Summer Senior Photography Session
Summer Senior Photography Session in Virginia Beach Celebrate the end of the school year with a summer senior photography session that captures your personality, style, and favorite local spots. Senior Girl On Beach Contact us today for your session. Beat the Summer Heat with Indoor Senior Portraits For Olivia’s senior session, we started in the studio. During the summer, indoor portraits work best during the day, and outdoor portraits look best in the evening. This schedule helps each senior stay comfortable and look fresh despite the heat and humidity. In the studio, we used different lighting setups and backgrounds to create variety. Olivia brought several outfits and statement necklaces, which gave each image its own style. We always encourage seniors to bring clothing and accessories that show their personality. Need outfit inspiration? Check out our guide here. Senior Drape Portraits for School Olivia also wanted a drape portrait for school during her session. As a leading school photography company in the area, we love helping seniors complete their school pictures while enjoying a personalized portrait experience.

Outdoor Senior Portraits at the Beach Because our studio sits near the ocean, beach portraits made the perfect finale for Olivia’s summer senior photography session. Late afternoon and early evening create the best light for outdoor senior portraits, especially when the setting sun adds a warm glow. Plan Ahead for Golden Hour Senior Photos Great sunset portraits require smart timing. We photographed Olivia in an urban downtown area first, then moved to a fishing pier, and finished on the beach at golden hour. This plan gave her a full gallery with variety, beautiful light, and a relaxed pace. Include Family in Your Senior Portrait Session Olivia invited her sister to join a few photos, and we gladly included her. We love when seniors bring a friend or family member because it adds energy, connection, and meaningful memories to the session.

Professional Actor Head Shot
Professional Actor Head Shot: Stand Out in Every Casting Call A strong Professional Actor Head Shot helps casting directors see your range, confidence, and personality before you ever walk into the room. If you want to update your portfolio and make a memorable first impression, we can help you create polished images that support your acting goals. Contact us today to schedule your session. Why a Professional Actor Head Shot Matters Adam came to us because he wanted to refresh his acting portfolio. He needed images that would help directors notice him and remember him. A polished head shot gives actors and actresses a simple, effective way to stand apart from a crowded field. Actors often have only a few seconds to make an impression. When a head shot looks professional, unique, and current, casting teams can quickly picture the roles that fit that performer. Adam wanted that kind of eye-catching image, so we focused on clean lighting, strong expression, and a confident look. Keep Your Actor Head Shot Simple For actor head shots, simple choices usually work best. Casting directors should notice your face first, not a distracting outfit, heavy makeup, or busy background. Choose clothing without bright patterns, oversized logos, or colors that compete with your expression. Plan the Character You Want to Show Before your session, think about the roles you want to pursue. If you want dramatic roles, bring serious wardrobe options and practice focused expressions. If you want comedy roles, choose relaxed clothing and show a warmer, more approachable look. If you want both, we can create variety during the same session. Your Actor Head Shot should show casting directors how easily you can move into character. Strong facial expressions, simple styling, and professional lighting all work together to create images that feel natural, polished, and memorable. Book Your Professional Actor Head Shot If you want to build your portfolio and improve your chances of getting noticed, schedule your Professional Actor Head Shot today. Interested in learning more?

Trendy Senior Session
Trendy Senior Session At Hayne Photographers, being up to date with what is in style is a big part of who we are. That’s why we took Adrian on a trendy senior session. To book your senior session, contact us today. Cars Can Add To The “Cool” Factor We always encourage our senior’s to add their own special flair to their images. For this shoot, Adrian wanted to showcase his car. With different makes and models, it can make any session into a trend setter. Cars are a great way to incorporate professional lighting so that the photography stands out. The lighting technique we use is called off camera flash. The best time for capturing the lighting inside and outside the car is at sunset. At that time of the day you can be more creative with how you bounce the light off the vehicle and senior to create a unique photograph. Different locations can also add more character to the images. We chose the beach for Adrian’s car, as it offered different textures to the background that offset his vehicle. If you need help with your photographic lighting, we can help. Make Your Style Stand Out In addition to his car, Adrian wanted to show off his unique style in clothing. Showing off his urban fashion in a historic area made his pictures more photographically appealing. You can even make an indoor head shot stand out by adding in accessories that can draw the eye. For his head shots, Adrian incorporated a colorful bow tie to add to his amazing style. What to know what to bring for your senior session? Check out our What To Wear guide!

Mark & Meghan Wedding Slideshow Half Moon, Norfolk Virginia | Wedding Photography
Mark & Meghan put together an awesome wedding for themselves and a “few” of their closest family & friends.

