Newborn Photography In Home vs In studio| Jacki G. Photography LLC | Family & Newborn Photographer | Richmond,

When you first find out you are pregnant it feels like you have all the time in the world. You’re careful not to start buying things too early and wait longingly for each scan to see that little face. And then, in a flash 9 months has passed and your baby is here. A great way to capture those early moments to remember forever is with a Newborn Photo shoot.

I used to be know as the In home newborn photographer. As of this year, I want to make the switch to in studio newborn photography. I used to bring the studio to your home but since I have gotten older 51 yrs and had a surgery late last year it just isn’t feasible for me to travel like I used to. I’ve been in business for over 11 yrs. I have photographed hundreds of newborns, babies and families and I think its time to make the switch. I can still come to your home but the price will be different. I will still offer on location outside photography.

In home sessions are going to be more expensive than studio sessions. Your photographer needs to plan and gather all of the appropriate props, pack up all of her equipment, travel to your home, set up the equipment, break down and pack up the equipment again, travel back and then unload the equipment and props again. She also needs to be skilled to handle different lighting scenarios and be able to work around other obstacles a studio photographer does not have to encounter.

A studio photoshoot gives your the opportunity to relax for a few hrs. There is no need to worry whether your home is clean. You just need to get yourself to the photographers home studio and remember to take anything you’d like to include in your images. I have a wide variety of props, outfits and wraps for a newborn that are all sanitized and cleaned after each session.

My home studio is cleaned and sanitized after each session. I have a large prop collection you could choose from if you decide to change your mind during your session. The lighting is consistent and we don’t have to worry about moving furniture and taping up your windows. I have a few games the siblings could play or an echo view they could be entertained after we have photographed them with the new baby or a parent could take them to daycare.

I will still offer lifestyle newborn photography but that is not my specialty I have many years training and have gone to conferences as well as 1:1 mentoring with the top newborn photographers in the US.

I have photographed maternity, newborns, and babies up to one year old and beyond n my studio. I have many backdrops for families and the littles one to choose from as well as burp cloths and more at my home studio.

I look forward to working with you in 2023!
