MEET RICHELLE

hi loves!

I’m Richelle

Let’s Get to know each other

Fueled by shaken oat milk espressos and my one and four year olds' hugs and laughter, I spend my days capturing the kinds of images that make you stop, smile and ask time to please slow down. Your story, your love, is beautiful and I can't wait to capture it in images you will treasure for years to come. 

I believe in real moments and heartfelt conversations by the fire pit. In the kinds of images that remind you of the joy that can be found in the simplest of moments together.

Wouldn't you love to have this?

Your friends and family visit your home and walk away jealous of that gorgeous gallery wall.

Your coffee tables are littered with albums of memories.  Flipping through the pages becomes a favorite Friday night past time. 

Recounting the memories with your children when you look at photos together makes them grow up yearning to do the same with their children.

Absolutely !

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS —

FAQ

When do I reserve my newborn session?

No. 1

To book your at home newborn photoshoot, you will need to sign a contract and pay the retainer aka the creative fee. The fee will depend on whether you are looking for a one time full session, or a membership of 2-4 sessions.

When will we get our newborn photos?

No. 2

I try to deliver your photos to you within 4 weeks of your session. For my newborn sessions, I place an urgency on delivering so you get them back before they turn a month old.

How many newborn photos will we receive?

No. 3

You get to purchase and select your digital images after viewing your gallery. You can opt to purchase 8, 20, 30 or all images.  

Do you offer matted prints or albums?

No. 4

Absolutely!  The labs I work with only produce the most stunning pieces of art that are meant to last for generations.   

Can I book multiple sessions within my baby's first year?

No. 5

Most definitely. In fact, if you join my membership, you can save $700 AND you get a $200 print credit after each session instead of just a $100 print credit from booking one session.  

What if we need to reschedule?

No. 6

I get it! Sometimes we need flexibility.  You are welcome to reschedule as long as it's greater than 7 days of your photoshoot. 

Can we have our newborn photos taken at your studio?

No. 7

Of course. You can choose between Hartford and Plainville, Connecticut.  

I have so many more questions!
