Ballenger Farm Family Photo session. Hamilton, VA photographer. Bayliss Family.

One key factor to perfect family photographs is to find a location that speaks with the personalities of the family. And when it came time to photograph the Bayliss family this summer, I knew Ballenger Farm in Hamilton VA was the perfect spot. Why was this so perfect or them? Well, simply put the location is not only gorgeous but also filled with the most friendly farm animals. This family has a natural connection with farm animals and country settings, as you can see in the photos the interaction between them and the animals is incredible. It made my job so easy. I love the way the three of them interact, but then throw in a few chickens or Pumpkin the goat and it just becomes magic! I’m pretty confident that the Bayliss family had a ball at the farm. They almost had a new family member when pumpkin the goat tried to get in their car. lol!
