Santa is returning to our studio!

It's time to sign up to see SANTA at our studio! Avoid long lines and rushed visits; our Santa sessions are by appointment and last about 15 minutes, plenty of time for children to visit with Santa and tell him what they want for Christmas! Still $50 to schedule and that includes one 5x7, or the value of the 5x7 can be applied to larger prints, digital files, or other products. First up is Santa Jamie with the classic fireplace set on November 22nd, December 6th, and December 13th: tinyurl.com/santafireplace 

And then Santa Joe will be back with Santa's Workshop on November 29th: tinyurl.com/workshopsanta

Santa sessions take place at our studio, located at 768 Settlers Landing Rd, Hampton Va. We'll see you there!

5 tips for your maternity portrait session

Congratulations! You have a baby on the way and you want to book a maternity session; here are 5 tips for getting exactly what you want!

1. The best time to do your maternity portraits is when you are about 7-8 months pregnant; big enough to be showing well but not so big that you feel uncomfortable!

2. Do you want your partner or your other children in the session or do you want to just celebrate you and this pregnancy? There's no wrong answer!

3. Ask photographers that you are considering if they have a "client closet" for you to choose from. Here at Anne Companion Photography we have a wide selection for you to wear at your session and encourage you to schedule a consultation to try some on! https://www.annecompanionphotography.com/post/we-have-gowns-for-your-maternity-portraits-updated-8-23

4. Think about whether you would like to do your portrait session in a studio or outdoors. Look at photographers' portfolios and see what you prefer.

5. Remember to have fun! This is a time unlike any other in your life and you should enjoy every moment of your portrait session.
