Van Fleet Gardens, Summer Family Photos- Somerville, NJ

This family chose a sunny August day to capture some final moments together before their son embarks on his new journey to college. The session took place at Somerville’s Van Fleet Gardens, a location close to their hearts, as they’ve spent many years living in Somerville and have strong ties to the community. With their son having graduated from high school recently, they felt that their home town was the perfect backdrop for their family photos, marking the transition to an exciting new chapter in their lives.

As parents, they couldn’t be more proud of their son’s accomplishments and his next big leap into college life. At the same time, they know they will deeply miss seeing him everyday. It’s a bittersweet moment, filled with excitement for the future but also a sense of nostalgia for the time they’ve spent together as a close-knit family. These photos reflect that beautiful mix of emotions—the joy, pride, and love they feel as they prepare to send him off.

With the serene setting of Van Fleet Gardens nearby, the park offered a peaceful and scenic spot to keep this special moment in time. This session will be a lasting reminder of their son’s journey into adulthood and the tight family bond they will always share.
