Sessions
I prefer to work during the golden hours (hour before sunset or after sunrise). This way we are not confined to the shadows and have plenty of space with dreamy light to move around in.
I like for the sessions to evolve naturally at their own pace. They tend to last around 2 hours. Locations include any place where you feel at home and comfortable: in the park where you met, snuggled in bed with loved ones reading a bed time story, laughing around the dinner table, or on the playground. It's up to you. I will spend time carefully editing each photograph individually to create the final feel and look of your story. Your session includes digital negatives. Web ready versions for sharing online, and high resolution copies for printing. You will also receive a printing guide with your photos. Unfortunately, there are a few limitations when choosing my services. I do not photograph large weddings, nor hold sessions on the beach. At this time locations are limited to areas in and around Jacksonville Florida. |

TESTIMONIALS:
Shantelle- "My son had a shoot with Chay Hastings on 9/13/2011 on his 1st birthday at a park. I was really pleased with her patience because all he wanted to do was play with the other kids of course. But Chay followed him everywhere, on the ground, squatting under playground equipment, etc. He also kept going back to this one particular spot, but Chay managed to make each photo unique. My son became cranky towards the end but she hung in there and didn't complain once. It took her no time to edit the photos. Each picture was more than what I expected. For this being such a big milestone in my son's life, I'm glad we went to Chay who was able to capture every smile, step, funny face, and even some tears during this special moment. I'll cherish these photos forever. I HIGHLY recommend Chay Hastings Photography."
Kristen- "My family's session with Chay was almost ruined by bad weather. Chay was super patient and willing to work with my family to find an indoor location. She also offered to reschedule at no extra cost. I was very impressed with her professionalism and the product she delivered. She had previews up for my family to view within a day and had the finished CD with images mailed to me within a week or so. I will definitely be using Chay in the future for more family photos. The photos were fun and relaxed and absolutely beautiful! We love you, Chay!"
Lindsay- "Chay was the best! When you've never had your photos taken it's really intimidating to know what you should and shouldn't be doing. Thankfully, Mrs. Hastings was there with suggestions and professional input to get the best results. Our photos turned out amazing! They actually exceeded my expectations of photography. What stands out the most is how the photos look when she's finished. The different styles of shooting and the different filters on the images are just beautiful. I would recommend Chay Hastings Photography to anyone in Jacksonville, Florida who needs or wants a photo session. If you want a photographer who will do more than just point and click - You need to call CHP."
Cristina-"I thoroughly enjoyed my session with Chay Hastings Photography, and I would definitely recommend her. My boyfriend and I did a couple's shoot at the park, and though we felt awkward at first, Chay made us feel relaxed and made the session fun! She's very sweet and lets you "be yourself" while she observes and takes pictures. They turned out so beautiful!"
Lauren-"I absolutely loved my pictures and experience with Chay Hastings Photography. Chay was great with my daughter even though my daughter was having a “princess" day and managed to get some of the best photos I’ve seen. These are wonderful family pictures that I can treasure and that is all thanks to Chay. I have recommended Chay to several friends and would highly recommend her to anybody that asks."
