If you're here, you want dreamy family photos of you with your newborn baby. Postpartum isn't always sunshine and rainbows, but you want to document the sleepy snuggles, tiny toes, and your brand new family. You want to be in the pictures and love the way you look!

 

What should you wear? How do you pose naturally? What if your house is a mess or your toddler is a handful? This is where I come in!

  • I designed my studio specifically for newborn photography
  • I have a rack of dresses for mom and outfits for baby, so you don't have to worry about what everyone will wear.
  • I'll gently pose you so you won't feel (or look) awkward.
  • I've been doing this for a decade and have little kids of my own, and I know how to handle them.

What to Expect from Your Boston Newborn Photography Session

 

There is no bigger change in life than bringing a new baby into your family, and I am obsessed with documenting these early moments through newborn photo sessions.

 

I know from personal experience that it's hard to get in the frame with your baby the first few weeks, and actually like how you look. This is why I am so passionate as a Boston newborn photographer about creating beautiful images of the WHOLE family.

 

During my newborn photo sessions, you will be snuggling your baby and holding them in simple poses. Whether we're in my studio or your home, we will utilize natural lighting, create genuine emotion, and let you and your family shine. I love to utilize neutral colors and simple backdrops that allow us to keep the focus on what matters--your family!

Behind the Scenes of a Boston Newborn Photography Session

 

Boston Newborn Photography Studio – A Luxury Experience

 

Let's cut to the chase. The best part about a photo studio: you don't have to worry about cleaning your house or even finishing your baby's nursery.

 

The perfect backdrop for your newborn photo session, my studio is located in Dedham, MA. With a full wall of giant windows streaming soft natural light, I designed the studio backdrops to be simple and timeless to keep the focus on you and your family.

 

You'll find a bed set up with textured cream and tan colored bedding and pillows, perfect for snuggling up with baby, sitting together as a family, and a few of baby alone. I had a movable wall custom built to give another two background options with a few different chairs and accessories. This and the full wall of windows offer a perfect backdrop for standing poses.

 

Just show up to my 1,200 sqft Boston studio in your sweats and you'll find a rack of dresses, endless outfit options for baby, and simple neutral backdrop set ups.

The perfect outfit

 

Why buy a new dress just for a photoshoot? As part of my luxury experience as a Boston newborn photographer, I am happy to help you choose an outfit from my client closet. Neutral colors, pretty textures, and a range of sizes are all available at no additional fee.

 

In addition to outfits for mom, I have a huge rack of clothes for baby, ranging in sizes from preemie to 12 months. All of my client closet pieces are neutral, simple, and timeless.

 

Show up in your sweats and we'll pick a dress and style everyone else around you!

 

OPTIONS AVAILABLE:

neutral, BUMP-FRIENDLY, FLOWY DRESSES

SIMPLE, adorable OUTFITS FOR BABY

HATS, HEADBANDS, AND SWADDLE BLANKETS
