These family portraits at Constitution Gardens felt like the perfect start to summer. We met in the early evening and the sun filtered perfectly through the willow tree. You can’t find many willows in DC so this makes the Constitution Gardens a favorite spot for family photos. The gardens are located near the Washington Monument and next to Constitution Avenue making it easy to access in the city.

This location offers quiet water, a dreamy willow tree and an open lawn area. It’s beautiful in the morning and evening making family portraits at Constitution Gardens a perfect location in DC for photos. This family chose colorful and bright outfits to embrace the summer season. I loved the matching mother and daughter dressed from Lilly.
