Personalized Senior Portrait Photography in Virginia Beach and Norfolk Senior photography should capture who the high school senior truly is. Therefore, finding out in advance what each senior portrait session should include is important. We strive to reflect the senior’s interests and personality in every photograph. Planning Bri’s Senior Portrait Session Meet Bri. She is a beautiful high school senior who is studying to be a pastry chef. Because of that, we spoke with Bri and her family before the session to help her choose meaningful items to include in her senior photography. As a result, photographing her in her pastry chef uniform created a unique and personal senior portrait experience. For example, some key props that we included were flour, her uniform, cooking utensils, and anything else that would help enhance her senior portraits. Choosing Props That Tell Bri’s Story First, we began photographing Bri in the studio in a casual outfit. With the accessories of a leather jacket and cowboy boots, we knew exactly what to use for lighting and a background. In addition, the natural light area of our studio was perfect, and incorporating the vintage dresser added interest to the scene. Studio Lighting and Creative Portrait Ideas Backlighting is a technique that we often use. This technique isolates the subject against a bright background and creates an ethereal glow. Consequently, our high school senior clients love this high-fashion, unique portrait style. High school senior photography.

Norfolk Newborn Portraits | Wyatt
Norfolk Newborn Portraits for Timeless Family Memories Those first days with a new baby are full of tiny details that change quickly: curled fingers, sleepy expressions, soft hair, and the peaceful way your newborn fits in your arms. At Hayne Photographers, we create Norfolk newborn portraits that preserve those early memories with care, patience, and an artistic eye. Our goal is to give families meaningful images that feel warm, natural, and personal while creating a relaxed experience from start to finish. Every session is designed around your baby’s comfort. We use a thoughtful blend of natural and studio lighting, soft textures, simple props, and gentle posing to create portraits that highlight your newborn without distracting from what matters most. Whether your style is classic, cozy, or lightly styled, we work with you to create artwork your family can enjoy for years. (click on images below to enlarge) A Calm, Comfortable Newborn Photography Experience Newborn photography works best when the session moves at the baby’s pace. We allow time for feeding, soothing, diaper changes, and cuddles so parents never feel rushed. A calm environment helps babies settle naturally, which often leads to softer expressions and more peaceful images. Gentle Posing and Baby-Led Sessions Your baby’s safety and comfort always come first. We focus on supported, natural positions and adjust the session based on your newborn’s cues. If a baby needs a break or prefers to be wrapped, held, or photographed in a simpler setup, we follow that lead. The result is a collection of portraits that feels peaceful, authentic, and connected to your family’s story. Thoughtful Styling for Norfolk Newborn Portraits Props can add personality to a newborn session when they are chosen with intention. In our Norfolk studio, we use soft blankets, vintage-inspired pieces, custom clothing, wraps, and simple textures that complement your baby rather than overpower the portrait. Lighting, color, and composition are planned carefully so each image feels polished while still keeping the focus on your newborn. Family, Sibling, and Parent Portraits Newborn sessions can also include parents and siblings, creating a complete record of this season in your family’s life. These images often become some of the most treasured because they show connection: a parent’s hands, a sibling’s curiosity, or the quiet closeness of holding your baby in the first days at home. Schedule Your Newborn Portrait Session Because newborns change so quickly, it is helpful to plan your session early. Many families book before the baby arrives so there is time to reserve a flexible window around the due date. If your baby is already here, we are happy to talk through timing and options. To learn more about our studio, style, and available portrait options, contact Hayne Photographers to schedule your Norfolk newborn portraits today. We would love to help you create beautiful artwork that celebrates your baby’s earliest days.
Virginia Beach Senior Portraits
Contact us for your Virginia Beach senior portraits sessions today. Virginia Beach Senior Portraits Outdoor senior portraits is one of our most favorite types of photography that we do. We are in an area that is beautiful. The surrounding texture and color gives you such great opportunity to create stunning backgrounds in each of your photographs. MacKenzie is from Pennsylvania. She could not find a senior photographer that met the desire for unique senior portraits. Knowing that she was set on Virginia Beach senior portraits, she started looking online for a senior photographer. Our seniors want to be different and individual. MacKenzie knew that we would be able to provide those unique portraits for her. MacKenzie is a regular model for Seventeen Magazine. As a model she generally has a studio photography session. She decided she didn’t want to do any studio shooting since that is a normal event. She requested all outdoor senior portraits. When thinking about her session she had mentioned possibly photographing her on railroad tracks and she definitely wanted beach portraits. In thinking about her requests we knew that we would have no problem meeting them. MacKenzie understands how important professional make up is in photographs, so we schedule a make up artist to meet her at our studio prior to her session. Because of it’s importance in a finished picture, we always offer professional make up services. Having a large studio, and a dressing area, it provides the perfect space for professional hair and make up services. Having those services available at the studio allows a client to make our studio a one stop shop. View our studio here. We first headed out to a field where we started our outdoor senior portrait session. We brought our vintage couch on location. Bringing a piece of furniture to a photo shoot adds interest to a photograph. It also gives us the opportunity for more posing ideas. Outdoor Senior Portraits Our next stop was the railroad tracks. One thing we learned early on was that if we were going to use railroad tracks in our outdoor senior portraits, they can not be live tracks. Discovering a good set of unused railroad tracks will help create Finally we photographed MacKenzie’s beach portraits. We always choose a portion of the beach that will have several background options. Being that she wanted Virginia Beach Senior Portraits taken, this location fit the bill! In these pictures we were able to incorporate a pier, jettys and the surf. Having all these background options allowed us to create some unique senior portraits. Click on an image to enlarge Choosing when to do your outdoor senior portraits at the beach is critical. We always choose to photograph our beach portraits at sunset. Photographing at sunset is best to capture the golden light. Sunset Beach Portraits Click on an image to enlarge Are you looking for outdoor senior portraits that are unique to you?

