Old Town Alexandria is one of my favorite locations for family sessions year-round, but there’s something especially magical about it in the fall. With its historic brick streets, colorful row houses, and cozy seasonal ambiance, Old Town perfectly blends charm with a timeless Virginia feel!
Each block offers something a little different—tree-lined sidewalks, elegant stoops decorated with pumpkins and mums, storybook cobblestone alleys, and even a touch of waterfront light if you time it just right. Whether you’re hoping for a quick mini or midi session or a full family session with room to explore, there’s truly no bad corner in Old Town.
The best part? The variety. You can capture everything from relaxed lifestyle shots against soft brick textures to more polished family portraits framed by historic architecture. Every session here feels unique, and the results are always filled with warmth, connection, and that signature Northern Virginia fall charm.
