Hi, I am Chantel Lorayne

I can't wait to Meet you

Photographer, Chantel Lorayne leans against a white brick wall holding a camera outdoors.

I’m your central Virginia-based creative with an appreciation for life in candid. I'm drawn to the joy of making memories and the warmth in reliving them. From the original Polaroid, to my favorite phone camera, and now, my Canon, I've crafted an eye for moments that inspire you forward. As a travel photographer, based in the Richmond, Ashland, and Fredericksburg, Virginia regions, I thrive in helping others be fully present. My approach is to provide space to breathe, and give in to all the senses that make moments memorable. Here's to the memories that incite wonder, invite tears, and revive joy. Every story is unique. Let's capture yours!

"How wonderful to be who I am, made out of earth and water, my own thoughts, my own fingerprints — all that glorious, temporary stuff."
