Bourdoir Maternity sessions| Jacki G. Photography LLC| Richmond, VA| Family & Newborn Photographer

Boudoir maternity sessions are becoming quite popular and for a good reason – they are AMAZING. It’s the most real and raw a woman can be, I try and get some images of the beautiful mama to be in a gown then we can move on to a more bourdoir form of the maternity session. Many of my clients might even choose to wear a beautiful robe in a soft color or bring along their favorite neural colored undergarments. These are a sneak peek from the most recent boudoir sessions i photographed. My home studio is located in Richmond, VA. I have a few maternity dresses you could borrow.

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!

Maternity session with K. | Jacki G. Photography| Richmond, VA | Family & Newborn Photographer

K. came into the studio in the middle of her third trimester for a fine art maternity shoot. I first worked with her when she was pregnant with her first baby. We had an amazing session and Big Sis was so adorable. Check out some of my favorites from her session.

Maternity Session with E. | Richmond, VA| Family & Newborn Photography | Jacki G. Photography

I just cannot say enough about this couple. ! I first met them when I photographed E. first maternity session at Midlothian Mines park. They booked the Grow with me package which includes a minimum of three sessions. I photographed their little boys newborn session at their home which is an option and his One year milestone session. The grow with me package includes 20 digital per session, a mobile app. a 16x 20 canvas and an 8x8 album of their three or more sessions.

This was taken at midlothian mines for her first pregnancy.

this image was taken during her first maternity session.

This maternity session took place at the beautiful Sunday Park with it’s beautiful water ways, boats, and dock this made for an excellent location for photograph her maternity session The backdrop was just beautiful But that’s just the background. How beautiful does Mom look in her gown? She looks so at one with nature. I cannot get over how elegant she looks . So lovely! 

It was so fun getting to take pictures of the whole family too. Little P. who is only 16 months old gave us a few smiles for the camera!

I’m looking forward to photographing their new little one. I travel to their home. This is an option for many who would prefer not to leave their house and travel with a newborn. I do have all the props and studio lights for their session. I sanitize everything after each session. Stay tuned to see their new addition. having him in the studio! Our time together during the shoot was yet another great experience with them. I’m so happy for this family, and I can’t wait to meet their new addition.

It was such a pleasure photographing this beautiful family. I had the pleasure of photographing their little one as well and one of the awesome things we get to incorporate a special blanket we used during her maternity session with his newborn session.

A maternity session is booked with a newborn session as an add on. There are several newborn packages to choose from. There is a deposit to hold your spot and the balance is due at the time of your session.

One of the benefits of working with me as your photographer - I have gorgeous maternity dresses in my collection. If you choose to wear your own dresses and clothes that also works as well.

We photograph baby before 10 days so that the baby is still nice and sleepy and likes to be placed in squishy positions.

Whoa, gorgeous MaMa! Capturing K.  maternity session at my home studio is quite a treat because not only do I get to spend time with a glowing mama, but we also with different outfits.   Bonus: In a few weeks I’ll get to snuggle her new baby! Maternity sessions are such an important way to document this huge milestone in your life. Glowing mama and growing family! Your littles will want to look back on these moments, and your photographs will show them just how excited the family was for their arrival. Maternity sessions are typically captured between 32 and 36 weeks, and we can go as easy as you need or be as adventurous as you want! I’ll help you select a location – in your home or outdoors – and outfits! This process is meant to be FUN and EASY, so I’ll hold your hand! What are you waiting for?!
