Charlottesville & Richmond’s Studio Newborn Photographer

Rich Vibrant Posed Newborn Portraits

Charlottesville & Richmond Virginia

Bringing a new baby into the world is a moment unlike any other, and I’m here to help you preserve those first precious days with beautiful, timeless newborn portraits. With over 15 years as a NICU nurse and advanced newborn photography training, I specialize in safely posing and capturing your baby’s tiny details, soft expressions, and sweet snuggles.

The best time to book your newborn session is during your second or third trimester. Once your baby arrives, we’ll schedule your actual session date within the first 7-21 days. Older babies are always welcome in the studio—we simply adjust our expectations for poses and styling to ensure a beautiful session at any age.

My Charlottesville photography studio is conveniently located just off Highway 64, making the drive from Richmond quick and easy—something my Richmond clients often rave about! Inside, you’ll find a carefully curated collection of props and wraps, creating the perfect setting for a stress-free newborn session. Whether you envision classic, posed portraits or soft, dreamy images, I’ll craft photos that feel warm, artistic, and uniquely yours.

“Baby Whisperer”

Angela has helped capture so many moments in Graysons life that I will cherish for the rest of my life. Her photos are works of art that capture the most memorable moments in stunning clarity. Her back ground and knowledge as a NICU nurse has helped her understand babies ques and deems her worthy of the title “Baby Whisperer”. Please look at her portfolio and reviews so you can see for yourself how amazing of an artist she truly is. Angela McNaul Photography thank you for all the breath taking photos!
