A Whimsical Virginia Beach Photo Shoot at Pungo Ferry | Virginia Beach Photographer

As a Virginia Beach photographer, I love capturing moments that are both beautiful and meaningful. While I truly enjoy the classic and familiar locations I often work at, sometimes the creative side of me craves something new—something unexpected.

Recently, I had the joy of photographing my daughter, Tashina, at the charming Pungo Ferry in Virginia Beach. She came to me with a vision that instantly sparked my creativity: whimsical, colorful, carefree, and with a twist.

Tashina knows me well. She understands that while my heart cherishes my go-to locations, sometimes a photography session in Virginia Beach needs a bit of adventure. She’ll say, “Mom! I have an idea!” and from that moment, I know we’re in for something special.

For this shoot, she wanted vibrant colors, playful moments, and a sense of freedom you can almost feel in the images. We laughed, explored, and let the beauty of Pungo Ferry lead the way. The rustic charm of the dock, the soft light over the water, and the colorful pops of creativity she envisioned came together perfectly.

Tashina often tells me, “I wish more of your clients would want different locations too.” And I couldn’t agree more. While I will always adore my favorite Virginia Beach photography spots, exploring new locations can bring out a fresh energy—not just for me as the photographer, but for you as the client.

Whether it’s a hidden gem like Pungo Ferry, the sandy stretches of Sandbridge, a wildflower field, or even a spot that holds personal meaning, a unique location can make your photos truly one-of-a-kind.

If you’re planning your next Virginia Beach photo shoot, I encourage you to think outside the box. Dream about places that inspire you, tell your story, and reflect your personality. As Tashena Shaw Photography, I’m here to bring that vision to life and capture those moments in a way that is both timeless and true to you.

Sometimes, the most magical memories happen when we step off the beaten path and follow a spark of inspiration… just like Tashina reminded me to do.
