Hampton Roads Holiday Photos – limited sessions available now

Hampton Roads Holiday Photos

It’s that time of year. Autumn breeze is blowing the scent of pumpkin spice through the air. If you try really hard, you can almost hear jingle bells. Well, maybe if you try really, really hard, that is.

The point is that the holidays are upon us! If you are like me, you want to get a head start this year so that you can actually enjoy the family and friend gatherings ahead. One easy way to beat the crowds is to have your holiday photos taken now. Once December rolls around, it could be too late to get your photos back in time for holiday sharing. Certainly, you will want to avoid higher shipping fees and rush fees at some of those impersonal retail photo places. Why put yourself through all of that stress?

Amanda Stewart Photography has several smart options for your best holiday family photos.

For the whole family: Book a limited Tree Farm Mini sessions and you will receive your images in plenty of time for holiday cards and gifts. See this link for more information: Hampton Roads Holiday Photo Specials

For kids only: Special in-studio Holiday Photo Mini Sessions. Find more info here: Hampton Roads Kids Holiday Photos

Amanda Stewart Photography holiday sessions capture your family in a comfortable way. You will not be rushed- like those folks at the mall. Your children won’t be forced into any awkward poses. Your family will have a great experience that will shine through in your finished photos.

The photos of your family should be cherished for a lifetime, not obsolete the moment January rolls around. Your photos will feature the personality and love in your family. I take pride in all of my work, holiday or not, and treat each image as if it were my own.

So, if you are looking for a photographer you can believe in this holiday season, contact me at the link, and let’s set up your Hampton Roads Holiday Photos session: Contact Amanda Stewart Photography

Cake Smash Hampton Roads | Amanda Stewart Photography

August 20, 2018

The first birthday is an important milestone in any child’s life. This day, your baby is no longer an infant. Soon, people will start referring to your “toddler.” No matter how excited you are to see them grow, and proud that you yourself made through these first twelve months, the first birthday is a little bittersweet.

This is a major moment we want to remember- our little one smiling, laughing, and celebrating life with pure joy. Catching photos of your child while trying to organize and enjoy their first party is incredibly difficult. And, while these family photos are still great to have, a dedicated Cake Smash session ensures you don’t miss a moment or memory of this incredible milestone 1st birthday.

Cake Smash Hampton Roads with Amanda Stewart Photography

Amanda Stewart Photography’s Cake Smash Session includes a custom-themed set or backdrop and a coordinating professionally designed smash cake. The experience is fun-filled and you don’t have to worry about cleanup!

Often, first birthday and cake smash clients will have the portraits taken a few weeks early so that they may use the images for party invitations, announcements, or thank you cards. The delightful portraits make great gifts for family and friends.

Super Hero Theme | Chesapeake Virginia Cake Smash Photographer

August 9, 2018

Chesapeake Virginia Cake Smash Photographer, Amanda Stewart Photography, presents Elliot’s Super Hero Cake Smash.

When Elliot’s mom contacted Chesapeake Virginia cake smash photographer, Amanda Stewart Photography for his session, I was super excited. I have never done this theme at this time and was really looking forward to it. Mom sent a photo of Elliot’s adorable outfit and we went to work from there.

Balloon garland is a new favorite of mine and I really love how we incorporated it here with the comic book style Onomatopoeia.

What does every super hero theme need? A city skyline of course. Our cake designer Nicole and I really had fun incorporating the city into not only the backdrop but on the cake as well. Switching up the colors to really make them both POP. I love the cute little cake topper Nicole added with a different design for mer texture in our set.

Elliot was a picky and clean cake eater but he was smiley as can be.

After the cake smashing it was time for a little Amanda Stewart Photography bath time shoot. This is usually baby’s favorite part. Who doesn’t love some bubbles and rubber duckies
