Military Family Photography
Military Family Photography Contact us today to photograph your military family portraits! Military family photography is an important event in every military family’s life. Photographing military families is something that we are proud to be a part of. Being in the military at one time in my life I realize how important military family photography is. Some various times that a military family will have us photograph their family portraits is before deployment, after deployment and when making a new rank. Another great opportunity for military family photography is at military homecomings. At that time families are gathered together for this huge patriotic celebration. Meet the Critides family. They came to us to have their military family portraits taken on the cusp of Carl making rank and prepping for a long deployment. We love when the family prepares for their portrait session by wearing their dress uniform and also bring a secondary outfit. We began their photography session at our studio. We love using our giant American flag as a backdrop for our military family photography. If you would like to view our studio, you can view it here. Then we moved on to creating a unique family portrait by keeping the sailor front and center with the family holding him closely. Using the white background keeps the image simple and bold at the same time. After photographing in the studio, we traveled to the beach for a few beach portraits at sunset. Sunset is the best time to photograph at the beach because of the warm soft light. When photographing families, we always include a few special pictures of the siblings alone and together. A few shots of mom and dad together will always be a photograph that is cherished. We always keep our photo shoots fun by capturing candid moments of the family having fun enjoying their time together. If you would like to view more of our family portraits check out our portfolio.

To be able to capture moments like these are priceless. Newborn portraits take patience and time. The atmosphere needs to be just right for these little guys. A little white noise, a little heater, lots of soft things like blankets, wraps and hats and lots of love make the photo session perfectly peaceful. Sweet baby Ashton was the model client. With the right balance of the atmosphere and some rocking, it was time to photograph him. We have photographed his family for years and enjoyed seeing this new addition. Do you see his sister?

Where do I start?… How can we ever repay military families for what they do? Their sacrifice goes beyond anything that could ever be paid monetarily. What they do for our country is amazing. We have the opportunity to photograph many military families that are on the cusp of deployment that includes a family separation. These days families are separated for 8+ months and longer. Generally we photograph these families 1 month prior to their deployment. While photographing these families, my mind is always reeling about the family that will be left behind. Meet the O’Connor family. Amazing people, amazing family, amazing sacrifice.

We love the chance to capture a family’s life in the form of family portraits. Taking outside family portraits is always fun especially when you have a place so close to the studio like the Pagoda Gardens in downtown Norfolk. We had a chance to do just that with the Curry family. There was a chill in the air, but the sun was shining, which made for a wonderful shoot. Check out the Curry family’s outdoor family portraits!
