When we work together, I want your experience to be as natural and laid back as possible. I encourage my parents to play with their kids as if they were in their own backyard at home. Don’t worry, I make sure to grab a couple of those look at me smile “mantle poses,” but then I let the realness of life take over. I like to call these moments guided chaos because I want you to play, run, and tickle your kids so I can get the best shots of the moments you want to remember the most. I know what you are thinking… but what do I do with my hands? Don’t fret, I won’t leave you stranded and make sure that I am still giving you guidance along the way.
My outdoor sessions are typically held locally in the Hampton Roads area. I am a big fan of environmental textures that offer different types of grasses and flowers near the water and beautiful sunsets that truly capture that gold hour glow.
Here’s the juicy details you came for
Your family thrives off chaos
Hair gets messed up by the wind & you laugh
The in between imperfect moments in life are your favorite
You live for the feeling of sunshine on your skin &wind blowing through your kids hair
Your dress and your kid’s clothes get dirt on them and you shrug
Your favorite thing is to see your kids play with the elements of nature

"you will never regret having those memories time stamped for life"
“Dakota, Dakota, Dakota, I cannot thank you enough for being one of the kindest, truest, most sincere photographers I’ve had the chance to work with. Three years now you have put up with myself and my little chaotic fam bam (mainly Blake) and worked with every idea I’ve had. You’re truly a creative genius and am forever grateful to have those precious captured moments to save for the years to come. There is no better investment than getting our pictures done with Dakota. I promise you will never regret having those memories time stamped for life.” - The Mobly Family
