Golden Hour Family Maternity Session at McCrillis Gardens

McCrillis Gardens, the hidden gem of Montgomery County, Maryland, and the charming baby sister to Brookside Gardens! Nestled away in a tranquil setting, this garden is one of Maryland’s best-kept secrets (in my opinion, lol!).

McCrillis Gardens is a picturesque oasis, featuring two lovely gazebos, winding paths adorned with flowers and trees, and an adorable house that makes you feel like you’ve stepped into a fairy tale. It’s hard to believe such a serene place exists in Maryland!

Creating Timeless Memories at McCrillis Gardens

Recently, I had the pleasure of photographing a beautiful family at McCrillis Gardens. The mother, who was expecting, wanted to capture the joy of their growing family. Referred to me by a previous client, we quickly connected, and I knew this session would be extraordinary.

A Golden Hour to Remember: The family wanted to announce their new addition during the magical golden hour. This time of day casts a warm, golden glow that makes every photo enchanting in McCrillis Gardens. What made the session even more special was that McCrillis Gardens was their wedding venue a few years ago! I didn’t even know that so when mom mentioned it to me on our call and how excited she was go back there for her family maternity session, I knew it was a match made in heaven!

Capturing Pure Joy: Their eldest daughter was an absolute delight, introducing me to her puppy and sharing stories of their adventures. Capturing moments of her playing with her puppy was a highlight, reflecting the pure joy and love within their family.

Mom received her gallery within two weeks of the session and was overjoyed, sharing the beautiful images with family and friends.
