Family Portrait Photography Sessions
Photography Sessions of all types are frequently done in the studio and on location ranging from maternity and newborn sessions to family and senior sessions along the awesome beaches of Virginia and North Carolina.
Family Portrait sessions are never rushed whether in-studio or on location. We feel that the best images are the ones captured in a relaxed and happy environment. Natural relaxed expressions are always the best and will be cherished for a lifetime.
Face it we all remember growing up as kids and being dragged to JC Penny’s photo studio, Walmart or any Professional portrait studio for the dreaded family portraits. Why did we hate them so much, simply because they were boring to us as kids.
None of us At RGB Imaging feel that it should be boring to the children. Yes, we do formal family portraits all the time but rarely do we do them in the studio. Most of them are done on location with the rest of a lifestyle family session.
What to do on a family photoshoot….. Virginia Beach Style
Go to the beach

Take a hike in the woods
Our area of Virginia has some of the best hiking areas in town. From woodlands to marsh and beach areas, there is the scenery for all to enjoy year-round. Depending on the restrictions of your family, we a very familiar with the areas and can recommend an excellent location for the background you wish.
Bring the dogs
By all means, bring the family pet. They are part of your family as well and should be honored forever as being a loyal companion. Dogs make for great impromptu moments even if they have a mind of their own sometimes.
Wear matching outfits or don’t…
There is something to be said about a family that matches. Equally, let the kids dress themselves and be spontaneous. Or you can meet in the middle and compliment each other the choice is yours.
Enjoy the sunset
Nothing is more beautiful on the Virginia shore than the sunset’s. Yes, you can get unobstructed views of the sunset here. We know the best places to do this, whether you want a wide-open field or a beach setting.

Blow bubbles

By getting to know your children, for example, will allow them to be a bit more relaxed around the new person and in turn, provide better photos.
