As a Newborn Photographer in Virginia Beach, I’m guessing if you’ve found your way here, it’s safe to say you’re dreaming of relaxed & cozy newborn photos at home as you anticipate your sweet baby’s arrival. Well, you’re in the right place! Studio newborn photos may still be popular in other areas, but here in Virginia Beach, many families are opting to have their newborn photos captured right at home.
My clients love that I save them time & energy, and make taking newborn photos easy & stress-free, because I’m happy to come right to their home. No packing the diaper bag, no driving in traffic – just a relaxing morning at home in newborn baby bliss.

Picture Your Dream Newborn Photos In Virginia Beach
What is the first thing you think of when you start dreaming up your newborn photos?
Do you picture yourself relaxed, at home, in the nursery you spent hours curating for your little girl?
Are you envisioning cozy moments with your baby boy, swaddled up, snuggled on the couch with your pups?


As a full-service newborn photographer in Virginia Beach, I specialize in creating these relaxed, in-home newborn sessions. That means, on photo day, you don’t have to worry about packing your diaper bag to go to a studio – sounds great, right?!
I will travel right to your home for your newborn session. I bring all that is needed for your photos, including neutral wraps for the baby, headbands for the baby girl, AND timeless, flattering dresses for Mom from my Client Wardrobe. (You can read about & see some of the Client Wardrobe. The client wardrobe is just one perk that is included for all of my Signature Sessions, which is especially great for your newborn photos at home.

In-Home Newborn Photos Captured By A Newborn Photographer In Virginia Beach
There is nothing quite like having a brand new baby to snuggle. I wonder, why even leave that newborn baby bubble, when I can come to you?! Many new parents have spent so much time preparing for their baby’s arrival, pouring love and care into decorating the nursery, ordering custom decor, and praying over their baby’s first bedroom, that they want to have photos done right there in their home. I’m all for it!

While I am located in Virginia Beach, I also offer newborn photography & family photography in Chesapeake, Norfolk, and Suffolk. I’m happy to travel to where my clients live within Hampton Roads.



5 Reasons To Consider Newborn Photos at Home
There are many positives to why you should consider having your newborn photos captured at home:
No leaving the house!
Yep, no leaving the house, no packing the diaper bag, no need to change out of your pajamas on session day! Just come downstairs, and (if you book with me!) your hair and makeup artist will get you pampered up and looking refreshed for photos, while I unpack the client wardrobe dresses for you!
No need to worry about what time to leave, packing the diaper bag, packing bottles, or doing an extra pumping session – just stay relaxed at home, and I’ll come right to you.
Pets Can Join
Not all dogs are good with traveling, and dogs are a part of the family! At home, pets can come and go, watching me take photos, and join us for photos at any time.
Sibling Cooperation
Need I say more?! Siblings can relax with Dad while I take photos of Mom and baby, or just the baby. Then, when we’re ready for big siblings in photos, they hop on in!
If they need a snack or bathroom break, they know exactly where to go. Toddlers, in particular, feel safe and cozy at home. This, in turn, gives us a better chance of capturing the baby and sibling connection.
You Get To Show Off Your Nursery
I know you poured over your Pinterest board with tons of inspiration to get baby’s first room *just* right, so in-home newborn photos are an amazing way to show that off! The house baby comes home to will ALWAYS be their FIRST HOME.
Taking your newborn photos at home is perfect to ensure they will always have a way to see what life was like back when they were born, and how special their nursery was.
Genuine Connection and your personal style.
Having photos taken in your home will allow your gorgeous home to be featured.
While, no, it is not about having a Pinterest-perfect farmhouse kitchen, or the perfect Pottery Barn matching nursery decor, your home is YOURS. Your style and your personal touches are all over the house! While we will usually take photos in the nursery, we may also take photos in other rooms! The living room, master bedroom, sunrooms, or porches. Again, this home that the baby comes home to will always be their first home. 🙂
Connection comes easily when people feel comfortable and safe. This is especially true for toddlers & younger big siblings. Being at home will help them feel safe and cozy, even if it can be stressful to add a new baby to the family dynamic.



When Should You Book Newborn Photos?
Most of my clients will reserve their baby’s due date on my calendar in the 2nd trimester. There are a few reasons to book your newborn photographer early. One of those is to ensure that your dream photographer will be holding a date on their calendar for YOUR baby, so you won’t miss the best timeframe for their tiny newborn details in your photos.
