Family Photographers Norfolk, VA Motherhood Mini Sessions

Virginia-Beach-mom+Me-Mini-Sessions.png

Spring has sprung and that means Mother's Day is just around the corner. This year, I didn't have time to fit in spring minis, as wedding season started early and full on, but I have held a few appointments for motherhood sessions because it really feeds my soul to capture that special bond between a mama and her kiddos. 

These sessions are not for perfect poses and "cheese" grins. They are a chance to take some time just for you and your babies, to make something meaningful and tangible.  To create some beautiful images, but to also just focus on loving, snuggling, smooching, giggling and savoring those small moments that have such a huge and lasting impact. 

family-photographers-in-norfolk-motherhood-mom-and-me-mini-sessions-melissa-bliss-photography.jpg

I have only a few spots open unfortunately, though I would love to shoot these more often! Sessions are limited to mamas and their children, or grandmas and their grandbabies. Session fee of $199 includes a 30 minute session, on online gallery and 10 digital images to download with a print release. Sessions will take place on location in Hampton Roads. Please get in touch for available dates and times.

I can't wait to hear from you!

I met the most beautiful little family for a mini session at Oak Grove Park a couple of weeks ago! Grandma had purchased a gift certificate for their mini session - what an awesome gift! We scheduled their portraits in time to take advantage of the beautiful fall color, and to commemorate this cutie's first birthday!

I've always been in love with ginger-haired babies and this little one stole my heart at hello!

Our mini session was short and sweet, but full of beautiful images and happy memories nonetheless. It was the perfect amount of time for a busy one year old, for sure. I, on the other hand, could have photographed these lovely folks all night. (Bring me all the redheads please!)

Thank you Condon Family, for coming out to play with me!  I look forward to seeing you all again! - Melissa

It's that time again! Time to say farewell to summer. I am sad to see her go, but I can't wait for the cool, crisp fall weather!

Spring Cherry Blossom Mini Sessions

Spring is on it’s way and the gorgeous Cherry Trees will soon be blooming! I have time this year for only three mini sessions during the bloom season. These are some of my favorite sessions throughout the entire year! These gorgeous blossoms can’t be beat for the perfect spring portrait back drop. If you wish to snag one of these appointments, don’t delay. These spots will go quickly!

Details about these seasonal portrait mini sessions:

 $200: Session includes 20 minutes of the photographer’s time. Up to 4 family members may be included in your session. Additional subjects will incur an additional fee. 5 retouched high resolution digital images will be available for download from your online proofing gallery. Gallery will be ready two weeks after session date. Print purchases may be placed a la carte through your personal online gallery. A contract and invoice payment are required to reserve an appointment. VA Sales tax will be added to invoices when applicable. Please note:  Peak bloom time varies from year to year. Appointments will be scheduled for late March/early April. I only schedule a small handful of these sessions to allow flexibility for weather and bloom time changes. I cannot, however, guarantee that blooms will be at their peek for your session date. I will make every effort to schedule appointments for peak bloom days.  All appointments will take place in the evening. Please inquire for further details.
