my philosophy

My approach to photography is all about capturing real, unposed moments.

 

Ashton Camargo Photography is a Virginia Beach–based family, couples, and maternity photographer dedicated to creating a stress-free and enjoyable photo experience.

I became a photographer because I know firsthand how overwhelming family photos can feel—from getting everyone ready to worrying about perfect poses. My goal is to take that stress off your shoulders and guide you every step of the way, so you can relax, be present, and enjoy the moment.

My style is a blend of candid moments and gently posed images, allowing space for natural connection while still ensuring you look and feel your best. Whether you’re celebrating your growing family, your love story, or this season of motherhood, I focus on capturing images that feel authentic, emotional, and timeless.

 

Parenthood is filled with irreplaceable moments that can slip away with time. I’m here to help you capture and keep them vivid.

Frequently asked questions

What if my kids don’t cooperate?

That’s completely okay—and very normal. My sessions are designed to be flexible and pressure-free. I embrace real moments and adjust as needed to keep things natural and fun.

Do you help with posing?

Yes. I provide gentle guidance and prompts while allowing space for candid moments. Nothing will feel stiff or forced—I’ll help you feel comfortable every step of the way.

Can I customize a photography package to fit all my needs?

Yes! Every family, couple, and maternity session is unique, and I want your experience to fit your needs perfectly. Whether you want a longer session, additional images, we can customize a package to suit your family, timeline, and vision.

Just reach out, and we’ll work together to create a session that captures your story exactly how you want it—stress-free and full of real, authentic moments.

How long does it take to receive the final photos?

Your fully edited, high-resolution images will be delivered within 2–3 weeks after your session. You’ll receive them through an online gallery with a print release, so you can download, share, and print your memories right away.
