VIRGINIA - Hampton Roads, Tidewater or Surrounding Areas. I'm an on-location photographer. I love shooting in locations that have a variety of backgrounds to choose from. Anything with texture! Open fields, beaches, trees, and old buildings. When you book your session you can specify your preference or I'll be happy to suggest some great options.

Yes, absolutely! It's $80 per extra 15mns.

I'm a lover of all things NIKON and SIGMA ART lenses!

No, but I highly recommend it. Vickie Carper Photography & Creative Design is not liable for print quality, cropping or coloring of any photos not printed directly through my professional lab. Photo quality is ONLY guaranteed through photos purchased directly through me and my lab.

YES! I love them. However, you will have to provide your own cake.

No, other than weddings I do not photograph events.

Yes, as long as my schedule would allow it.

It depends! I do several sessions in the OBX every summer. I travel to Williamsburg and Richmond areas. Travel fees vary depending on location.

To make a great image clothing is very important. Wearing layers as much as possible adds texture and interest.

For family sessions the key is to coordinate but not look like clones. You can’t go wrong when you pick no more than three colors and stick to them throughout the entire family. Don’t look “matchy-matchy” meaning, everyone in the family should NOT wear the same color blue shirt and tan pants. If those are the colors you like, then mix it up by varying the shade of blue. Some members can wear blue for their pants while others wear it as the shirt or vest.

Add a third color for that extra pop throughout, like a maroon scarf, vest, hat or boots. It really pulls the whole look together.

Remember to accessorize! Red high heels, jewelry, jackets, scarves, hats, etc. Adding these simple items to your wardrobe will make your photographs pop.

Avoid clothing with large logos, tv characters, etc. as it will only distract from the beauty of the subject.

If you have your images printed through another lab they will need my print release. It will grant you permission for personal reproduction of your photos. Copyright is retained and not released by this agreement.
