Can you work around deployment schedules?

Absolutely. We understand that military schedules can change at a moment's notice. We offer flexible rescheduling with no fees for deployment-related changes, and we can often accommodate last-minute sessions before departures.

What bases do you serve?

We serve all military installations in Hampton Roads including Naval Station Norfolk, Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek-Fort Story, NAS Oceana, Langley Air Force Base, Fort Eustis, and the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard area. Our Suffolk studio is centrally located for easy access from all bases.

Do you photograph homecoming events?

Yes! Homecoming photography is one of our specialties. We can capture the emotional reunion at the pier or airfield, or schedule a private family session shortly after to document this special time together.

Military Family Stories

What clients are saying.

Client note
My husband was deploying in two weeks when I booked my boudoir session. Roger accommodated my tight timeline and the album was ready before he left. Those photos meant everything during the long months apart.
— Navy Wife, Norfolk

Client note
We've PCS'd three times in five years and finally got family portraits done before our next move. Roger made our kids feel comfortable and the photos are beautiful. We'll treasure them at our next duty station.
