A Whimsical Family Session in Suffolk, Virginia | Hampton Roads Family Photographer

There’s something truly magical about capturing families in a place that holds meaning to them. This family session in Suffolk, Virginia was one of those experiences that filled my heart. I had the pleasure of photographing one of the sweetest families—mom, dad, and their two precious little girls—at a location that’s near and dear to their hearts.

They chose a quiet, hidden gem along the shoreline in Suffolk, perfect for the lifestyle family session they envisioned. The moment we arrived, I could feel the love and connection this family shares—not just with one another, but with this special place.

The girls wore light, floaty dresses that danced in the breeze, creating a soft, whimsical vibe throughout the session. As they explored the shoreline, I captured them in their natural element—finding sea glass, collecting shells, and giggling over the tiny creatures they discovered in the sand. It was storytelling through photography at its finest, and I was honored to document these moments for them.

What I love most about lifestyle family photography is the way it allows families to just be. No stiff posing—just authentic connection, movement, and the beauty of everyday moments.

If you’re dreaming of your own secret family session in Suffolk or anywhere in Hampton Roads, I’d love to help you create something unforgettable. Whether it’s a hidden trail, your backyard, or a private shoreline, these intimate spaces tell your family’s story like no other.
