Testimonials
Working with Carline is a wonderful experience! She took time to capture who our family is and some of the things we love. She even helped us choose our clothes! One of my favorite collections was a collage of our 10 year old daughter. Carline captured her inner beauty with every picture! Definitely worth the investment. Thank you Carline!

Carline did my maternity photos and my newborn photos. I absolutely loved working with her. She was patient and thorough both with myself and my kids as I wanted them to be included. The pictures turned out so cute! I'll have cherished memories forever because of her.

About Carline Bon-Ami
Fine Art Family & Pet Portraits | Heirloom Wall Art | Stafford & Fredericksburg, VA
I’m Carline Bon-Ami, the photographer behind Bon-Ami Photography, and for more than sixteen years, I’ve worked with families, children, and pets to create portraits that don’t just live on screens—but belong on walls.
Photography, to me, isn’t about rushing through sessions or collecting digital files. It’s about slowing down, paying attention, and creating artwork that feels honest, personal, and lasting. Every session I photograph is thoughtfully planned long before I ever pick up my camera—because the best portraits don’t happen by accident.
I specialize in heirloom-quality wall art designed for real homes and real lives. That means guiding my clients through everything—from styling and pacing the session, to choosing artwork that fits their space and will still feel meaningful years from now. Whether I’m photographing a family, a child, or a beloved pet, my goal is always the same: to create something that feels like them.
Over the years, I’ve learned that great portraits come from comfort and trust, not pressure. I don’t rush children. I give pets time to settle. I make space for laughter, quiet moments, and connection. Clients often tell me they were surprised by how relaxed the experience felt—and how much they loved seeing themselves and their families that way.
I believe photographs deserve to be seen, not buried on a hard drive. That’s why every experience includes guidance toward finished artwork—framed pieces, canvases, and albums designed to become part of your home and your family’s story. Bon-Ami Photography serves families throughout Stafford, Fredericksburg, and Northern Virginia who value craftsmanship, intention, and images that last. If you’re looking for a photographer who treats your memories with care and creates art meant to be lived with, you’re in the right place.
