Golden Hour Magic at Pump House Park with the Epps Family: Richmond, VA Fall Family Session
There’s something special about Virginia in the fall—the golden trees, the rustle of leaves, the way that light dances just right in the late afternoon. And when you pair all that beauty with a family as joyful and stylish as the Epps crew? Well, darlin’, you get photographic gold.
This session was one for the books—bursting with laughter, snuggles, and the perfect mix of cozy and color. Mama Manita showed up looking like a literal fall dream, twinning with her sweet girl in matching floral dresses. Rowshaun’s smile never faded—especially when his little man reached up and kissed his cheek without warning (I mean… come on). And those kiddos? Full of personality, giggles, and sass in the best way.
From snuggles on a leaf-covered blanket to running barefoot through the woods, these babies gave me everything I love most as a Richmond family photographer. The kind of moments that aren’t posed, just preserved—like the way their daughter leaned in, rested her head on Mama’s shoulder, and simply stayed there for a while. That’s the stuff. That’s the memory.
We wandered down to the rustic old Richmond Pump House and bridge, where the light turned syrupy and the love felt sacred. Every image from this gallery feels like a little piece of fall bottled up—warm, fleeting, and too good not to hang on your walls.
If you’re a sentimental mama who wants more than just a holiday card shot—if you want the belly laughs, the stolen kisses, and the unspoken “this is us” moments—I’d be honored to photograph your family next.
Let’s bottle up your chaos, beauty, and connection before the leaves fall, babe.

Fall sessions in Richmond and Midlothian go fast—especially when the light looks like this. If you’ve got matching dresses in mind or just want to finally get in the photo (yes, you too, mama), I’d love to make it happen.
