Welcome new baby S. This gorgeous newborn baby girl made me swoon. She is just the sweetest little thing ever. She was super alert during her newborn session which means I got lots of snuggle time. although her happiest place is with her beautiful mama. She had me working for these image but we did get so many great ones!
I hope you enjoy a peek into her newborn photography session...
It is very important to follow the prep instructions for your newborn session. This will help keep the baby happy and easy to pose.
She was all smiles and simply so fun to photograph. We tried something different and used a pool backdrop since it was June to capture a fun summer feel.
I have a few options to the milestone package. There is a 3 session package which we can customize or a 5 session package as well that can be customized. The only session that must be in studio is the newborn session after that as long as the temp. don’t fall to low we can take some outside photos as well. Parents and sibligns are always included in the grow with me package.
I’m located in Short Pump, VA.
Time goes by so quickly in the first year. Funny, I don't feel any older.
I hope you enjoy a peek into her session...
I have been photographing newborns for over 11 yrs. I have had many training and traveled to mentor with the BEST!! These are some of the poses I try to get with the little newborn models. I have also included some of the props I have used. Not pictured are the parent poses or sibling poses that are included in the Deluxe newborn session. It is very important to follow the prep instructions for the newborn session as this will help ensure we get as many poses as we can. Pricing can be found on my website. There is a price different if you would like me to travel to you. I have all the wraps, outfits, headbands and props. If you would like to bring something special you may.

Valentine mini sessions are now booking in my home studio in Short Pump, VA. The session can take 15 min and you get 5 digital downloads for $225.
Winter is right around the corner…I have several backdrops that will make a great setting for your babies milestone portraits. Little L. was such a great model at 6 months old. He was just learning to sit up ! He gave me so many smiles.
This sweet baby girl was incredible at her newborn session. Just look at those full cheeks and sweet little face. I absolutely love photographing babies and capturing this precious time in my clients lives.
Sweet little N. was 10 days new. She was the perfect model. This family came to my home studio for the Petite newborn session. This session is baby ONLY for 30 min and you get 5 digital downloads. I provide all the outfits, wraps, headbands and props. However, if you would like to use anything special for the session I am more than willing to incorporate it into the session.
Valentine minis were a HUGE success! The balloon wall took 4.5 hrs to set up and we had an amazing turn out. Take a look at the sneak peeks from my Valentine mini sessions.
Introducing a sweet little newborn girl, such a sweet little babe. I brought the studio to her home for her newborn session right before she turned two weeks old. Many people are confused or don’t understand why we recommend the right around 2 weeks of life for baby pictures. There are a few reasons. The first being that we want to capture them fresh. We love to see the wrinkles, the hairy shoulders, the flaky skin. We love the soft fingernails, tiny lashes. Each unique little feature of your newborn baby changes quickly. Soon they won’t fit so tiny in your arms. The little peach fuzz on their shoulders, back and cheeks will soon be gone. They won’t be as curly, as sleepy. Their features will change, and they won’t quite look like a newborn anymore.
They are only this fresh, this tiny for such a short time. It is a fleeting moment that we love capturing for parents and families. In this stage they sleep deeply, they love to have their legs curled in to their bodies, just like they had them in the womb. The baby acne hasn’t developed yet. These are the moments that all too often are forgotten. Sleep deprivation takes its toll.
We love creating lasting, treasured memories for families and parents of their baby’s first days of life. Moments and memories that can never be recreated. Let us capture your baby for you. You’ll never regret having gorgeous images of your new little one. We can’t wait to work with you!
These are a few of my favorites from her session.
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.
There are a couple questions I have been getting asked a lot by clients. When should I book my newborn session? Why should I book with a specialty Newborn Photographer? These are great questions to be asking. Your newborn baby deserves the very best & so do you. You are trusting your baby's safety with your photographer and want the very best outcome from the session.
When should you book your newborn session?
I say as soon as possible! Don't wait too long! I know I personally have had to turn away clients who inquired about a newborn session but had waited to long to book and I was already fully booked. Newborn Photographers usually only take a limited number of Newborn Sessions a month to ensure their complete focus and to make sure they will have a session spot for you. Booking early can help in a lot of ways. First, this will ensure you have a session spot. Second, most photographers’ schedules fill up bookings very fast. Third, this ensures that your photographer can personalize/customize the session to your Nursery theme or color scheme that you may want. Most photographers start planning your session soon after your booking, they want to make sure that your portraits are to your liking but also reflect the photographer’s artistic side/style. Also we may even need to buy a prop to coordinate with your session so we will need time to make that happen.
Why to hire a specialty newborn photography versus a regular photographer?
Newborn babies are very precious. You want your newborn to be photographed but your other main concern is their safety. Most photographers care about your newborns safety but may not know the safe way to pose your newborn properly. By hiring a specialty newborn photographer, this ensures they know what they are doing. They can pose your newborn in multiple poses while making sure your newborn is completely safe. They also know how to pose a newborn in one pose but at the same time, making sure to capture the best angles resulting in multiple images versus just one image from the pose. Also, your session time will be reasonable. Regular photographers take longer in posing as they are not fully trained in Newborn Photography. A non-specialist photographer can take up to 4 hours or more to photography a newborn session, as to where specialty newborn photographers can photograph a newborn session in 2 hours or less.

Look who turned ONE! Little Miss was a little under the weather for her milestone session but she still had a great time with her cake. I love when I get to photograph babies their first year of life. They grow so much and to capture these moments for families is so special. The session took place at her home and we try to take some portraits first with the family then move on to the cake smash portion of the session. Most babies are not a big fan of cake so I suggest giving them a little before the actual session so they know what cake taste like. You will provide the decorations such as balloons or banners. I have the letters ONE & #1. You will also supply the cake due to allergy concerns. If you would like for me to supply the entire session the price can be adjusted to make that part of your session less stressful.
The cake smash session can take place in studio or outside at a location of your choice.
Here are a few from the cake smash that I thought were cute.
I love doing in-home newborn sessions in the Richmond, VA area because my families just seem so relaxed for their sessions. No rushing out the door and hoping not to have forgotten anything important. sweet little girl was such a good baby for her newborn session and I got so many adorable photos of her that her family will treasure for years to come.
