There’s something truly magical about fall at the West Virginia Botanical Garden in Cheat Lake, West Virginia. The warm golden light, colorful leaves, and peaceful trails make it one of my favorite spots for family sessions — and this beautiful fall mini-session was no exception!

The West Virginia Botanical Garden is such a stunning backdrop year-round, but there’s just something extra special about it in autumn. If you’ve been thinking about updating your family photos, fall at the garden is one of the best times to do it!
