When it comes to iconic Washington, DC locations for family photos, the Supreme Court Gardens is one of my absolute favorites. Tucked beside the Supreme Court, this location offers a mix of stunning DC architecture and lush seasonal greenery, making it an incredible backdrop year-round.
What makes the Supreme Court Gardens so versatile is its variety. In spring, soft blooms and fresh greens frame your family beautifully. Summer and fall bring vibrant foliage, while winter highlights the stately marble columns and timeless architectural details. No matter the season, this location provides both classic city views and natural touches in one session.
I love photographing everything here—from quick mini and midi sessions to full family sessions. Whether you’re hoping for updated portraits, milestone photos, or an annual gallery wall refresh, the Supreme Court Gardens gives us the perfect mix of iconic DC style and warm, welcoming scenery.
