Why Choose the Peaks of Otter for your Photoshoot


The Peaks of Otter is a beautiful, accessible stop on the Blue Ridge Parkway in Bedford, Virginia and it makes a wonderful photoshoot location! At first glance, it seems like one mountain, but with a little exploration, it proves to be much more than that. With a 3-mile walking loop, reflecting lake, and meadow area, you can get so much variety out of your photoshoot there!

Samantha and Diego


Samantha & Diego are friends of mine, so this session felt more like a walk than a photoshoot, which made capturing them easy. They were up for exploring the whole loop, so we stopped at all the best spots. The fall colors were showing off, and the sunlight? Definitely a paid actor. Peaks of Otter is a versatile location, and the path is super accessible. It is perfect for a relaxed session with beautiful views.
