Leigh Skaggs Photography

I am a wedding and portrait photographer in Hampton Roads Virginia.

Chesapeake Family Portrait Photographer ~The Ewell Family~

When I met with Rob, Jill, Alden and Taylor in Chesapeake at Oak Grove Lake Park, they told me they hadn’t had a Family portrait done since Alden was a baby.  They said that getting their photo taken was like going to the Doctor’s office.  Torture!  Oh NO, I thought!   This can’t be true!  This gorgeous family, who knows how to work a camera, hates to be photographed???   Travesty!!  But to be completely honest, I totally understand!  I HATE to have my photo taken.  Absolutely HATE it.  I feel much more at ease on the other side of the camera, directing and helping others to bring out their inner model.  And let me tell you, the Ewell family, has 4 inner model’s!  Check out how beautiful they all are!!
