| the experience

When we work together, it's not just about pretty pictures. It's about telling your story. I want to know who you are, what makes you laugh, and all the little things that make your life uniquely yours.

I'll be part fly on the wall, part new friend with a camera, capturing the beautifully imperfect moments as they unfold. Will we get a few of those classic, everyone-looking-at-the-camera shots? Absolutely! But I'm really here for the stolen glances, belly laughs, wild kiddos, and all those little in-between moments.

I thrive outdoors! Give me a barn, a field, a mountaintop, or a backyard full of chaos, and I'm in my element. Whether it's your wedding day or an ordinary afternoon with your favorite people, I want you to feel comfortable, have fun, and simply be yourselves.

I'll offer a little direction when you need it and step back when the magic happens naturally. No pressure to be perfect, no need to have it all together. Just you, your people, and the moments that make your story yours.

Because at the end of the day, I want you to have more than beautiful photographs. I want you to have memories that bring you right back to how it all felt.

They aren't just photos —
they're your story

You feel most at home outside. Bonus points for bare feet and dirty shoes!

You'd rather embrace a little chaos than stress over everything being picture-perfect.

You want the candid, unposed moments, but also appreciate someone telling you what the heck to do with your hands.

You are an animal lover, bonus if you bring home strays

You care more about how it felt than how perfect it looked

LOVE NOTES

"We were super nervous about being in front of the camera but somehow Keegan worked her magic and made us feel sooo comfortable in front of the camera. On our wedding day she made sure we had everything we needed and made our experience stress free and enjoyable. Our photos turned out amazing and we’re seriously so glad we had her there. We can’t recommend her enough!"

-Emma and Mark

"From the moment we first reached out to Keegan she was personable, quick to respond, and incredibly professional. Her communication style put us at ease throughout the entire wedding planning process. On the day of our wedding, her team went above and beyond to make sure every guest felt comfortable and captured all the special moments seamlessly. Her work is truly exceptional, and we are thrilled with the beautiful photos that perfectly encapsulate our special day. We highly recommend Keegan Pykiet Photography to any couple looking for an exceptional photography experience."

- Jenna and Ryan

"From the start Keegan made us feel so comfortable and genuinely seen. She has such a calming presence and a real gift for helping you feel completely yourself in front of the camera. She's not only professional, but also so fun and easy to be around. We honestly felt like we had a friend by our side the entire day. She captured everything so beautifully and went above and beyond in every way. We are beyond happy with our photos and can’t stop looking at them. We seriously can’t recommend her enough for your engagement and your wedding. You will not regret it. She is simply the best.

Where are you located?

I am located in the Hampton Roads, VA but am frequently in Culpepper, VA and Potomac, MD.

How many images are included?

Every session and wedding is a little different, so the number of images varies depending on your collection and the time we spend together. I focus on delivering a thoughtfully edited gallery that tells your story, rather than hitting an arbitrary number.

Do you give out RAW (unedited) photos?

I do not deliver RAW images, when you hire me as your photographer you are also hiring me as your photo editor!

How does payment work?

I require a non-refundable deposit to book your date/session and the remainder is due before your date/session. We chat more about this when you reach out :)

How do I book you?

Reach out to me by filling out my inquiry form found on my "book me" tab!

What happens if my kids don't cooperate during our session?

First of all, I've got two little girls of my own, so trust me when I say I get it! Kids are going to be kids, and that's part of the magic. We'll take breaks, play games, embrace the silliness, and let them be themselves. Some of my favorite photographs come from those beautifully unpredictable moments.

What if we cancel/reschedule our date?

If you need to cancel your session, you’ll receive a full refund minus the non-refundable retainer (see contract for details). If you’re rescheduling, I’ll do everything I can to be there — but if I’m already booked, I’ll make sure one of my trusted associates takes great care of you!

What happens if you can't photograph our wedding/session?

While I take every precaution to ensure I'm there for your big day, life can occasionally throw us a curveball. In the unlikely event that I'm unable to attend, I'll follow the contingency and refund provisions outlined in your contract and do my best to help you find a trusted replacement photographer.

What happens if the weather is bad?

If the weather is bad we have a few options! We can find an alternative location, take photos in the rain (woohoo), or we can reschedule for a different day! Don't worry, we will figure it out together :)

Will you photoshop us?

I’ll do basic editing to enhance your photos, like removing a pimple or a scratch. However, I don’t do major alterations, like adjusting weight or changing eye color. My goal is to highlight the real you!

What do we wear to our photoshoot?

When you inquire and set up a session with me I will include an outfit guide with more details but general rule of thumb is to coordinate, be comfortable,  and wear neutral or earthy tones.

How do travel expenses work?

There are no travel fees for 50 miles within Norfolk, VA. If I am in Culpepper, VA or Potomac, MD during the time of your session the same applies for those! Otherwise, I just ask that you pay for travel fees and lodging if necessary

Do you offer discounts?

I offer a 5% discount to military couples! I also offer a discount for returning couples so if you do an engagement shoot with me you get a discount for your wedding package!

What is your turnaround time?

For couples or engagement sessions you will have your photos no later than 4 weeks. For weddings you will have your photos no later than 6 weeks from your day!

Do you help in the planning process?

HECK YES I DO! As much help as you need, I am here!
