As a Virginia Beach photographer, not only do I enjoy amazing views of the shore from "the office" but I am blessed to meet many wonderful families each summer! A large portion of my portrait sessions are shot at Sandbridge beach, or the Virginia Beach oceanfront, for families who wish to capture happy memories of their summer vacation by the shore.

Many of the families I photograph are large groups of extended families who come together to relax and reconnect. Often grandparents, cousins, aunts and uncles are all together for the first time in quite a while. It is always an honor to capture these awesome memories for them. I strive to document their relationships in an authentic way that provides them with beautiful and meaningful images to enjoy for years to come.

I am excited that summer is nearly here! My calendar is filling up with family sessions, engagement shoots and weddings. I can't wait to create more beautiful beach memories and photograph them all!

Hampton Roads Photographer Yorktown Engagement Session

Shean an Marliana were best friends before they ever started dating. When we met over coffee for our wedding consultation, it was heartwarming to see how relaxed and comfortable they are together. I could tell the bond between these two ran deep. At our engagement session in Yorktown, they joked and laughed the whole way through. Their warmth and lightheartedness made for an easy-breezy session. Even though the waterfront wind was quite chilly, these two stuck it together like champs. Their playful, upbeat nature took kicked the cold aside and their love became the star of the show.

Their sweet puppy made her photographic debut on Yorktown beach!

Then we headed inland a bit to get out of the breeze.

Congrats Marlaina and Shean!! Thanks for being amazingly awesome. I can't wait to photograph your October wedding! XO - Melissa
