Let's face it, life with kids is chaotic, messy, crazy, and oh so fun! And there is no reason a family photography session shouldn't be as well.
When I do family sessions, I'm all about embracing the chaos. Instead of pressuring your kids (and husband) into smiling into the camera, I'll use prompts to help you relax and have fun. We'll still get "smile at the camera" photos, but we'll also capture those sweet moments that display the true essence of family life with kids.

Real Families. Cherished Memories.
Featured Family Galleries
Part of the beauty of Norfolk is its proximity to great locations for photography. From grassy parks, to colorful forests, even a wildflower field or two, the possibilities are endless!
When you book, we will discuss your family's needs and vision and pick a location that is just right for you.
Family photography in nature
Norfolk is home to so many beautiful beaches! Why not take advantage and have your family session at one of them?
Kick your shoes off to feel the sand between your toes. Let your children play in the water (at the end of the session of course). Make family photos a FUN experience for everyone.

The cunninghams
My favorite part of summer has always been the wildflowers! The riot of colors. The way they just grow all over the place without rhyme or reason. Their resilience and beauty.
Norfolk has a few different places where the flowers take hold every spring and summer. It's the perfect opportunity to celebrate your family, in a beautiful natural setting.

The Family Experience
A family session with me is more than just a photo shoot – it's a celebration of the unique bonds that tie your loved ones together. In every candid laugh, every warm embrace, and every shared glance, we tell the story of your family- as you are now. We will flow from the posed "everyone smile for the camera" poses to prompts and candid moments that show of your joy of being together.
We are creating wall art for your home. You want those pieces to display who you are and celebrate it. So we will laugh, play, have fun, and just enjoy the moment, ensuring we capture your family as they truly are.
let your family's love take center stage- capture real moments that you will treasure forever.

We did a family wildflower mini session and it was sooooo hot and humid that day. My hair was literally a disaster when I stepped out of the car. Justine was able to edit my hair and make it look much better and we got some super cute photos of the kids too!
Family Session
Booked a quick mini session with Justine off recommendations and needless today she’ll be photographing our family for a long time! I was blown away at the images she was able to capture in such a quick session and around the chaos of our 4 boys and a dog. Cool/calm/collected and TALENTED. And her turnaround time was great. 5/5!
family Session
I just recently had pictures of my family done by justine and not only was she super sweet and friendly but the pictures were AMAZING! I highly recommend her to anyone! Especially if you have young babies (i have a 1 year old) She was so patient with her and really followed anything that my baby was doing and still got great shots!
Family Session
Justine was excellent to work with. She was the patient of a saint. She captures moments between my kids and I that I have not even noticed or seen a picture of. She was there to help plan outfits.

Justine was excellent to work with. She captured our girls so beautifully! I cannot wait to have these photos hanging on our walls.
