Spring Minis Now booking! | Jacki G. Photography LLC| Richmond, VA| Family & Newborn Photographer

I’m excited to announce Spring mini sessions this year. I will have a few spots open for Spring Studio and Outside with the blooms.

I also like to photograph near the murals in Richmond, VA

A mini session is 15 min and you get 5 digitals for $225 plus tax and you get 5 digital downloads.

These images are examples of several spring mini session locations i have photographed in the past. Some are studio with the different backdrops i use. The spring studio sessions take place in my Short Pump, VA location. These sessions are for children only. The outside minis are suitable for families and i try to do a mixture of posed and lifestyle. These sessions are for families of four or greater.

Most blooms are best captured the end of March until May.

Santa minis were a hit| Jacki G. Photography LLC| Richmond,VA | Family & Newborn Photographer

How lucky am I to have been working with the same Santa for a few years now! He even brought Mrs. Santa with him this year to the studio! ! I wish honestly I could have done 2 straight days of Santa Minis because they were so sweet and magical. How fun to witness the joy and magic (and fear haha) that comes from kids when they meet Santa. Santa was so sweet with everyone and won over the most fearful of kids by the end of their time with him. He was so gentle and really made an effort to make a connection with each kid individually. Some of the kids brought their lists directly to him, and he brought Mrs. Santa to help ease some of the kids fears. If you missed out this year just know this will definitely be something I do next year!

Welcome to the world N. 7 days new | Family & Newborn Photography| Richmond, VA | Jacki G. Photography

This sweet newborn baby boy was 7 days old for his session. He was the perfect mixture of alert and asleep for his session. I absolutely love all of the parent posing we did during his session. Big brother was so good with him. Capturing mom and dad with their brand new baby is a special moment during the session for me. I know not everyone is feeling their best after delivery and are sleep deprived but I promise you when your baby is grown you will be so very thankful you have these photos of you with them in the first few days of life.

Welcome to the world X. 11 days new| Richmond, VA| Jacki G. Photography| Family & Newborn Photographer

Studio newborn sessions are what I’m most known for and they are probably my favorite sessions to shoot. I love getting in my newborn cuddles! To have this many people trust me with their brand new babies means the word to me. I got to photograph Baby X. 11 days new. He was such a good model and Big Sis who is only 15 months old did amazing with him. I look forward to working with this family again.

Mom wanted to use the toilet paper prop since her baby was born during Covid19

Sunflower mini sessions| Richmond VA| Jacki G. Photography| Family & Newborn Photographer

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.

Older Newborn session| Richmond, VA | Jacki G. Photography| Family & Newborn Photographer

It’s true. There is a preferred age when photographing a newborn. And there are some photographers that will only photograph a baby during those few weeks. But guess what? I know life can get in the way. And while pictures of your baby are certainly a priority for many, I completely understand why they get delayed … or forgotten. I am more than happy to photograph your new baby at any age. Older newborn photos can be just as beautiful as pictures you might have taken right after your new bundle arrived. I will tell any potential client that I prefer the baby to be under 3 weeks of age. And I do tend to find that these younger babies do best at their portrait sessions. However, there are always exceptions to the rule so if you’re questioning anything, please feel free to reach out and we can discuss your specific situation. As long as everyone has the right expectations, then photographing your baby at any age can result in photos you will cherish forever.

The perfect example of an older newborn is sweet C. below. Mom really wanted images of her sweet little one but due to covid she had to wait a few weeks. Baby C. was 8 weeks of age. Not an age I shoot a lot of since it’s right in between my two standard milestone sessions (newborn and 4 months). He was, for the most part, out of that curly, sleepy newborn stage. But wouldn’t you know it, he gave us that perfect mix of wrapped shots and wide-eyed awake shots.  There are so many portraits that I love from his session! His mom loved the toilet paper image the best. How cute is it that she has his initial put on the toilet paper to remember the time when he was born during a pandemic.

So don’t hesitate to contact me if you’re considering older newborn photos of your baby … not matter the age. We can chat about your wishes and your baby’s current stage and figure out what would work best for you. I’d love to be a little part of this amazing adventure you’re on!

Santa Mini sessions| Jacki G. Photography| Richmond, VA | Family & Newborn Photography

Santa minis were a HUGE HIT!! This was my first year photographing children with Santa and i thought it worked ….some kids were shy but given the 15 min some warmed up and we got great shots….others were still a bit shy but we still managed to get some great images.

We will be hosting Santa Minis next year….

He didn’t realize Santa was behind him. :)

Welcome to the world Triplets| Jacki G.Photography| Richmond, VA| Family & Newborn Photographer

I had the opportunity to photograph triplets a few weeks ago. I love babies, it’s obvious, right? I do, I love photographing them, holding them all of IT!! So, of course, the more the merrier but I will say the thought of photographing my first set of TRIPLETS made me a little nervous. I wasn’t sure what to expect. Well, these three beautiful girls made it effortless. I was OVER THE MOON, they are all gorgeous, including their big brothers whom I haven’t seen for about a year. You know mom and dad have their hands full but they make it look easy.
