helps my boys feel the same. She has captured my family’s photos for years and always captures the precious, beautiful moments of each season we are in. Wouldn’t go to anyone else!"

THE WATSON FAM
"Our family had done 2 or 3 family photoshoots with other photographers in the past 10 years but always felt pretty uncomfortable. Not with Dominique! She made us feel so relaxed, it's the first time I've ordered prints to hang in the house! So grateful. Such a lovely style and the kids loved her."
CLIENT LOVE
THE DELERME FAM
"Dominique is fantastic and such a joy to work with! She is equally personable and professional. We had family portraits taken with our two little ones and she made the experience so much fun! We are absolutely in love with all of our photos. You can tell looking at her work that she pays attention to each detail and is truly passionate. We couldn’t imagine picking a different photographer, she is amazing!"
A Little Behind-the-Scenes Glimpse...
Here’s how it all goes down when you book a fall session with me:
Step 1: Inquire + Book
Pop your info into the form, and I’ll be in your inbox with all the details + available dates before you can say “pumpkin spice latte.” Easy, stress-free, and no endless back-and-forth.
Step 2: Style Made Simple
Cue my style guide — your new best friend when you’re staring at the closet thinking “But what goes with burnt orange leaves??” I’ll help you coordinate looks that feel like you and make those autumn colors pop. Bonus: no Pinterest rabbit holes required.
Step 3: Session Day
We’ll meet at one of my favorite Blue Ridge spots, and here’s the thing ...you don’t have to “know what to do.”
I’ll guide you through just enough posing so you feel comfortable, but mostly I’ll be encouraging snuggles, tickle fights, and leaf-tossing. Got wild toddlers?
I’ll wrangle right along with you. Awkward in front of the camera? You’ll forget it’s even there.
Step 4: Relive the Magic
A few weeks later, your full gallery will hit your inbox, and you’ll get to see all those cozy, joy-filled, “that’s so us” moments. The ones you’ll want to frame, share, and scroll through every fall.
Ready to do this?
If your heart’s already picturing cozy sweaters, little hands clutching autumn leaves, and the Blue Ridge glowing behind you, let’s make it happen!
These moments only last for a season, but the photos we create together will take you right back every single year. I’d be so honored to tell your family’s story.
