Sweet S. Newborn Portraits| Jacki G. Photography| Richmond, VA | Family & Newborn Photographer

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!

Introducing A. 13 days new| Richmond, VA| Family & Newborn Photographer| Jacki G. Photography

There’s something I love so much about a little boy session. Maybe it’s the simplicity. The focus only on that sweet baby and nothing else. As a newborn baby photographer, that’s really my goal. To feature that sweet new addition to your family in the best way possible, but also in a way that you love and that reflects my style with your input from the questionnaire. I can come to your home and bring the studio or you could come to my home studio whichever is easiest for you. I clean and sanitize all of my equipment and props before each session. So take a look below and see what we came up with. Such a sweet boy … and those cheeks!

Introducing K. 7 days new| Newborn & Family Photography| Jacki G. Photography| Richmond, VA

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!

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

Wow, I haven’t blogged a newborn session in a while. Yikes! It’s finally picking up a little since the covid shutdown. But I have the perfect reason to get back to sharing my adorable little newborn sessions – I’ve have the opportunity to photograph M. 13 days new. I do clean and sanitized all equipment after each session . I can come to you or you could come to my home studio. Once you book a session we discuss props and colors. If you prefer to use your own props and wraps that would be fine.

I loved meeting Miss M. She didn’t like to be wrapped but she eventually fell asleep and posed for her session. They are so over the moon with their little girl! Congratulations to the proud parents on your birth of your precious little girl – it has been such an honor getting to know you and documenting your growing family.

Welcome to the world X. 6 wks new| Jacki G. Photography| Richmond, VA| Family & Newborn Photographer

I usually encourage parents to bring baby to me when they are still under two weeks, or at least in the first month, if they want newborn style images of their sweet babies. But I know that cannot always happen. I would never turn away a client just because baby is “older”. I do, however, have to set expectations with the family. At 6wks., I usually cannot get sleep curly newborn style images. Sweet baby X. didn't fit the mold for a typical 6wks old  baby girl. She slept a little for  her session and we were able to get some darling awake AND asleep shots of her. At this age if they do sleep I can usually only get them in one prop, asleep. Moving them usually wakes them. But she let us move her! It was definitely challenging, but SO worth the patience. I mean, how you can you resist these sweet images! <3 Congrats to this beautiful family!

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

Look at adorable Noah from his in-home newborn session. He was such a good baby, he was up for most of his session and liked to cluster feed but at 8 days new he rocked his session. I know his parents will charish these images for years to come. I’m so happy to provides these newborn photographs for families in the comfort of their own home. I also have a home studio but for the most part clients feel more comfortable in their homes. I bring the whole studio to you. We discuss colors and props you would like to incorporate into your session to make them special to you.

Newborn Photography| Richmond, VA| Jacki G. Photography| Family & Newborn 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!

Rainbow Babies....| Richmond, VA| Family & Newborn Photography| Jacki G. Photography

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.

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

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.

Cake Smash sessions| Jacki G. Photography| Richmond, VA | Family & Newborn Photographer

Cake Smash sessions are so much fun.  Some kids smile a bunch, some are super serious, some cry, some do a mixture of all three, but watching kids try cake for the first time is really and enjoyable time no mater how they react to the cake.  Seeing their reaction to their cake smash session is so much fun and can make mom and dad really laugh during their session.  I brought the studio to Airias home which may help with their anxiety . Airia cried some times but really liked her cake. Her theme was Alice in Wonderland which is an awesome theme for a cake smash.

Welcome Ava!! Jacki G. Photography| Richmond, VA| Family & Newborn Photography

Meet Ava! What a sweetheart she is and a beautiful addition to this world!  She was a Rockstar during her session and slept most of the time. Her big brother adores her but was a little shy during the photo session. I can tell she is already so loved by her family. We did a mixture of lifestyle and posed newborns which is always a good option when you are dealing with a toddler who may not want to pose.
