Growth of a family!

Time has definitely flown by within our company and especially with our clients, which we always say that we consider as a part of the family! The Zepeda’s have definitely been with us and one of the longer clients we have had, especially with all the special sessions we have had with them. It is such an amazing journey to see their growth as individuals, a couple, and now a growing family. Our first session with them was their engagement which we were able to get to know them and the love story that they have made. Then we were able to create long-lasting memories of their beautiful wedding. Of course, we could not go without capturing their next big moment which was the maternity session, and now Mr. and Mrs. Zepeda’s son Carter’s first birthday! It was pure, love, and affection with their family on this day for the session. Such a beautiful family that we love to keep in touch with, and see their life bloom into what they wanted. Their Family are not only our clients but we definitely are one of theirs because we love the food at the restaurant their restaurant, El Ray 2 in Norfolk. Such a strong duo as they support one another in their goals, and we cannot wait to see what we can capture in the future. It is all love, laughter, and life! So Happy Birthday to one-year-old Carter, and may you have many more amazing birthdays to come! And once again, thank you so much again to the Zepeda family for allowing us to feel like we are apart of theirs!

Much Love,

From the Creative Impressions Team!

Capturing The Future

Something that we take great pride in with our company is sharing Americas future. And that comes along with capturing the biggest moments of our youth and them successfully stepping up to the next phase in their lives no matter what they choose. We are so excited to see every Senior we build a rapport with, move on to their aspirations, whether it is college, a trade, or anything else that will make a change. They all are so excited to move on, and graduate from high school. We have had photoshoots with seniors who want to be fashion designers, photographers, nurses, and so much more. This really is our future, and we are happy to know they trust us with their last set of school photo sessions. We love to have a senior program, and definitely if you are interested, message us and find out more! But a big congrats to all of our previous graduates! May you follow your dreams, and let all of life’s lessons lead you to all the happiness that you should be rewarded with!

Becoming Rivera

Life isn’t about what you accumulate, it’s about the experience you have as you grow. Love is one of the most magical things that we experience. We recently had a chance to experience it first hand with this AMAZING couple, Erica Moyler and Manuel Rivera Jr.

Erica and Manuel have known each other since high school. Life pulled them in different directions, but upon meeting later in life they decided to date. Now fast forward to today, these two beautiful people plan to showcase their love for eachother in front of their friends and family in the upcoming year.

Congratulations from your Creative Impressions Photography Team!!!

Williams Wedding Day

When it comes to weddings, witnessing the love from all moments and perspectives, keep us going! With this wedding we were able to capture the pure bliss we had seen take place all night. Between this couple who has spent many years together loving each for all reasons, we were lucky to be apart of it, and even being apart of their family, literally. A simple elegance pulled everything together at the perfect location with family and friends. Thank you to the Williams, for allowing us to capture the beginning of your next chapter together. as husband and wife.

Newborn Baby Fever

Hello Everyone!

Can we talk about the most precious session to cover as a photographer? That is right you guys, it is a newborn session. It has been a significant amount of time since we were able to capture such innocence  through our lens. Especially with someone so small and beautiful! We could have spent all day with her if we could. This was a session with baby Epling, who we were able to not only freeze the memories of her parents' wedding, then we were able to cover her maternity photoshoot and lastly, baby Epling as a newborn. Could we be more honored, not at all. Let's just say she was completely an angel. No fussing, and just the sweetest while she napped the entire time. We were even able to see a smile as if she was dreaming of rainbows and butterflies! Thank you so much to her parents for becoming apart of our photography family, and we are ecstatic to have her apart as well. We are excited to see her as she grows and capture anymore sessions in the future. So enjoy this photo of pure innocence!

With Love,

Creative Impressions Team

Meet the Johnsons!

Like we have said in our last post we have definitely grown, and added more clients to our list. This amazing family actually were friends before they became our clients, and they were there from the start. It has been a pleasure to be able to take their family photos over the last couple years and watch their family grow in love and blessings. We were excited to finally be able to capture their youngest along with them, who was a complete angel during their session who was ready to cheese for the camera. We loved being able to capture the family with all reality, which kids are kids, and it is all Love! Mom and Dad gave all the kisses, and all the tickles to the kids which made it perfection. This is one more photoshoot down and many more to go! Thank you Johnson family for becoming a part of our client family as well!

5th Annual DIY Wedding Expo

We spent our afternoon at one of the most exciting events the Hampton Roads area has seen! 

Our team traveled to The Renaissance Hotel in Downtown Portsmouth to spend the day with a room filled with beautiful brides and handsome grooms. Packed with some of the best vendors in the area, these couples sought out those in the top of their field to help make their dream wedding possible. 

As a team, we enjoyed every moment of the day. Keep up the good work Hampton Roads!

New Projects for 2017

We know that we have not kept up with blogging and that is a change we are ready to commit to making in this new year. Let us start by saying Happy New Year to everyone and Happy Chinese New Year as well. 

We saw our company grow and become larger than we expected in 2016. We were able to work with a lot of amazing people and companies last year. It made us realize that we were making an impact in the local area.

Now the question is, How can we make a better impact on you?

Let us just start by announcing that we are making a few changes to our services and offering some things we tested out in 2016.

Firstly,  we are now offering an Elopement Package. This is great for couples having a small quaint wedding and would like images to capture the love of their day as well. Pricing will be updated on our page very soon.

Secondly, we are now offering a Photo Booth services as well. This option can be added to your current wedding package at a discounted rate or can be purchased separately. We tested this service over 2016 and it was a great hit at Parties, Events, and Weddings. Clients will have the options of purchasing unlimited 4x6 prints and even customized backdrops with carpets.

Our last update to our company is the offering of videography services. We have been toying with the idea for a while and it seems it is time to put it into play.  After reaching out to a few local videographers, we are able to offer this service at a very competitive price and still offer great service. 

We hope these changes make it easier on our clients planning events in the future. As we always ask them, please let us know what we can help with?

Have a Great Day!

Your Creative Impressions Team
