I AM a Portrait PHOTOGRAPHER and a STORYTELLER

I photograph high school senior portraits, teens struggling with self-confidence and children's magical fairytale portraits. Through custom photography, I can tell each person's story in a unique and authentically beautiful way.

At Storybook Studios, we believe portraits are more than photographs—they’re an artistic expression of your story. We’re proud to be Virginia’s most distinctive portrait photography studio, offering something no one else does: fully customized sessions that capture your personality, your passions, and your interests—your story, told beautifully.

Class of 2026 Senior Portraits

Senior year isn’t just a milestone—it’s the chapter your teen will tell for the rest of their life. 📖✨

At Storybook Studios here in Chesapeake, VA, we don’t just take senior pictures—we create an experience that feels like them. From the first idea to the final image, every detail is tailored to their personality, passions, and style.

We work with all kinds of seniors—including those who are autistic, ADHD, or otherwise neurodivergent—making sure every session feels comfortable, encouraging, and fun.

Whether they’re dreaming up a bold, styled look or something soft, simple, and timeless, we make each session a space where they can truly be themselves—while moms get to enjoy watching it all unfold.
