20 years as a photographer in Hampton Va!

This month marks 20 years since I started Anne Companion Photography! I still remember how nervous I was to walk into the City of Hampton's offices and ask for a business license. I'd been wanting to be official for awhile but taking that step made it real! I started out completely on-location, then in 2009 got my first studio. Three years later I moved to Kings Way, then in 2024 I moved to my current location at 768 Settlers Landing Rd. What a ride! And if you're still reading, congratulations, you get to learn about the special I'm offering, 20% off all regular session pricing this month. How does it work? Pay the session fee by September 30th and the session can take place anytime from now through the end of December. This special is good for babies, kids, families, pets, high school seniors, all of my regular session types! This cannot be used at the Halloween food drive, on Santa sessions, or toward holiday mini-sessions because those are already discounted! Ready to book your session? Fill out the contact form on this page or e-mail info@annecompanionphotography.com!

"What kind of photography do you do?"

I get asked this question fairly often when people find out I am a photographer, and it's usually followed up with (or preceded by) "like, w*ddings and stuff?" That's right, I am not even typing out the w word because I don't want any algorithms pointing to me for those! No, I don't photograph w*ddings; I have done a few over the year but the combination of stress and being on my feet all day is too much for me (I have some pretty significant knee and back issues). So no to those. So what DO I photograph? Well, people and pets (just not at that aforementioned event)! Some photographers do specialize further than that, but I am happy to photograph people of all ages, and pets too, with or without their people. I do particularly love photographing newborns but I welcome every other age too, from maternity to kids, to high school seniors, families, boudoir, and business headshots. Yes, it's a lot of variety! But each brings it's own creativity and joys and I'm happy to photograph them all. So take a look at my range! And come see me at my photography studio in Hampton Va. :)

The Dog (and Cat) Days of Summer are returning soon!
