Why Your Favorite Spot Might Be the Perfect Photo Location | Virginia Beach Photographer

Sometimes, the best locations are the ones we stumble upon. Recently, my daughter and I discovered a quiet, tucked-away spot right here in Virginia Beach — and it turned into the sweetest little adventure. We picked wildflowers, chased the golden light, and just enjoyed the kind of unscripted, magical moments that remind me why I love being a photographer in Virginia Beach.

These hidden gems are more than just pretty backdrops — they become part of the story.

As a Virginia Beach photographer, I always encourage my clients to consider locations that hold meaning. Whether it’s a trail you hike every weekend, the beach you visited growing up, or even your own backyard, meaningful spots can bring out natural emotions and authentic moments. Photos taken in a place you love tend to feel more you — and that’s what makes them timeless.

Client Style Ideas
This approach works beautifully for all types of sessions:

  • Families: Let the kids roam and play in a place they already love.
  • Maternity: Bring that peaceful glow to a serene, sentimental location.
  • Couples: Choose your “just us” place — where your story began, or a hidden spot you both enjoy.
  • Vacationers: Capture your trip memories in a spot you discovered while exploring Virginia Beach.

Whether your style is whimsical, romantic, carefree, or cozy, the right setting will help you feel more at ease — and that translates beautifully on camera.
