Richmond VA Family Photographer | L Family

I have been working with this family since Susan was pregnant, and what a gorgeous maternity session THAT was!  We met at Maymont in Richmond VA, which, in my opinion has no spot in the whole entire park that isn't photo worthy, and I got to see all sorts of gummy smiles from little miss!  It was a warm "fall" day that kind of felt more like summer, but we all hung in there and now the family has some gorgeous portraits to hang on their walls!  With our sessions, digital files are always included and I don't limit the number of images you receive, because I can't pick favorites either.. I love them all! :) See you next time, L family!

What is sweeter than one baby? TWO BABIES! And, both girls. While I may personally never get to know what it's like to have girls, I certainly get to snuggle them during sessions.  More often than not I am in the studio in Chester for newborn sessions, but every so often a family wants it to take place in their home and I get to stretch my creative wings!  Every space is different, the lighting is never certain, but it's fun to find the best spots.  This was a lifestyle portrait session that took place in their beautiful home in Richmond. We incorporated a few pieces from the family, and I brought a few wraps, and together it was the perfect session!  Thank you V family for trusting me to come in your home and capture your sweet girls, I look forward to seeing you again!

The thing I love most about photographing Richmond VA families is being able to be silly with the kids.  We try to get a few more structured shots at the very beginning, but that usually only lasts about 5 minutes before we move on to the fun.  Kids do not want to just 'sit and say cheese' and I wouldn't make them do that!  Unless it is an extended family session I usually recommend my minis for families, they're short and sweet at 30 minutes and nicely affordable as well! This works well for families who want to come more than once a year to capture their growing family.  

Some of my favorite shots ever are the ones like the above, just a fun playful family moment that is so gorgeous it deserves a billboard size print! ;)  This family has been with me for a few years and I even have a canvas of their little guys earlier sessions in the studio. 

We held this session at one of my favorite locations that sits on the James/Appomattox River.  It's usually very quiet so we are not fighting crowds and it's super gorgeous and has lots of options for different pictures!
