Caston Studio is a Richmond Tradition that is about preserving,The Circle of Life . For three generations we have started at the beginning with touching and sensitive baby portraits. From maternity with mom and dad to your baby's birth and beyond, we will capture that intimate feeling for a lifetime. Your Generations Portraits are very important for posterity. Babies change every day and it is wonderful to capture those changes, as time goes by very quickly. As they grow into the school years and that all important Senior portrait we are here to record the changes. Later, much later, the engagement, bridal portraits, wedding candids and then again the family portraits complete the circle. Call (804) 754-2800 for appointment. Caston Studio invites you to bring your baby in for a special package that includes your sitting.
