About Gamboa Photos

Our photography started off as a hobby that later evolved into a photography service in the local Virginia Beach and Hampton Roads area.  We offer reasonable rates with our photography service to gain more experience, skill, constantly improve our portfolio, and to better our photography while at the same time enjoying this great form of art.  Officially starting in October 2007 we have been working with many local and out of state clients, models, actors, performers, and families for their photography needs.

We strive to become your everyday ‘one-stop’ photo solution. We’re with you from beginning to end. We are an honest, reliable, and dedicated team that provides customers the best service and experience possible. Since we are a team of two photographers you'll be able to experience both of our photography styles which in turn provide you with a broad selection of photographs.

We focus on fashion and commercial photography. We work with up and coming models and help them take their first steps into the modeling business by building their portfolio with high quality photos. We've worked with many new models and regardless of your experience in modeling, we are sure to provide you with high quality photos to complement your growing portfolio. We have been very successful in our photography and have even had two of our models recently signed with Splash Modeling!

We are very serious about what we do and enjoy having our clients have fun during their shoot. There is nothing worse than a shoot where no one is having fun. We're very open-minded and love what we do. We are very serious about what we do and enjoy having our clients have fun during their shoot.
