Hey there, I´m Jennifer Traylor, professional baby whisperer.

As your Richmond Maternity and Newborn Photographer, I pride myself in creating a warm environment to capture you and your most precious treasures, your family. In my cozy little private home studio in Sutherland, Virginia, I help new parents, growing families, and mamas-to-be slow down and hold on to the moments that go by way too fast. You know those photos you walk past every day—the ones that make you pause, smile, maybe tear up a little? The ones that somehow bring you right back to that moment?
That’s what I create.

I am an award winning photographer who specializes in maternity, newborn, baby, and family photography for clients from Richmond, VA, Dinwiddie, Prince George, Chesterfield, Ft Lee, Petersburg, Midlothian, Varina and beyond.  I loves capturing your special moments from glamourous baby bump, newborn’s first days, milestones including learning to sit, crawl and walk, and baby’s first birthday, and everything in between.

My style is natural and classic. with a flare for bold empowering maternity sessions. 
I love working together to create the kind of portraits you’ll never take down.

Treasure YOUR IMAGES for a LIFETIME!

Trusted by Richmond maternity and newborn photography families since 2010, but honestly, I’ve been loving on little ones my whole life—both in work and as a mom of four.

What drew me to newborn photography? The challenge. Newborns aren’t easy—but calming them comes naturally to me. I know the tricks that keep them content, cozy, and asleep (which makes all the difference in those dreamy, peaceful portraits).

Your baby will never be this tiny again. These moments are fleeting—but your portraits don’t have to be. Let’s capture them beautifully, so you can always come back to the way it felt to kiss those squishy cheeks and breathe in that newborn scent.

RICHMOND MATERNITY

Growing the next generation should be celebrated and remembered. Your body is doing the very work of growing your child. Let's capture every curve and celebrate becoming a mother.

RICHMOND NEWBORNS

Your session will be relaxed and soothing while I capture your baby using the stocked studio with every prop, wrap, and bonnet you would ever need.  I will carefully soothe baby and capture every detail of these tiny precious moments.

RICHMOND MILESTONES

From tummy time, sitting up, crawling, first tooth, standing, and  walking ,  we will work together to capture each of your baby's special milestones. These sessions are quick, playful, and full of energy.

RICHMOND FIRST BIRTHDAY

First birthday's are super special. These sessions can be done with or without a cake smash, bubble bath session, and family time.  Capture moments of each parent with their little one and include siblings as well.

My husband and I took our baby boy to Jennifer for a newborn session and she was absolutely amazing. She handled him with such care and kept him calm and comfortable throughout the entire session...she's like a baby whisperer!!! She allowed us to choose from so many props and included us in our sons shoot, and our products were beautiful.

Why do I love Richmond?

Richmond, Virginia, is a historic city blending Southern charm with a vibrant arts and food scene, set along the scenic James River. Known for its pivotal role in American history, it now thrives as a hub for culture, innovation, and outdoor adventure.

Some of my favorite places to shoot in Richmond include the Richmond Riverfront Canal Walk with its gorgeous park and historic columns, the canal walk surrounded by water and lively landscaping and modern street art, and infamous Maymont Park with its vast gardens and open fields of grass on rolling hills. Richmond has you covered for beautiful scenic backgrounds.

While I'm in the city, I love to catch a bite to eat in my favorite sushi spot, Sticky Rice. I love their tuna bites, their sushi of course ( as long as its shellfish free for me, allergies, annoying) and my signature moscow mule to drink.

If you are looking for a spunky vibe, take a stroll thru Carytown and its eclectic shops and slide into Mellow Mushroom for delicous deep-dish. I love the Vegan Vegout add pepperoni. YUMMY!
