Burcham's Newborn Photos | Newborn Photography Richmond VA

I love telling stories about my clients, but this one is especially dear to my heart, so I hope you’ll read it all the way through.

Documenting the Burcham family over the years has felt like watching life unfold right in front of my eyes. As someone who loves newborn photography in Richmond VA, there’s nothing quite like seeing a family grow in front of my lens.

I first met Claudia and her husband over six years ago when they welcomed their first baby girl. I was there to photograph her very first days during a cozy newborn lifestyle session in their home. Moments like these are exactly why I love being invited into families’ lives to capture those early days filled with love, tiny details, and peaceful moments.

Then time, as it always does, flew by and before we knew it, that tiny baby was turning one. I still remember her sweet smile, holding her balloons and beaming at my camera, her gentle little personality already shining through.

Time moved forward again, and that baby girl was ready to become a big sister. The Burcham house was now waiting for another little one to join the family. I photographed Claudia’s maternity session at the VMFA and Libby Hill, two of my favorite spots in Richmond for sessions like this. It was a calm, sunny morning and big sister was my little helper, snapping photos of her parents with my camera.

A few weeks later, their new baby girl arrived and made their home feel even warmer. Capturing this session reminded me again why I love what I do. There is something so peaceful about a home where everyone, parents, big sister and even the family dog, comes together to make space for a new life to grow and thrive.

Every time I photograph this family, I learn a little more about what it means to be gentle and to love each other well. From my own experience living life, I know love is not always easy but it’s worth choosing, every single day.

Their newest baby girl is just as sweet as her big sister, and my hope for their home is that it keeps blooming with love, laughter and countless blessings.
