OMGoodness!

This beautiful baby boy was simply perfection during his newborn photo session in my Richmond, VA studio this past week. It's such a pleasure to photograph these littles.

At 3 weeks old I wasn’t sure if we were going to get a few tummy poses but he knocked it out of the park. He slept right through making it for a lovely, calm experience for his parents. They were able to have a little rest while I worked my magic.

I hope you enjoy a little looksie into his session. Contact me if you're interested in a newborn or baby photography session. Just email me an inquiry using my contact form and I will get back to you personally within a day. 

Babies are best photographed before they are 10 days old but sometimes that doesn’t work out so I try my best to pose babies in a safe and comfortable setting.

Sweet little Z. was 9 days old for her session. She was a wake for a few shots but then fell fast asleep. She was simply perfection during her newborn photography session. She was well fed and slept beautifully allowing for so many set ups.

Her mama wanted pinks and white for the session so that is what i pulled. Everything is washed and santized after each session.

Traveling to photograph a newborn| Richmond, VA| Jacki G. Photography LLC| Newborn & Family Photographer

Here's a sneak peek of beautiful baby G. Her parents flew me out to Nebraska for her newborn session. It was pretty cool to travel to Colorado and rent a car. I got to see Colorado, Wyoming and Nebraska. A little back story, a client who used to live in Richmond then moved to Nebraska told a friend who loved my work and flew me out. Little Miss G was just perfect! She was so tiny about 5lbs and we got to use a lot of the parents props since i wasn’t able to travel with a lot.

She's simply the sweetest thing ever!

I’m located in Short Pump, VA and have specialized in Maternity, Newborn, baby and family photography for over 11 years. It was an absolute pleasure to travel to photograph a newborn.

Hiring a newborn photographer is more than just a price!

Please do your homework when hiring someone to work with your newest little bundle. I totally understand that pricing can be scary when it comes to hiring your photographer, but these are moments you will never get back! They are fragile and so small. Your photographer should be trained and highly experienced. You aren’t just paying for your photographer to take the images, you are paying for an experience. This is just a small portion of what goes into a newborn session.

There is planning, deciding on the colors you would like to use. Choosing props for the set up and following instructions to make the session move smoothly.

This is before and after of just the editing portion of 1 newborn pose. Most galleries are between 10-50+ images. Each image is edited and cared for so that each picture you recieve is perfect! A full gallery takes hours to cull, edit and refine. Consider all these when you are expecting a new baby. I love all my clients and am so thankful for the trust they put in me to capture these beautiful moments.

Please do your research before just hiring anyone to handle your sweet little baby.

Welcome to the world S. 9 days new| Jacki G. Photography LLC| Newborn and Family Photographer| Richmond, VA

Darling newborn baby S. 9 days new made her appearance in my studio recently... she even brought along her two big brothers who I also photographed as a newborn.

I hope you enjoy a peek into her session. I love to photograph growing families. I try and photograph siblings and parents first then concentrate on the newborn. The studio gets very warm so be prepared. I have a few puzzles and toys for the older siblings to play with while I photograph their new baby sibling. If the other parent wants to take the older siblings home or back to school that is also an option.

This little one had me working for these images but you wouldn’t know it from the perfect little images.

If you would like to book a session with me please reach out via email. My online scheduler isn’t always up to date.

Welcome to the world E. 3 wks new| Jacki G. Photography LLC| Richmond, VA| Family & Newborn Photography

This gorgeous baby girl needed a lot of coaxing to go to sleep but finally, we were able to get some beautiful shots of her. At 3 weeks old, this is the reason why we like to do newborn photographs between 5-10 days while baby is super sleepy still. 

I hope you enjoy a quick look into her session.

Happy Memorial Day| Richmond, VA| Jacki G. Photography LLC| Family & Newborn Photographer

Today, we honor the brave men and women who gave everything for our country. As we all remember their service and sacrifice, we wish you a safe and Happy Memorial Day. I had the honor of photographing a sweet newborn with his Daddy !

Baby E. 3 wks new | Richmond, VA | Jacki G. Photography LLC| Family & Newborn Photographer

Little Miss. E. was 3 wks new during her session. She took some time to settle but once she did we got some amazing poses. We have the studio set at 80 degrees with a heater so she is nice and warm during her session. This lovely baby girl brought so much joy into my studio.

Newborn sessions have the best results when the baby is under 10 days old. This is because they are still super sleepy and love to curl up. Newborn photo shoots are also best done before baby acne sets in at about 14 days. However, sometimes this can’t be done and an older baby we may have to work a little harder to get them into certain poses. Some poses such as the froggy pose may not be idea for an older baby but there are still several poses we can get an older baby into.

If you're thinking about a newborn photoshoot for your new baby, inquire early. I'm currently booking a few months out. If your newborn is already here feel free to reach out, occasionally I do have last-minute openings. I'm also now offering priority editing, you can opt to have your image gallery within 5 days of your session. It's a great way to get your images back right away, especially if you want to get those birth announcements out.  There is a fee for this service.

These are a few of the images I was able to capture of little Miss. E.

I am located in Short Pump, VA. I have been photographing newborns for over 11 years.

Welcome to the world N. 12 days new| Jacki G. Photography| Richmond, VA| Family & Newborn Photographer

Photographing newborns is my passion. I used to be a doula and have witnessed over 86 births. I am very comfortable around babies and have had many safety training. One of my favorite parts of photographing newborns is the opportunity to capture their innocence, beauty, and vulnerability. Newborns are incredibly adorable and have unique features that make for beautiful photographs. Photographers can capture these special moments that parents can cherish for a lifetime.

Another aspect that photographers may enjoy is the challenge of working with newborns. Newborns are delicate and require patience and care when handling them during a photo session. Photographers who specialize in newborn photography often have a special talent for soothing and posing newborns in ways that showcase their features and personalities.

Overall, photographing newborns can be a rewarding and memorable experience for both the photographer and the parents.
