Wow, how is it already the last day of 2019? I’m sure I’m not the only one saying how fast this year went, but man, it really went by fast! One of the reasons is because we have a 2 year old that keeps us very busy all.the.time, but another reason is because of our […]

For the second year in a row, Rowlands Photography hosted Christmas tree farm mini sessions and we had a great time! Last year, we hosted at a tree farm in Suffolk, but this year we hosted the sessions at Historic Greenbrier Farms in Chesapeake and we loved it! Sixteen families came out over 2 days […]

It’s that time of year again where we share our favorite behind the scenes images from our 2019 wedding season! We can’t believe we’re only 2 weeks away from the end of the year! 2019 was a whirlwind for us, even though we took on less weddings this year. Somehow, the year still flew by […]

What an honor it was to capture this beautiful in home newborn session for the Collier Family! Katelyn & Jimmy are past clients of ours and it feels like just yesterday we were photographing their beautiful Woman’s Club of Portsmouth wedding. It’s been three years since their wedding day and they (finally!) introduced their newest […]

When Haley reached out to us about doing their Chesapeake couples session, we were so excited!

We are so excited to be sharing this sweet, golden hour, Suffolk engagement session on the blog today because it’s one of our favorites we’ve done this year!

When Cristen & CJ brought up the idea of going to a local park that they frequented throughout their relationship, we were all for it. Lone Star Lakes Park in Suffolk, VA proved to be the perfect backdrop for their sweet engagement session and it was all but deserted the day of the session, which […]

There’s just something about the Pagoda Gardens and Freemason District of Norfolk that is stunning year round. No matter the weather, it seems there is always something alive and blooming which makes doing photoshoots later in the year here extra easy. We loved this Norfolk Freemason engagement session with Tiffiny & Alex and had a […]

This beautiful Shifting Sands Navy wedding was definitely a favorite for us. Heather & Cody’s wedding day was absolutely beautiful from start to finish. Not only was the weather perfect and their portraits turned out phenomenal, but the the union of these two souls was so beautiful to witness. Heather & Cody had been excitedly […]
