The Nostalgia and Beauty of a Barn and Log Fence in Portraits | Northern VA Family Photographer
What is it about old-fashioned barnwood and a log fence that we find so charming? Something about the nostalgia they evoke draws us to these iconic features – no matter where you’re from or where you were born. Any family photographer in the picturesque Great Falls, VA, and Northern Virginia area can tell you that clients frequently request these types of features or structures in their portraits.
Family Portrait Session
Unlike other photography studios in the area, we don’t have to search for these features; we own them in our private 2.5-acre Outdoor Portrait Park! We, too, are drawn, not just to nature’s beauty, but to these symbols of the countryside. As props in a family or child’s portrait, it doesn’t get much better than these. (We also have a lovely wooden bridge, pier, two ponds, and lots of trees.)
Outdoor Portrait Park
While authentic barnwood and a log fence lend themselves toward the rustic, believe it or not, you also can compose an elegant portrait with either of these in the background. We often use our antique couches placed smack in the middle of the woods or in front of the barn or fence for a dramatic and intriguing composition.
The contrast is striking. The portrait is beautiful. The possibilities are endless.
