What Chesapeake Graduates Are Saying
"I graduated from Grassfield High School and Roger created the most amazing composite with my graduation gown, my volleyball uniform, and a professional business outfit. It tells the whole story of my high school journey in one image. I could not be happier with the results!"
— Taylor R., Grassfield High School Class of 2025
"We drove from Deep Creek to the Suffolk studio and it was so worth it. My son wanted something unique for his senior portraits and Roger delivered beyond our expectations. The lighting, the creativity, the composites — everything was top notch. Highly recommend to any Chesapeake family!"

Chesapeake Graduation FAQs

Where are sessions held?
At our professional studio in Suffolk, just 33 minutes from Great Bridge.

What are the best graduation photo locations in Chesapeake?
Chesapeake has scenic spots like Chesapeake City Park, the Great Bridge Battlefield, and Northwest River Park. Our studio approach, however, gives you professional lighting and the ability to create multi-scene composites that would be impossible to capture at a single outdoor location. You get the best of every world in one session.
Can you photograph my cap toss or ceremony?
We focus on studio portrait sessions rather than live ceremony coverage. In our studio, we recreate cap toss moments, diploma celebrations, and dynamic poses with perfect lighting that outshines what you would capture at a live event.