Product Photography | Dimitry Custom Bikes | Virginia Commerical Photographer
Are you looking for someone to take care of your product photography? If so, please contact us! Every craftsman deserves great product photography that shows off their work. Many hours go into producing a product that is worthy of selling. Without good unique product photography your buyers may no see it as you intended. This custom bike is a great example of how to showcase your product to the world. Product Photography This custom bicycle came to our studio where we photographed a few shots indoors and out. We started with some full-length images to show the sweeping lines and cool paint job. Here’s a Product Photography tip: It is always important to let the viewers understand what you are photographing first before doing close-ups. Product Photography Location Shooting Our setting for our product photography shoot was an urban grunge scene that fit well with the bike’s looks. A studio set allows us to photograph products in controlled light. This is especially important when photographing the products texture and color. Detail Photos Product photography must always includes details of the product. The springs on the front forks and the cool treads on the tires are captured using close-up lenses. Details can be easily missed if the photographer does not examine the product closely for unique features. On Location Product Session Shooting outdoors fit this product well where it fits into the environment perfectly. Using reference items to allow the viewer to understand the size of the item is important. For this product photography shoot we used a pair of legs to accomplish this. A variety of lenses were used since the bike had details that were important but the overall look was equally important. A telephoto lens was perfect for the outdoor shots. A wide angle lens showed off the sweeping lines of the bike’s frame. A macro lens should be in the bag of every product photographer to get those details. Unique product photography is key to getting viewers to understand your product. You can see more of our product photography example here.

Historic Hampton University Chapel Wedding
Historic Hampton University Chapel Wedding Beautiful wedding photos show depth of emotion by highlighting details that could easily be missed. This bridal portrait truly captures the beauty of bride Lauren, and her incredible choice of wedding locations. Lauren was a stunning bride. After photographing her bridal portraits at the Chamberlain Hotel three months prior to her wedding, we knew the wedding day would be amazing. And, it was! We have to applaud Tanya Frasier of Graceful Designs who coordinated the event. Lauren’s gown was from Pure English in Virginia Beach, Va and it looked spectacular in the photos. Lauren & Ian’s wedding ceremony took place at the historic Hampton University Chapel. The reception was at the Chamberlain Hotel. This hotel is also historic. It has now been converted from a pre 1900 officers quarters for Fort Monroe, to a hotel and upscale retirement community.

This is really a thoughtful thing for brides to do and help preserve the memories of each person who attended the wedding! In spite of torrential rain during preparation and the ceremony, the photography went off without a hitch. Rain on the wedding day is considered good luck. In Lauren and Ian’s case, we certainly agree. When a bride books wedding photography with us, we often find that their friends come to us for their weddings too. Lauren’s cousin loved her photos and has booked a June wedding with us. We’re so excited to do another wedding for this lovely family! (click on images to enlarge)

As a result, we suggested Portsmouth just after sunset. That timing gave us soft sky color, glowing city lights, and a romantic backdrop.

We also captured the city, the water, and the excitement of the evening. If you are looking for wedding photographers, we can help plan meaningful portraits.

If you would like to couple’s session or a Trash the Dress Session, contact us! Trash the Dress Who wants to trash their dress? Well that may sound shocking at first, but when you consider the images that will get from the session, you may reconsider. Trash the dress is a trend that is happening that gives brides an excuse to wear their wedding gowns for a second time. The result is amazing wedding photos. On a wedding day we can’t have a bride in urban settings in the ocean, however we can for this session. It is a new wedding style photography session that creates a contrasting image. An elegant bride in the city streets, abandoned buildings or in the water. This contrasting image is generally breathtaking and captures everyone’s eye. Mario and Meredith did their Trash the Dress session on their one year anniversary. Urban Trash the Dress Portraits Click on image to enlarge We started their portrait session in downtown. We wanted to incorporate the texture of the old brick and texture of our historic area. Having the lightrail in downtown, we decided to include it in a photograph. By using the technique of dragging the shutter we were able to create a unique picture. By using this technique we are able to blur the moving object while freezing the bride and groom in the frame. Beach Trash the Dress Pictures At sunset we headed to the beach to finish our session. We always shoot our beach portraits at sunset allowing us to have great light. We knew that this would definitely be the last stop for photos because Meredith wanted to get in the ocean in her wedding gown. Before getting in the water we like to utilize the other areas of the beach. Using the sand dunes and the jettys we get a variety of looks in a small area.
