About

I am a wedding & lifestyle photographer living in Virginia Beach, Virginia. Always seen with coffee in my hands and finding any good reason to enjoy life with those I love.

Here is where weddings, family portraits, and events are all captured with a variety of documentation and prompt photography. I believe that the perfect mix of these styles help capture real and raw memories for all involved.

Amazing experience!

I can't speak highly enough of Tashena and her work! The quality of her work is amazing, we were blown away by both our engagement and wedding photos. Not only is she incredibly talented but she is an absolute joy to work with. Her warm personality helped us both feel at ease in front of the camera and her soothing words meant so much to me, helping me to relax on the wedding day. She is very responsive, replying with a thoughtful answer to all of my questions leading up to the wedding day and helped me feel at ease by working with me to create a relaxed-pace timeline for the day. Her photos speak for themselves, the photos are are gorgeous and really showcase her talents, but it's her genuine and kind nature as well as her professionalism and dedication to her craft that make her an exceptional photographer!

Amazing all around!

Not only did I have grad photos done, but I also had family photos done. The outcome of the photos were amazing, I couldn’t be happier with how the photos turned out. On top of this, Tashena made the moments comfortable and memorable. This was my first time getting photos professionally done and I would highly recommend this photographer to capture your special moments. She is so kind and passionate about capturing your moment and I truly couldn’t be happier with my experience. Thank you again!!

The BEST photographer EVER

Tashena was nothing but warm and professional from our first contact with her. We had a beautiful engagement session with her (included in the cost of booking our wedding) where we got to know her and get comfortable- so there was no awkwardness on our big day. She returns photos quickly and makes them super easy to download for yourself and your family. She is experienced with weddings and knows just what moments to capture, but also will make sure you feel prepared leading up to the day! She made everything seamless and easy, and most importantly, the photos turned out PHENOMENALLY!! I can't stop looking through the gallery, truly she is a master of her trade. I feel that she captured the day perfectly, but also the photos were authentic to our personalities as well, nothing felt forced. I could not recommend her enough! I am so looking forward to seeing her again for our 1-yr wedding anniversary photos next year as well!

Literally the Best

We are immeasurably grateful for the grace, kindness, and skill that Tashena brought to both our engagement photos and wedding day. She was present for both milestones and made us feel so comfortable and cared for. She was funny, witty, kept us confident and at ease, and we will look forward to future opportunities to captures special moments of our family. We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer and are thankful for the magic that Tashena was able to bring and capture to two of our biggest moments. She was also very reachable before, during, and after our events for any questions, last minute changes, or updates, and provided very prompt, polished, and beautiful photographs shortly after each. Hands down, a solid 11/10. Our day would not have been as special if not for Tashena!

Amazing experience!!

Tashena made the entire experience so much fun! My boyfriend and I have never taken professional photos before and Tashena was so helpful. Before the shoot, she answered all of my questions (even helped pick out my dress to wear)! Tashena is also very quick when it comes to responding to messages. During the shoot, Tashena was so kind - she eased all of our nerves through joking with us, helping us pose, and complimenting us. We left the shoot with HUGE smiles on our faces. We were so excited to see the photos! Tashena was quick to also get us all of our photos and they are WONDERFUL! I highly recommend using Tashena for all of your professional photos!

The BEST wedding photographer!!

If I could give 6/5 stars I would! Tashena was the best decision I made for my wedding day. Going into the day her communication is so responsive, helpful and clear. I knew when we did our engagement photos and got those back, that our wedding day photos were going to be even better than I dreamed and I was right! The day of, she flawlessly managed traveling to 3 different locations and was such a fun energy added to the day. Our family can be quite chaotic and she was amazing at rallying everyone and making sure we got the photos we wanted plus capturing the chaos in the most beautiful way! More than anything the candids are my favorite part, she captured the tears, the laughs and all the love of our day. Not to mention we had the most amazing sunset and she took full advantage which resulted in the most beautiful portraits. Book Tashena and you won’t regret it!

100000/10 Photographer

Tashena is the absolute best to work with. I have worked with her a handful of times prior to our wedding and hiring her for our wedding was the best decision. She is very good at communicating and answers quickly. She is so easy to work with and made our wedding day so fun and made taking photos not stressful. We will continue to work with her in the future and I highly recommend her!!!
