A mom and dad looking at each other in a garden as the mom holds their newborn during a Chesterfield newborn photography session by Katie Stansfield Photography.

As a mom and newborn photographer, I understand how important it is to choose the right photographer for your newborn session. Your first few weeks with your newborn fly by so quickly, and you want to make sure this season is documented just how you’re envisioning. There are so many newborn photographers out there, and […]

A mom holding her baby while looking outside of a window by Katie Stansfield Photography, a newborn photographer in Virginia.

You’re an expecting mama checking all the must-do items off your to-do list before baby arrives. Nursery – planned. Baby shower theme – chosen. Baby name – narrowed down to a few favorites. But newborn photos? You don’t know where to begin, and with the weight of so much to do before baby gets here, […]

Have you ever wondered what makes some family portraits stand out more than others? While there are many aspects to a beautiful family portrait, thoughtful outfit styling can make the biggest difference. Coordinating these outfits for an entire family can feel like a heavy task at first, but it doesn’t have to be! Here are […]

A woman looking at and holding a baby at a Richmond fall mini session by Katie Stansfield Photography.

Think back to the last time you had family portraits. How long ago was that? Did you find it challenging to fit a family photography session into your already busy schedule? A fall mini session may be the perfect fit for your family’s needs. These sessions are much shorter than a full-length session at just […]

A woman bending down to hold a basket while looking down at her baby in the basket at a Richmond family photography session by Katie Stansfield Photography.

In your family photography session, you’ll see me shooting with two cameras: a film camera, which was the original camera used for photography, and a digital camera, which is more commonly used today. The beauty of film is what first drew me to photography, and it’s central to my artistry. I remember first coming across […]

One of the most exciting things to do when planning for your newborn’s arrival is decorating his or her nursery. But planning this nursery can also feel overwhelming at first. Narrowing down a theme, choosing the best items, and thinking through how it will all look once complete creates another task during the busy time […]

A mother holding her newborn while sitting next to the father at a Richmond outdoor newborn photography session by Katie Stansfield Photography.

Oftentimes when thinking about newborn photography sessions, families automatically gravitate towards having their session in their home, indoors. These indoor newborn photography sessions can be a great option for many families, but for those who want something a little different yet still timeless, an outdoor newborn photography session can be the perfect choice. When deciding […]

A close-up of a man and woman holding the woman's pregnancy bump during a Richmond maternity photography session by Katie Stansfield Photography.

Pregnancy is such an exciting time filled with many new experiences and so much anticipation. One of the most exciting things early on, soon after finding out you’re expecting, is sharing the news with friends and family. Pregnancy announcement photos are a beautiful way to share your excitement with others and document that special moment […]

A newborn wrapped in a blanket and laying in a basket with his mother's hands holding his hands at a Richmond in-home newborn photography session by Katie Stansfield Photography.

When it comes to how to prepare for in-home newborn photos, a little preparation beforehand can make all the difference. As a newborn photographer in Richmond, VA, I typically schedule these sessions within the first two weeks of baby’s arrival, so that we can capture all those tiny details while they’re still so small and […]
