Portrait Photographers in Staunton, VA

Hey there, I’m Amelia! I am a local Charlottesville photographer. I am always willing to travel outside of Charlottesville though! I love photography and meeting new people. I specialize in weddings, surprise proposals, and family photography. If you are interested in wedding photography please inquire through my website. I always strive to make my clients feel comfortable and confident when capturing their wedding day or taking photos of them and their loved ones. My goal is to make your time with me as stress free as possible and send you an incredible gallery capturing genuine moments.

Hi, I am Grace! I am a Charlottesville native with a passion for capturing life’s precious moments. I picked up the camera roughly five years ago, and have been following my dreams of becoming a full-time portrait photographer ever since. I was born with Mild Cerebral Palsy, so I know what it is like to have challenges. I fell in love with photography because it allows me to express who I am fully, overcoming those physical challenges. Behind the lens, I truly feel free. I’m able to capture the beauty I see within us as human beings. I truly get to connect with everyone I work with, and there is not a more rewarding feeling than that.

From a young age, I have always loved connecting and building relationships with others. As someone who has struggled with my own insecurities, I strive to use my passion to help others feel and value their true natural beauty. I aim to do this by making my clients feel comfortable and valued through our time working together. If you'd like to inquire about a session, please consider emailing me first instead of matching the lead, as thumbtack does charge for each one! Thank you! 😊

I have my own aesthetic when it comes to portrait photography. Rather than taking generic photos that everyone expects, I aim to collaborate closely with my clients and co-create moments that feel personal and meaningful. I have experience shooting a wide range of sessions, including wedding coverage, solo portraits, couple and best friend shoots, and graduation photos. My style is emotionally expressive yet timeless. I shoot with Fujifilm cameras, known for their unique film-like color profiles that elevate every image with a cinematic feel. If you’re looking for a photographer who values connection and creativity as much as composition, I’d love to work with you.

Hi there, i'm Naomi! I've been a photographer for many years and have been professionally shooting for four. Photography was my minor in university. I shoot both film and digital; film being my favorite. My photographs are moody, rich, and storybook-esque. People describe my work as fine-arts. I'm not a conventional photographer and I choose visual interest and vulnerability over the current photography trends. I view photography as a way to glorify God's handiwork in nature and in people. If you are looking for a relaxed and authentic experience, please send me a message! When I'm not photographing Appalachia on film, I like to wander through museum corridors, read gothic literature, write letters, be outside near trees and water, and visit with friends.