Aftershoot Norfolk Downtown & Beach – Mario & Meredith | Couples Lifestyle Photography
We had the joy of photographing Mario & Meredith’s wedding a few weeks ago and had them join us again for an aftershoot. Meredith put her wedding dress back on and Mario found a sharp looking suit and we hit the town. Aftershoots allow us to create some more “edgy” shots without having to keep Mario & Meredith pristine for their wedding day. We walked around some alleyways and streets of downtown Norfolk then headed to the beach for a quick romp through the water. Too cool! While these guys had shot with us a few times before, many of our aftershoot couples are first-timers with us wanting our style of photography but having already completed their wedding this is a great option! Here’s a few shots of our afternoon with this fabulous couple:
Mary & Turner Aftershoot Norfolk | Couples Photography
Mary and Turner returned for a late afternoon shoot at the Japanese Gardens in downtown Norfolk with us and it was great to get to know them a bit more after we shot their wedding a few weeks ago. Aftershoots are a ton of fun and they have even been called “therapeutic” since it is a separate shoot from their wedding day where the bride & groom can let their hair down so-to-speak. Away from the hustle & bustle of the wedding day our Aftershoots offer our couples a refreshing time where we can do some more creative shooting without the risk of getting the gown a bit dirty on the wedding day! In Mary & Turners case her dress from Maya Couture made it through just fine but some of our bride & grooms end up in the water or rolling around in the beach…..you name it! Mary’s make-up was terrific thanks to the talents of Kim Wadsworth and we even did some studio shooting to show that off. So, if you want a do-over for your wedding day, or in Mary & Turner’s case just an evening out together for a few stress-free shots in your wedding attire – contact us and we’ll set up your own Aftershoot just for you!
Wedding Slideshow Town Point Club – Tonya & Corey | Wedding Photography
Just a sneak peek into Tonya & Corey’s amazing wedding day at the Town Point Club in downtown Norfolk. We dodged a few raindrops but the party roared on through the rain & wind. It was a joy to hang out with them and get a few really cool shots! Check out the slideshow and you’ll see what I am talking about….
Wedding Town Point Club Norfolk – Tonya & Corey | Hayne Photographers
Tonya & Corey rolled out the red carpet for their wedding day complete with Bentleys, a live band, a bridal suite overlooking the Atlantic and a dress to die for! We were thrilled to be invited to photograph their wedding day. We have never seen the Town Point Club dressed to the “T’s” like it was for their reception – simply breath taking thanks to the team at Graceful Designs. A brief downpour didn’t put a damper on their day as the wedding guests overlooked Waterside as the wind and rain swept by to reveal a starlit evening. We wish Tonya & Corey the best as they kick-off the crazy world of marriage!
Greek Orthodox Wedding – Krista & Chuck
What a beautiful and memorable day we spent with Chuck & Krista as they were married at Annunciation Greek Orthodox Cathedral. We strolled around downtown Norfolk on what the city would call, “a Chamber of Commerce Day” for a few shots as well. The evening was spent at the Downtown Marriott as the dancing and celebration continued. Such a perfect day for the perfect couple. Congrats Chuck & Krista!
No Rules Workshop – Norfolk Photography Workshop
So we spilled the beans at our latest workshop as we met some real neat folks and dished out some serious knowledge. We just happened to have a most amazing model for the day as we explored the streets around our studio and messed around with some lights in the studio too. Thanks to Erin, our model for turning on her glam for us! Stay tuned for our next workshop as we may be headed your way soon, check it out here – www.norulesworkshop.com.

Take a peek into Vinny & Christine’s fabulous wedding day. All made possible with a great looking couple, Kim Wadsworth, the Chrysler Museum, Antonia Christianson Events, Blue Steel Lighting, Daevid’s Bridal Flowers, oh yeah…and some pretty nifty photography. Ready….set…go!
Maternity Photography – Heather & Gerry
Umm. Sorry ladies. Don’t expect to look this good at 8 months. I was kinda hesitant to post this Maternity shoot on the blog since it’s just not fair to anyone thinking about getting pregnant. Inserting disclaimer here: RESULTS MAY VARY. NOT ANY ALL PREGNANCIES LOOK THIS GOOD. I mean really, it’s just not fair. Gerry didn’t do so bad either. I have a feeling they are going to have one sharp looking baby in the next few weeks. More jealousy ensues.
Wedding Chrysler Museum – Vinny & Christine
Vinny & Christine brought the house down at the Chrysler Museum last Saturday. An evening full of dancing and festivities with just a “few” of their family and friends was on tap and we were just along for the crazy ride! Vinny was airborne a few times with the help of all his brothers and Christine was simply stunning in her gown. Daevid’s Bridal Flowers did his magic to the bouquets & decorations along with the talents of Antonia Christianson Events the night went off without a hitch – can you say fab? I knew you could…. Here’s some of my favs from the evening:
