Hampton Roads, Virginia Family Portrait Photography
I can’t wait to share this Historic Yorktown mini-session. I photographed this sweet family 9 years ago in Historic Yorktown, near this same location! We have known the Dausman family for years and due to the military they moved away for several years and now they are back in Hampton Roads. And we are excited...
I photograph all over Hampton Roads, Virginia and each location I photograph I look for natural diffusers. A light diffuser is any material that scatters light. The purpose of a diffuser is to spread the light out so it is less harsh. A lot of studio photographers, newborns, even photographers that use flashes often diffuse...
Photographing on a military base is not a first for me, but usually it is a retirement or a reenlistment. Recently I photographed a family on Langley Air Force base and that was a first! They found the location for me and we made it work! It was a lot of fun thinking through their individual pictures...
Email templates have been a game-changer for my business. I send out similar emails for sessions, invoices, contracts, reminder emails, print releases, galleries, the list could go on and one (and I send out A LOT of them!) One way that I save my time and sanity is to have generic email templates. I have...
For the first time ever, I have offered mini-sessions at the beach! And they turned out beautifully! Outlook beach at Ft. Monroe did not disappoint! Meet the Peek family! I have been photographing their family for years (like 10 years!). And it is a joy to photograph their family and to watch their children grow and...
Just a gorgeous Outlook Beach family session! I met the Loe family at our church and it was a joy to photograph their family at Ft. Monroe. The beach was the perfect location to take family portraits right at the end of summer. The beach wasn’t crowded and we had beautiful weather! I love the...
I am so excited to share this Ft. Monroe beach family session. I met this beautiful family several years ago and we have taken pictures at several different locations around Hampton Roads from Riverview Farm park, Historic Yorktown, and now Ft. Monroe. And I just adore these beach portraits! Noah is so cute! The boys! I...
Shooting in Kelvin was a game changer for me as a photographer. No more worrying about yellow tones from lights anymore! Kelvin is a scale to measure the color of light. Each image you take has a color temperature attached to it. A lot of people default to using the white balance settings that are...
What a joy to photograph this family and their newest addition-Van! I am so excited to share this Norfolk Newborn Session. I photographed Lauren and Justus’s wedding and now their growing family! (I even photographed Kenyon’s newborns!) I love it when our past brides continue to let me be a part of their lives and...
What an honor to photograph this family over the years! Lauren and Kyle hired me several years ago to photograph their wedding. It was a beautiful intimate wedding (Covid wedding)! I meet their family, siblings, and parents. Fast forward through the years, and Lauren and Kyle have been a part of the Family Membership Experience....
