Meet Anne Weston

It can be overwhelming to step in front of a camera when your body is changing, and worrying about awkward poses or forced smiles can sometimes make expecting mothers want to skip photos altogether. But letting this precious time pass by means missing out on documenting the very beginning of your newest family member's story.Hi, I'm Anne! As a passionate maternity photographer in Richmond, VA, my priority is making you feel effortlessly beautiful and entirely at ease. My photography journey started in local Richmond hospitals, and over the years, I have guided countless growing families through their most vulnerable and joyous milestones. While many know me as a local "baby whisperer" who has carefully handled and photographed over 1,000 newborns, that deep care, expertise, and calming energy begin before your little one even arrives.I bring that same supportive approach to your maternity session. By naturally guiding you, your partner, and even your family, we eliminate the stress of being in front of the lens. The result is a relaxed, professional experience that leaves you with beautifully crafted photos—timeless images that celebrate your strength, your glow, and the incredible family you are building.

Anne is amazing! I call her the baby whisperer! Her pictures speak for themselves. She took my daughter’s newborn pictures as well as 6 month pictures. I’ve recommended 2 family members to her thus far who have also loved her work. She’s such a joy to work with!!

Newborn Session

Best newborn photographer in Virginia! Very talented and with the skill and expertise to create beautiful images that families will cherish forever. Anne is kind and thoughtful in her care and handling of the babies. Our daughter was very relaxed and comfortable during the entire shoot. My husband and I joked we wished we could take Anne with us after witnessing her skillfully soothing our baby. The studio is lovely, spacious, and accomodating. Anne is easy to work with and clever with her photo set up. We let her guide us through it. She took care of everything and we just set back and enjoyed the experience. We will recommend Anne Weston Photography to everyone and will definitely be using her again as our daughter grows. We got so much more than we could ever have imagined. Thank you Anne for capturing this important time in our lives in such a beautiful and genuine way.

Newborn Session

Anne took the most beautiful pictures of our little girl! We received so many compliments as we shared pictures. People were asking where we got them done to reach out to her for their own pictures. Our little girl’s newborn pictures will always be something we treasure and I’m so glad Anne was the one to capture the moment!
