Our Approach to Family Photography

Family portraits deserve more than an entry-level camera. We use professional camera bodies, high-end lenses, and advanced flash and external lighting to capture images with clarity, depth, and consistent quality. This equipment allows us to control lighting and detail in a way that simply isn’t possible with basic gear.

Every session begins with a consultation so we can plan around your goals, locations, and style. Meeting beforehand helps us connect personally and make sure the details are dialed in before the camera comes out.

The result is an image quality and final product that stand apart from amateur photography. Colors are more accurate, details are sharper, and the finished portraits have the polish and longevity families want when investing in professional photography.

Over the years we’ve photographed families all across Norfolk. From the waterfront views along the Elizabeth River to the charm of Ghent and Larchmont, Downtown city streets, and the quiet beauty of the Norfolk Botanical Garden, we know how to make the most of the city’s diverse settings.

Every family is unique, and the location should reflect that. Some sessions feel natural in a garden or park, while others stand out against a lively urban backdrop. We go on location with you to create an atmosphere that matches your family’s personality, so the portraits feel authentic and true to who you are.

Where we Photograph in Norfolk - Family Photography Sessions

We photograph families in Downtown Norfolk, including the waterfront, city streets, and local landmarks. From the energy of the urban core to the charm of historic neighborhoods, downtown offers a mix of backdrops that give family portraits a modern and authentic feel.

Downtown Norfolk

Historic Neighborhoods

We photograph families in Norfolk’s historic neighborhoods, including Ghent, Larchmont, Freemason, and Colonial Place. Each area offers classic architecture and tree-lined streets that create timeless backdrops for family portraits.

Ocean View Beaches

We photograph families along Norfolk’s beaches, including Ocean View and Willoughby. These waterfront locations offer relaxed stretches of sand, open skies, and a local feel that make family portraits simple, natural, and connected to the coast.

Norfolk Botanical Garden

We photograph families at the Norfolk Botanical Garden, one of the city’s most scenic locations. With vibrant flowers, landscaped gardens, and peaceful water features, it provides a wide range of natural backdrops that work beautifully for family portraits.

Beaches are a popular choice for family portraits in Norfolk, especially along Ocean View and Willoughby. Local families and military households love the relaxed setting and the mix of sand, surf, and open skies.

Sunrise and sunset bring out the best light, making these shorelines ideal for natural and memorable family photos. A beach session in Norfolk is simple, fun, and a timeless way to capture your family.
