Short Pump & Glen Allen Photographer

Short Pump and Glen Allen are about twenty minutes from my Richmond base, and I'm out here often: weddings at country clubs and Innsbrook, corporate events, and family sessions close to home.

No travel fee Short Pump is about 11 miles from my base at 900 N. Allen Ave in a straight line, inside my 50-mile no-fee radius.

Photographing Short Pump and Glen Allen

Suburban backdrops that don't look suburban

The West End gets written off as shopping centers and office parks, but it photographs better than people expect. Innsbrook has lakes and walking paths between the buildings, the clubs have long lawns and big trees, and the parks around Glen Allen have space you won't find downtown.

It's also where a lot of families live, which matters with small children: a session ten minutes from home, timed around a nap, usually beats a long drive to a famous spot.

Spots worth considering

Innsbrook Lakeside paths and open lawns between the office buildings, and quiet on weekends.

Short Pump Town Center Open-air walkways and storefronts for a city look without driving downtown. Best early on a weekend morning, before the crowds.

Meadow Farm Museum Fields, fences and farm buildings in Crump Park, for something rustic without leaving Glen Allen.
