Right now is worth remembering.

Empowering Portrait Photography in Hampton Roads, Virginia

Creative portrait photography that dares you to believe in your own beauty.

When it comes to something fun, glamorous, and not totally necessary like a luxe photoshoot session for yourself, it can feel hard to justify it. I mean, you've got bills, you could be donating, your friends and family want gifts, and you have NO problem spending money on all that! But when it comes to yourself? Guilt and shame get in the driver's seat, but remember this:

Celebration is a good and necessary thing.

Whether it's a birthday, leaving a toxic relationship, or just wanting to see yourself differently, honoring this moment is a good thing. So tell the fear that's holding you back to HUSH. It's time for you to believe your moments are worth celebrating. 

You don’t have to earn this.

  • Studio Session with Marshay

  • Studio Session with Julie

  • Outdoor Session with Liz

  • Outdoor Session with Aiko

  • Studio Session with Ashley

Your whole self is welcome here.

You are not a blemish to be edited. Your rolls, your stretch marks, you awkwardness, your silliness - all of that is what makes you YOU. I don’t spend time trying to make those things go away because they’re part of your story. You don’t have to play small here. In fact, I want you to take up all the space. Suck the air out of the room and have the nerve to elave us all breathless.

From Grace:

“It was absolutely fantastic I felt like a legit queen. It was such a safe and wonderful experience.”

Hey,  by the way

Frequently Asked Questions

  • I'm nervous about posing, will you help me?

    Absolutely! We'll talk about what body parts you want to highlight or minimize then work through posing from there. Before your session, we'll talk about what physical limitations you have or what poses you may want to experiment with.

  • Do I have to do my own hair and makeup?

    Yes, ma'am. I'm currently vetting makeup artists, so I don't have someone dedicated on my team just yet. You do have the option of bringing your makeup artist and having them do your makeup at the studio so everything is fresh. 

  • I don't own one of those beautiful dresses, so what should I wear?

    Oh babe, I have those pretty dresses for YOU! You can opt to wear one of my featured dresses (for free!) or you can bring your own.

  • What's your policy on payment and rescheduling?

    It’s pretty simple actual: Your session isn’t booked until you’ve paid in full (or set up a payment plan through afterpay). If you need to cancel, you’ll get a 50% refund if you cancel more than 3 days in advance. If you cancel 3 days or less before your session, there will be no refunds. Since these are limited sessions, there will not be an option to reschedule.

  • Can you use photoshop to make me look good?

    First of all, you already look good. But my retouching policy is this: I will only remove/alter things that you can cover with makeup, that will go away in a week or two anyway, or that a pair of spanx would take care of. Beyond that, I encourage you to embrace the woman you are, not the filtered AI version you might be aspiring to.
