I'm addicted to taking genuine and emotive photographs of everything Motherhood related - Maternity, birth, breastfeeding, milestones, and families of all shapes and sizes. Capturing these unique moments in time is something that is incredibly important to me. I take a unique approach to each session, catered to each client's individual style and the result is candid and emotional portraits that will be cherished for generations to come.
Wall galleries designed just for your home, custom designed albums, gift prints for grandparents, digital images for sharing, and many unique portrait displays. Our studio collection includes the finest, handcrafted goods. You will swoon every time you see your beautiful portraits, and your little ones will have the very best baby books to grow up with--ones that proudly tell the story of their own family in fine art.

PLEASE READ IF YOU ARE CONSIDERING MATERNITY BY (AMBER) PHOTOS:
I originally worked with Emmalee in 2018 for my maternity photos and they were amazing , this was also in the original studio in Newport News. However, in 2020 I decided to use Purple Owl again for my second pregnancy and they at the time, had a new photographer (Amber). I am so disappointed in the 1. quality of images for the package I paid for, 2. the lack of responsively, 3. lack of professionalism, 4. the AC was not working and it was an extremely hot day, 5. It took me over 2 months nearly three

We did not have a good experience with an outdoor mini session. We used Purple Owl for our kids’ baby pictures and were really pleased with the studio portraits. Highly recommend! The outdoor session, however, produced not a single usable picture. We were all washed out, the colors were blown out, and we were positioned so awkwardly. We just were not captured in a flattering way. It was not professional work. In the future we will seek out other photographers to capture our family. Really disappointed that our time with Purple Owl ended like this.

We had our daughter's newborn photos taken by Julie at her Newport News location (she's like a baby whisperer) and her first year photos taken at Purple Owl's new studio in Virginia Beach. We appreciate Julie's inclusivity and her welcoming demeanor. The photos are always top notch quality.

Our experiences with Purple Owl Photography, particularly Julie have been terrific for my family. I've been a customer for ten years and there has never been anything less than perfection with our photos. Between family sessions and mini sessions and now with a newborn's session, we have many treasures that we'll cherish for the rest of our lives.

We were hesitant to take engagement photos or do custom photography, but I'm SO glad we did. Julie and Megan were amazing from the first email, to the shoot, to the follow-up. And most importantly, we were thrilled with the photos! They took their time to figure out what exactly we wanted, and the work was original and incredibly high quality
I'll definitely be coming back to Purple Owl when it's time for baby photos! In the meantime, I'll just stalk all their adorable baby photos on Facebook. :)

I have had great experiences with Purple Owl Photography. My family photos have always come out great and I have always been treated in a professional and courteous manner. Megan has been my photographer each time and she's always fun to work with and keeps communication open about what I'd like to do for the shoot. I will continue using this photography group again and would recommend to others.

Let me just start by saying how amazing and wonderful Julie and Megan are! Not only are their skills with a camera out of this world but they are extremely professional and personable. We started going to Purple Owl when my oldest was 3 months old and 4 years later we've been to them for newborn photos of my second, family photos and a multitude of milestones in between. These ladies take extra time and care to be sure that the experience is seamless and perfect. My son loves going to see "Miss Julie" and I honestly would not trust anyone else to capture and preserve my family memories.
