In-Home Newborn Photo Sessions: Richmond Family Photographer

When you’ve just brought your baby home, the last thing you want to do is travel. That’s why I specialize in in-home newborn photo sessions—bringing lifestyle photography to your doorstep or my downtown Richmond studio with a bed and couch for that cozy feel, delivering 30-40 edited images from a 1-hour session.

In-Home Newborn Photo Sessions Benefits

In-home or studio sessions let your family relax in familiar surroundings while I capture those precious early days—solo baby shots, family together, or with siblings if applicable. Not a need to pack diaper bags or disrupt nap schedules—everything’s right there!

Preparing Your Space for Photos

Worried your home isn’t “photo-ready”? Don’t be! During in-home newborn sessions, I just need one small area with good light—like near a bedroom window—or we’ll use my studio’s lifestyle setup. You’ll get a guide with prep tips in advance!

Clear any clutter and turn up the heat a bit to keep baby comfy. I bring wraps, tiny outfits, and props (all sanitized) to focus on natural moments—no stiff posing here.

In-Home Newborn Photo Sessions Flow

In-home newborn photo sessions take about 1 hour, with time for feeding or soothing breaks. We’ll start with family shots while everyone’s fresh, then move to solo baby shots on your bed, couch, or my studio setup—capturing real moments just as they are.

I work at baby’s pace, focusing on safety and comfort for a gallery of 30-40 images reflecting your newborn’s personality.

Including Your Personal Space

I love incorporating meaningful elements—your nursery, a heirloom blanket, or my studio’s cozy bed—for that sentimental touch. Whether in-home or studio, these details make your photos uniquely yours, showcasing baby’s first weeks.

Siblings and Pets in Sessions

In-home or studio sessions make including siblings easy—especially toddlers comfy at home or on my couch. I’ll capture natural interactions, and pets can join too, keeping it stress-free and fun!
