We really have tons of fun during these Boston family photographer shoots. I play with you and your kids to capture genuine smiles and emotions. I loosely pose you and give you some general direction, but overall I have you snuggle and tickle and play with your kids.
I will get individual shots of each child, shots with each parent, and lots of the whole family. I love getting a variety with everyone smiling and looking at the camera, as well as tons of less posed shots where you’re just having fun.
You can expect me to run over to you to tickle tiny toes, and run backwards to catch the reaction. Poop jokes and silly faces--anything to get a real smile. No "say cheese" faces here, just genuine laughter and fun.
My goal as Boston family photographer is to create gorgeous artwork of your family's natural connections that you can't wait to share.
As part of your family photo session, I am happy to assist with styling. I truly believe what you wear is one of the most important choices for your photos.
Don't want to buy an dress just for these photos? No problem, you can wear one of my gorgeous dresses I have stashed in my client closet.
Want to wear something from your closet, or buy something new for your photos? Awesome! I have a family style guide to help you choos e what to wear. I'm also happy to look at photos or links of outfit options to help you decide.
Boston family photographer sessions last about an hour and are done outdoors in the Spring, Summer, and Fall. My favorite location is the Arnold Arboretum in Jamaica Plain and Roslindale, only a 15 minute drive from downtown Boston. Family sessions can also be done in my gorgeous studio in Dedham, or in your home!
I love photographing extended family sessions. Seriously, the more the merrier!
I'd love to work with you and be your Boston family photographer, year after year. If you're ready to get on my schedule, send me a message today.
Your baby’s first year is filled with fleeting, beautiful moments—from the anticipation of pregnancy to the tiny details of newborn days and the joyful milestones that follow. The First Year Collection includes a maternity, newborn, and a milestone or family session at a special bundled price, ensuring you can cherish every stage with timeless, heartfelt photography.
Let’s document your family’s journey from the very beginning.

I would be so psyched to work with you! I take a limited number of newborn, maternity, and family photo sessions each month, so please contact me ASAP to learn about my pricing and to get on my calendar.
I'll send over my pricing and more information about my sessions. We can even chat over the phone *gasp* to answer any questions you might have--don't worry, I'm awkward and weird, so you'll totally be the cool one.
Please include some information about you and your family, and what you are looking to get out of these photos in the comments section.
I cannot wait to hear from you!
I know I am horrible about posting, but Fall is getting booked QUICK. I can only take so many sessions each month, so if you’re hoping to get on my calendar this year (including newborns and maternity) please let me know ASAP!
So many sessions I haven’t shared yet! This one was a stunner 😍😍
The sweetest review 🥰🥰🥰
Your little family 😍😍😍
Remembering the spring blooms as I rip out one billion weeds in my garden 😍😍
Kindest words from this client— “These are AMAZING! I have had multiple people tell me these are the best family photos I’ve ever had, and some of the most beautiful photography they have ever seen. I was a little nervous with Rigby being so active, and us being sweaty hot messes but these are beyond beautiful. Thank you so much!“
Kind words from this lovely family ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Anyone else jumping up and down this morning because both their kids are away for the whole day for the first time in 3 weeks!? Just me? 😬

“Will be coming back to Whitney for family photos! Her 10+ years of experience really showed through! Here is what I loved:
The wardrobe she offered up for postpartum moms for the photoshoot. I loved that she provided a link in advance so when I showed up to her studio I already knew what I wanted to try on. I opted to wear my own dress that I brought because my skin tone looks better in bright whites.
The ease! All I had to do was show up and the studio was stocked with food, baby changing table, cozy couch – it’s like showing up to a friends home!
Efficient – Whitney was amazing with my baby and she was able to calm her down and position the baby for beautiful pictures! The time flew and we opted for the larger package because the photos came out fantastic we couldn’t choose!
Friendly – Whitney was welcoming and patient when our baby became hungry during the shoot! She let us feed her mid way through the shoot!
Preparation – upon arrival to the studio she had outfit options laid out for the baby! It made the process less stressful and easy!
Fast turn around in pictures! Got finished pictures in less than 2 weeks! All amazing quality and she even did a minor edit on one within 24 hours upon request.
I can’t recommend her enough! No cons! Just book Whitney and you won’t regret it.”
