"The photos they've taken for our family are truly treasures that I'm so grateful to have. They are a laid back and easy-going team. We are repeat customers who will be back again."  -Kendra

Thank you for your consideration! We would love to capture your family's portraits and we do our best to work with all budgets. We often book up several months in advance so please contact us as soon as possible to guarantee session availability. Occasionally we're able to squeeze in last minute sessions, so if your desired date is just around the corner or you have already welcomed your sweet new baby, please don't hesitate to contact us. Feel free to ask any questions you have or about our current specials and don't be shy about using the chat below to speak directly to us! We would love to talk more with you to personalize the perfect session for you and your family. To book your session, we require a $100 retainer fee which includes your session time, editing of images, dress rental (for maternity or newborn moms) and a personalized viewing & ordering session. We do not require a minimum order. Please email for more detailed pricing information - info@jbgriffinphotography.com 

MATERNITY & NEWBORN SESSIONS

"Amazing! Looking through the proofs of my little one's newborn session brought tears to my eyes! Very talented and professional photographers!" -Katie

The best time to book your maternity and/or newborn session is as soon as you decide you'd like to shoot with us! We book up quickly! We strongly recommend booking at least 6-8 weeks in advance. If you have already had your baby, please contact us and we can try to squeeze you in, depending on our schedule that week.

Maternity sessions are scheduled between 32-35 weeks along, unless otherwise requested. We have maternity gowns, dresses and other attire here that you may choose to use for your session. For newborns, we note your due date on our calendar to ensure we don't overbook around that time. Once your little one arrives, please let us know as soon as possible and we'll schedule a session. It's best to shoot within baby's first two weeks. This is rather important, as the older they are, the more difficult it is to get some of our typical newborn poses.  

Newborn sessions average 2-3 hours. This allows for plenty of time for nursing, changing and cuddling between shots. We keep the studio quite warm and have white noise playing. It's not uncommon for new (sleep-deprived) parents to fall asleep during their little one's session. ;) You can feel at ease knowing that your baby is safe and feel free to bring a magazine or book and relax for a few hours.

We offer a variety of props for your maternity and newborn session - wraps, baskets, blankets, headbands, hats, etc. and you are welcome to bring along any ideas you may have. We will send a list of suggestions with your booking.

FAMILY SESSIONS

"Best photographer in virginia beach! I wish I was still there so I could have more pictures taken!" - Kristin

We have made maternity & newborn portraits our specialty for over 10 years, but we still LOVE our families! We recommend family portraits take place outdoors. It tends to be less stress on your family and allows for more interaction between everyone. The kids enjoy it more than sitting in one specific place for studio portraits. We like our family sessions to be stress free and lots of fun! If weather does not permit or you would prefer, we can certainly make your portraits in the studio.
