Virginia Beach Summer Splash Pool Session

If I could bottle up the feeling of childhood summer and keep it forever, it would look exactly like this.
This adorable Summer Splash Session was filled with everything that makes summer magical- bright sorbet colors, endless giggles, pinwheels spinning in the sunshine, yellow striped pool floats, and plenty of splashing.

These sweet girlfriends spent the afternoon laughing, playing, and making memories together, and it was a joy to document every moment.

There was no pressure to sit still or smile at the camera. Instead, they got to simply be crazy kids. It totally feels like a 90’s summer to me!

Don’t these photos look like a page out of a classic summer storybook?

As a family photographer in Virginia Beach, I love creating sessions that focus on connection and experience rather than perfect poses. These Summer Splash Sessions are a wonderful alternative to traditional portraits and preserve the fleeting magic of childhood summers- the wet hair, the shrieks of laughter, the endless games, and the simple joy of being together. Another benefit for families with little ones? These photos were taken at 11am! So much easier than having to push back bedtime for a sunset beach session!

Because one day, these little girls won’t spend entire afternoons splashing in the pool with their, but these photos will always bring me back to exactly how summer felt.

If you’re looking for a Virginia Beach family photographer and love the idea of playful, joy-filled summer photos, I’d love to help you document your family’s story. My friend graciously offered her gorgeous backyard (the one pictured in these photos!) for a very limited number of sessions this summer. So, if you love these images but don’t have a backyard pool of your own, here’s your chance! Reach out now and we’ll start planning your summer splash session!
