Chesterfield County Photographer
South of the James, Chesterfield has some of the area's best outdoor space: Pocahontas State Park, the Swift Creek Reservoir at Brandermill, and parks along the river. I photograph weddings, families and portraits across the county.
No travel fee All of Chesterfield County, from Midlothian to Chester and Moseley, sits inside my 50-mile no-fee radius of 900 N. Allen Ave.
Water, woods and a lot of room
Chesterfield sessions tend to lean natural. Pocahontas State Park, the largest in Virginia, has forest trails and lakes, and I've photographed a wedding there. Brandermill's reservoir sits behind The Boathouse at Sunday Park, a venue I know well enough to have written a full photographer's guide to it.
Around Chester and Moseley, newer neighborhoods and quiet parks make easy spots for family and senior sessions, with none of the downtown parking hunt.
Pocahontas State Park Forest trails and lakes about twenty miles south of downtown. Check the park's parking fee and event rules early if it's for a wedding.

Planning a session in Chesterfield
Is there a travel fee for Chesterfield?
No. All of Chesterfield County, from Midlothian to Chester and Moseley, sits inside my 50-mile no-fee radius of 900 N. Allen Ave.
Can we take wedding photos at Pocahontas State Park?
Yes. I photographed Payton and Jaylen's wedding there. State parks charge for parking and larger gatherings may need a reservation, so check with the park office early. I'm happy to help plan the portrait stops.
Do you photograph families in Chester and Moseley?
Yes: at home, in your neighborhood or at a park nearby. A spot close to home is often the easiest way to keep a session relaxed with young kids.
