I love when families come back to me to photograph their second, third etc. babies. I photographed little D. his first year using the Grow with me package and the family booked the same Grow with me package for their little Girl. She was born on Christmas Day which is really awesome. She slept for the last half of her session. I brought the studio to the families home. Everything i use is cleaned and sanitized after each use. I wear a mask and make sure that everyone is healthy before we begin. Mom picked out creams and pinks for little P. newborn session. Newborn sessions are best booked before baby is 14 days old so that the baby will sleep and like to be posed . These are just a few of my favorite images from the session. I look forward to documenting her grow.

Madison your smile lights up a room!! We have loved getting to know this fun senior- she’s an amazing woman. We love her because she’s not only beautiful to photograph, but she’s fun and sweet as can be. We had trouble choosing our favorite image from her senior portrait session, but here is a few of the many that we love. I photographed her Drape portraits as well as her casual portraits . We choose a few different locations to show different side of Madison.
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.
If you’re a parent, I bet you remember what it was like just after your little one was born. That feeling of wanting to hold your baby close, even when others offered to give you a break. You weren’t ready for a break just yet. You could stare at those sweet, perfect features for hours. And when you did take a break or put baby down to rest, you were eager for a few more snuggles even though you desperately needed rest yourself.
I know the feeling. I’ve had three babies. And no amount of tiredness could keep me from gazing at those tiny toes and precious faces. That’s one of the reasons I become a newborn photographer. I wanted to preserve this fleeting time as brilliantly as possible, and I wanted to give other families that same gift.
S. parents contacted me well before her due date to schedule a newborn session as soon as possible after her arrival. They weren’t after any fancy props or themed sets. They just wanted to capture that perfect newborn bliss. She is their firstborn, and they wanted to take in every minute of this magical experience. Everything went smoothly, and we were able to get sweet S. into the studio at just eight days old – perfect timing to capture that true curled up newborn look.
We kept it simple just as they requested adding in just a few pink accents. S. slept the entire session without making a peep and was a perfect model! I could not get enough of her beautiful little lashes, button nose, and precious lips. What a sweetie!
Themed first birthday sessions are so much fun. I try and take some photos of the birthday child and with their parents then switch to the cake smash portion of their session which helps some one year old ease into the session. Some maybe a little shy and since Quarantine they haven’t been exposed to many people so some are a bit scared and cry but we did manage to get a few cute pic of the cookie monster themed ONE Year old milestone session.
What a gorgeous little peanut! K. was definitely small, but she rocked her new baby photo session. I love all the neutrals from her session with some soft pops of color. She slept for a majority of her session, Big brother was so good with her. He was so proud and make sure to check out the stunning parent images from her session. I know she’ll cherish those when she gets older. Congratulations to this beautiful family of four! I loved meeting you all and can’t wait to see how she has grown as the months go by!
i had so much fun photographing all these families at the Sunflower field this year! Thank you for coming out during this pandemic. The field was just breath taking. Alvis Farms was an incredible host for the sunflower festival. Their 50+ acre sunflowers were the perfect backdrop for family photos.
Loved working with this little cutie for her one year session. Her mamma wanted an ice cream backdrop so we got one and it matched her cake. So adorable. She wan’t too happy that day but we did get a few smiles. I love when families come back for their milestone sessions. We usually take family portraits first then we move to the cake smash as the end. Your baby can switch outfits and set up the decorations if you would like a different backdrop.
Since the start of the Coronavirus going around I wanted to explain the safety steps Jacki G. Photography is taking to ensure your safety.
I have been a newborn photographer for 9 years. I always practice special precautions to make sure the studio is cleaned and sanitized properly before, during, and after each session. I regularly clean the studio. but especially during this pandemic , with the Coronavirus going around I am taking extra precautions.
Since I am also a traveling newborn photographer, I make sure that all of my equipment is cleaned and sanitized before each session. If you or your child is sick please contact me to reschedule your session. I do not mind rescheduling. it is better to be safe. If you do bring a sick child in my studio or I arrive at your home and their is a sick child, I will cancel the session without refund. Please don’t spread any kind of sickness. We want to keep everyone healthy.
I keep/bring hand sanitizer in the studio and to your home session. I wash my hands before the session and will use hand sanitizer during the session. I wash my backdrops/blankets before and after each session. I wipe down hard surfaces with Lysol cleaning wipes. I also wipe down and clean the bathroom including door handles, light switches and so on. I have hand sanitizer in the bathroom too. Please feel free to use the hand sanitizer. I ask that you do the same in the area I will be working in. I also bring a mask and gloves when working with newborns to make sure everyone is safe.
For cake smashes I use seamless paper. After each cake smash session I cut off the part we used and throw those away. buy the seamless paper new in packaging for each session. I wipe down any props what we use with Lysol wipes too. I pride myself in making your child’s safety my first priority.
Its my birthday and I can cry if I want to….
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask. I would be happy to answer them. As always thank you so much for choosing Jacki G. Photography.
This sleeping angel is so very loved! I brought the studio to her home. This allows parents to be more relaxed and not worry if they forget something. This Deluxe Newborn session includes parents. The session takes a little longer but is more relaxed since it does take place in the comfort of your own home. Each newborn session is beautiful and unique in its own way. You get to choose the props and colors from my prop collection.
Thank you guys for sharing your little one with us!
I love getting to hang out with an adorable three-month-old. I set up my studio in her home, which is an option instead of coming to my home studio. Whichever works best for families. I think Chloe was a serious 3 month old but i did get a few smiles out of her. Here is a sneak peek from her adorable session.
Little S. was so good to me for his in-home newborn session at his Virginia Beach home. He slept through his entire newborn session and really made my job look so easy. I really love this sweet understated peacock set-up that we did during his session. So much cuteness in his newborn gallery and his is sampling from his newborn session. I also love when grandparents are included in a few shots. This little boy is so loved.
A rainbow baby is a baby born shortly after the loss of a previous baby due to miscarriage, stillbirth, or death in infancy. This term is given to these special rainbow babies because a rainbow typically follows a storm, giving us hope of what’s to come.”
This was such an emotional and special newborn photo session. Every part of these photos had a meaning and a deep connection with this loving family. I am very grateful to be part of these incredible moments. Thank you guys so much. I have worked with this family for a few years. I just love when clients become more like friends.
Little Z. was a great little model and Big sister was such a great helper during his session.
Spring mini sessions are NOW booking. I have a April 25th open as well as May 23rd . I cant wait until the weather warms up. I may open up more days if needed.
These sessions are 15 min and you get 5 digital downloads for $140 plus tax. The location will be determined closer to the date.
Audrey is ONE!! She was such a sweet little one year old. She was such a ham…she wanted to sit on my lap and have me read her stories and then the next min she would climb on the chair and clap her hands.
I photographed sweet R. 3 days after he was born. He was such a great sleeper and his Big brothers were so excited to show off their little brother. Baby R. was such a good newborn for his newborn pictures. After being awake for pictures with his family, he slept for the remainder of his session and gave us some amazing newborn photos. I’ve photographed R. brothers and I look forward to working with his family.
I was on call for a birth and when I received a call from Carrie who was past due she said she might be in labor and will keep me posted. I had a newborn session scheduled for that morning so I decided to photograph the newborn and be home by 11 a.m. just in case she called. I txt her and she said she was going into the hospital around noon. I arrived about 5 min after she did. She was amazing while laboring and her partner, doula and nurses were supporting her….She labored for less than hr and gave birth to a beautiful healthy baby boy. She was a rock star! Here are just a few of the images I captured as she labored.
