When planning for your family photos in Virginia Beach, you’ve likely heard of photographers offering professional hair and makeup as an included service. There are many benefits of professional hair and makeup for family photos, including a boost of confidence that shines through in your images with your family!

As a Virginia Beach family photographer, I take care of so many small details so my clients can enjoy the BIG PICTURE. One of the main components of a stress-free family portrait experience is professional hair and makeup for Moms on their family photo session day!

The heart of my business, Chelsey Kraus Photography, is to serve busy Mommas who are usually busy serving their families. This is so you can actually ENJOY your family portrait experience. Let’s dive into the benefits of professional hair and makeup for family photos in Virginia Beach.

5 Benefits of Professional Hair & Makeup for Family Photos

One of the highlights of my signature family session experience is offering complimentary professional hair and makeup services on the session day for Mom!

There are a LOT of great reasons why I feel professional hair & makeup is an important way to be able to enjoy a stress-free photo experience, so here are some more of the reasons why I include this service with my signature portrait sessions:

Start Your Day By Relaxing

Consider this your zen moment to start the day off right. Kick your feet up and relax while someone else pampers you, since you are usually the one pampering everyone else. 

Convenience

The artists can travel to you, or you can meet them at their Virginia Beach studio. The convenience of sipping your coffee at home while feeding your newborn baby, or the freedom of venturing out in town to go to a studio, away from the thoughts of unfolded laundry and dishes in the sink. The choice is yours!

Professional Looking Results

Having an artist’s touch to ensure your makeup and hairstyle will stand up to the elements of heat, wind, and humidity, and not having to second-guess if you applied your lashes correctly.

Stay On Schedule 

No need to second-guess your timing on when to start getting ready! Your artists and photographer will ensure the day flows smoothly and there is a timeline in place so you can have a fun, stress-free day and an enjoyable portrait experience! 

Natural Confidence

Your natural beauty will be highlighted, and we will make sure you LOVE your makeup and hairstyle so your confidence can shine through to your printed portraits.

Family Photoshoot Tips for Busy Mothers

Moms are SUPERHEROS!

Most of the time, Moms will spend the morning of a family photo session running around, prepping the last-minute details. Like buying your Hubby a new undershirt from Target, restocking snacks and essentials in the diaper bag, and packing the toddler’s shoes and pajamas for after the session… 

Consider this your excuse to finally get pampered. Your ZEN moment and the moment in time where you finally get to kick your feet up and relax. All while you let someone else take care of YOU. The artists I work with will ensure your natural beauty shines through and is enhanced. You will still look like yourself and carry that confidence right into your portrait session. 

You deserve to be pampered, Mom!
