virginia beach FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER
Family
As a mama of four myself, I know firsthand how fast your family changes. That is why I am so incredibly passionate about capturing these special moments so you can look back on them one day. I always encourage families to schedule photos at least once a year, in order to document those growing little ones + your family dynamic. In every photo session, I aim to capture the connection between
your family members. That's what makes your family unique and what tells your story! My family sessions can take place outdoors, in my studio, or in your home. They include full-service consultation, with a Session Prep Guide complete with styling tips (and assistance if you prefer!). I love being along every step of the way from the prep/planning to the final delivery of your gallery.
CAPTURING your story AT EVERY STAGE
THE FAMILY EXPERIENCE
"Ashley is amazing and we highly recommend her. Our family pictures are amazing and such treasures. She is friendly (my littles loved her), timely, and flexible with location. 10/10!" -Heather
"our family pictures are such treasures!"
"You can feel her passion and how much she truly loves what she does! From the start, she was kind, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable. Ashley even helped us choose our family outfits, and we couldn't be happier with her guidance. She was so sweet and patient with our kids, who warmed up to her immediately." -The Magley Family
"We had the absolute best experience having our family photos done with Ashley. With a 4 year old and 9 month old, it is not an easy task. Ashley made it such a fun experience, and I was blown away with how our pictures turned out. I am so happy we trusted her with our little family and I can't wait for future sessions with her!" -The Wilkinson Family
If you have decided that ABP sounds like the perfect fit for you (yay!!), I cannot thank you enough! Once you let me know you would like to move forward, a session will be created for you + once you book that session and sign the non-refundable retainer, your spot is secured!
All of my sessions are booked through a booking site that is easy to navigate + provide payment. You can use your card, PayPal, or Venmo - whatever is easiest for you.
how can i book my session?
Once you book your session, you will receive a Session Prep Guide which will include styling tips for your session - including pictures!
I have a background in Fashion, including a degree in Fashion Merchandising, + love to help with this part of the process! I always offer a zoom call to chat about styling or am here to text or email about looks that will add to the overall final outcome + beauty in your photos.
WHAT DO I WEAR?
There are several locations in the area that are ideal for photos, as they offer great light, backgrounds, options, and aren't typically overcrowded.
The Session Prep Guide will include a section on location suggestions and I am also always willing to work with you on the location that best meets the vision you have for your photo session. My indoor studio in the Great Neck area is also always an option for any photo session booked with ABP.
where will be photos be?
My approach towards sessions is very natural + leads children to be able to be themselves as much as possible, without having to "pose" through the entire session. This helps so much!
With that being said, I have four kids and so please know that I get it!!!! Little ones have moments all the time and we work through them. And it's honestly these candid, real moments that are usually when the magic happens and when you love the photos the most.
what iF my kids don't behave?
I would love to capture your special moments, but all sessions outside of 30 miles of Virginia Beach have a travel fee.
If this would apply to you, just let me know what location you would like to shoot at and I can send over information!
do you travel?
Once your gallery is complete (usually within two to three weeks), you will receive a link via email to your online gallery.
The link can easily be shared with family + friends. The files are very easy to download on your smartphone or computer and you will have full rights to print and use your photos as you choose. There is professional printing available through your gallery to make it as easy as possible for you!
How will i receive my photos?
In advance, if you can! It is never too early to book your session, I can schedule sessions 6-7 months in advance! It is best to schedule as soon as you can so that you can secure your spot and find the day that works best for your family.
As far as the time of day, outdoor sessions are typically scheduled about one hour before sunset in order to get the best light for photos. Indoor sessions are more flexible, and we can discuss the timing of those together!
