Choosing a photographer is so much more than just hiring someone with a camera.  As a mama myself, I know how busy you are + also know that photos can feel stressful.  My goal as your photographer is to take away that stress by helping every step of the way.  It is important to me to create an entire experience that is fun + easy, everything from the planning process to the day of the session (and  

even after!).  I want your family to feel like you can truly be yourself and I always aim to not only catch the "posed" shots of you all, but also the candid, in-between ones of you interacting.  I love movement, tender moments, + most of all, I love celebrating the beautiful legacy you are building.  Let's make magic together so that you can look back on it forever. 


THE EXPERIENCE

Send me a message through the "contact" page on my website (or email at ashleybricknerphoto@gmail.com).  Let me know what kind of session you are interested in and timing, and we will go from there!

Let's chat!

Once you are ready to move forward, I will create a booking link for you and all you have to do is sign the contract and pay the deposit.  Once that is complete, your spot is reserved on my calendar!

Let's book that session!

As soon as you book your session, you will receive my Session Prep Guide and other resources for planning (including my Style Guide!).  You also have an option to book a Prep + Planning call for all full sessions.  I love the planning process and love to help you with this!

let's plan for your session!

Yay, it's session day!  And I'VE GOT YOU!!!  All you have to do is show up ready to love on your people and I will take care of the rest.  I will guide you through poses with prompts (and sometimes games!) - and if there are kid meltdowns or tough moments, we will work through them! :)

let's have the session!

After your session (usually between two + three weeks!), you will receive an email with a link to your gallery.  The photos are easy to download and the link is easy to share with family + friends.  With full sessions, you can save, print and share all the high-resolution images in your gallery.

Let's get you those photos!

All full sessions booked with Ashley Brickner Photography are given access to my natural-lit, timeless studio in the Great Neck area of Virginia Beach.  This offers a light + airy setting that is comfortable for the entire family.  Full session clients also given the option to use to my client closet, a curated closet of dresses (size small-large) that photograph beautifully.  If you would like to learn more about the studio or client closet, send me a message and we can start chatting!
