Richmond Newborn Photographer

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.

Richmond Newborn Photography Session Details

A lifestyle newborn photography experience at home, with enough time banked in for cluster feeding, snacks for older siblings, and diaper changes.

Included in the $300 session fee:

  • Guidance through the process, including a consult call and questionnaire to mold your session around your family

  • 90 minutes of photography at your home

  • Professional photo editing

I believe in the freedom to choose your digital image collection after you’ve seen your photos and know what you love. Each digital collection comes with a print credit, so you can get your favorite pictures printed, where they belong.

The three newborn collection options:

Black Cherry ($1200): all of your digital images, $500 print credit

Persimmon ($1000): 75 of your favorite digital images, $250 print credit

Pawpaw ($700): 35 of your favorite digital images, $100 print credit

Session fee + chosen collection = your total investment

What to Expect

  • Before the Photography

    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, the $300 session fee and a signed digital contract will hold your spot while we wait for your baby to make their appearance. I’ll send you a questionnaire to help mold the session around your family, not the other way around.

  • The Photography Session

    I’ll come to you, in Richmond or the surrounding counties. We’ll find the best light in your house and hang out for 90 minutes, reserving time for snack breaks, older siblings, and all the parenting in-betweens.

  • After the Photography

    I’ll edit your photos, and within two weeks of your session you'll receive an email from me with a link to your photo slideshow. You'll be able to view it and share it for 24 hours before you need to decide on a collection. Each collection has a select number of digital image downloads and a print credit for the print store, so you can get your favorite images off your computer and onto your walls or into an album.  

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.

Newborn photography isn’t about perfection.

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

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.”
