Historic Yorktown Mini-Session

Historic Yorktown, family session , Diana Gordon Photography, photo

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...

    Natural Light Diffusers | Photog Friday

    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...

      Langley Air Force Family Session

      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...

        Photog Friday | Email Templates

        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...

            Outlook Beach Family Session

            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.

                Shooting in Kelvin | Photog Friday

                photography education, diana gordon photography, photo

                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 an honor to photograph this family over the years! Lauren and Kyle hired me several years ago to photograph their wedding.
