Your Local Studio Experience
At Motiontography, we offer a personalized approach to every session. Based right here in Suffolk, our comfortable, private studio is the perfect place to create intimate, controlled lighting portraits. Unlike other Hampton Roads photographers who travel in from Virginia Beach or Norfolk, we are Suffolk's own maternity photographer — our studio is located on Abbey Rd, which means you get the home advantage of a truly local artist who knows this city inside and out.
Suffolk is one of the most underrated maternity photography destinations in all of Hampton Roads. With its blend of rural beauty, historic charm, and natural landscapes, this city offers a range of stunning backdrops you simply cannot find elsewhere. From the serene waterways of Bennett's Creek and the lush trails near the Great Dismal Swamp, to the quaint streets of historic downtown Suffolk and the wide-open farm fields that stretch across the western part of the city, every session here tells a unique story.
Our studio sessions start at $750 and on-location Suffolk sessions at $900. Both include a pre-session consultation, 1.5-2 hour session, professional editing, and 15 edited images (11 advanced edits + 4 creative composites). We provide beautiful tulle maternity robes with the color customized in post-production, or bring your own outfits — we encourage it! Partners and children are always welcome at no extra charge.
Our goal is to create more than just pictures; we aim to capture the profound connection and anticipation of your pregnancy. We provide expert guidance on posing, styling, and wardrobe to ensure you feel confident and radiant throughout your session.

Planning Your Suffolk Session
Located right here in Suffolk, our studio offers complete privacy, climate control, and professional lighting. It's the ideal setting for intimate portraits, and you won't have to drive far — it's your neighborhood studio.
Sleepy Hole Park offers breathtaking golden hour light along the Nansemond River. The tall grasses and waterfront views create a dreamy, romantic backdrop. Plan to arrive about 90 minutes before sunset for the best light.
Historic downtown Suffolk around Main Street and Constant's Wharf provides charming brick buildings, tree-lined sidewalks, and a small-town aesthetic that adds warmth and character to your portraits.
Suffolk's expansive farmland offers a unique backdrop you won't find in other Hampton Roads cities. Open fields, rustic fences, and pastoral landscapes create stunning, one-of-a-kind maternity images.
Bring your own outfits — we encourage it! We also provide tulle robes with the color customized in post-production. For outdoor Suffolk sessions, flowing fabrics in earthy tones complement the natural surroundings beautifully.
