Lifestyle Newborn Photography | Richmond, Virginia

You focus on your new baby.

I’ll focus on you (and the puns).

Something about the newborn stage needs to be easy, and feel natural.

What feels easier and more natural than photos of you snuggling with your family and simply staring at your newborn, in the comfort of your own home?

Stay home, slide on your fuzzy socks and put your feet up.

I’ll come to you.

No studio, no posing, just natural photos of you and your new family enjoying life at home.

You had me at “stay home”

A mom smiles down at her newborn baby, in her arms. The baby is undressed and swaddled in a homemade yellow blanket.

A family of three sits together on a chair at home. Dad is whispering something in Mom's ear and they are both smiling, while she holds their sleeping newborn baby.

A mom holds her newborn son up to her shoulder and looks down at him. He squints in the light and grabs her upper arm with his fist.

A new dad holds his newborn son and talks to him. The baby has his eyebrows raised and is staring at Dad.

All of this new stuff can be completely overwhelming.

As a mom of two, I empathize. It’s hard!

But you don’t have to be a pro at parenting or photography for this.

Lifestyle newborn photography isn’t about perfection.

It’s about you, your family, and the remarkable journey you’re on together, starting now.

Want to learn more about me before I come over?

Step one:

We’ll have a 15 minute phone consultation to go over the process, detailed pricing, your expectations, and any concerns you might have before we become official. Then, a $300 session fee and a signed digital contract will hold your spot while we wait for your baby to make their appearance.

Step two:

I’ll come to you, in Richmond or the surrounding counties, masked and camera in hand. We’ll find the best light in your house and hang out for 90 minutes. This gives us time for snacks, diaper changes, and breaks, especially if you have other kids who need some attention, too.

Two weeks later, I’ll send you a slideshow with your fully edited images to ooh and ahh over, where you can choose the collection that best works for you. Which leads us to…

Step three:

Choose your collection!

Along with a virtual stack of digital images, each collection option comes with a print credit, so you can get your favorite pictures where they belong: on the wall, where your family can see them, in albums to keep forever, and/or in gifts for grandparents, aunties, and uncles.

My newborn clients spend between $1000 - $1500 for the session fee and collection.

Got Q’s? I’ve got A’s.

This is a great question that really depends on your needs and desires. We’ll talk more about this during our phone consultation, but here’s a blog post I wrote that goes into some detail, too.
Just let me know when you fill out the contact form that you’re interested in both, and we’ll talk about both in our phone consultation. 30 minute add-on maternity sessions are $450 and include 25 images to download and $90 print credit for the print store.

“She was incredible…”

“We worked with Allison to capture our two week old newborn. She was incredible balancing a sleepy baby, a nosey dog, and overtired parents during our photoshoot. I am very happy with our photos and our experience working with her.”
