Opening my own photography studio was one of the biggest game changers for my newborn photos business. Many photographers start out photographing either outdoors only, in their clients homes, or even creating a studio space in their own home. If you don’t know anything about my own business history, I started shooting in my living...
While every professional photographer will roll their eyes at you if you say something like, “you’re camera takes great photos,” there is some truth to it. Part of being a professional is using professional equipment. Peek into my camera bag to see the newborn photography equipment I use for every shoot. Canon R5 Mirrorless camera...
I often get asked why I became a newborn photographer. Most women I know in the newborn and family photography industry started their businesses after becoming moms themselves. They started taking photos of their children, bought a nicer camera, took better and better photos, and realized they could turn it into a business. My story...
I love being a Boston extended family photographer! This might actually be an unpopular opinion, but I think they are so much fun. So many combinations, its kind of like giving my clients multiple family sessions bundled into one. While extended family portraits can sometimes feel chaotic, there are some things that you can do to make things a little easier. Here are some tips for both families and photographers, for amazing pictures and successful extended family photo sessions.
Ever thought about opening up your own photography studio? I started as a Boston newborn photographer with a pop up set up in my living room, moved to a (tiny) dedicated home studio in a guest room, and finally moved to my dream studio location 3.5 years ago. Learn from my experience with these tips on how to do it yourself! (Link in stories and bio)
When I hopped on the phone with this gorgeous mom newborn photo session, she told me something that I have heard over and over. She wasn’t planning on hiring a professional photographer, but now her baby was 7 weeks old and she realized she only had (not so great) iPhone photos of her! Not only that, but SHE wasn’t in most of them! She really wanted to document this time while her baby is tiny, and ALSO be in the pictures!
I’ve had so many studio maternity sessions lately, it’s a gorgeous backdrop option for these colder months!!
As I prep for a 7 week old at the studio… I’m often asked, “how old should my baby be for newborn photos?” Every photographer has a different opinion for the perfect age for newborn photography. My personal preference is 2 weeks. BUT, while there was a time that I felt pretty strongly about this, I really don’t care that much how old your baby is when I photograph them anymore. I’ve actually heard of photographers turning clients away because their babies were “too old.” Is your baby a month old right now? Two months? Email me! We’ll have a great time and get gorgeous photos, no matter how old your baby is for newborn photos. #bostonnewbornphotographer #newbornphotography #bostonfamilyphotographer #familyphotographer #newbornphotographer #motherhood #familyphotography #bostonnewbornphotography #babyphotography #bostonfamilyphotography
Can’t wait to meet this babe today! ❤️❤️
Back after vacation, I’m finally catching up on posting sessions! This one’s from back in September! Embarrassing!! 🤦♀️
Seriously love an all white maternity studio session. Having the studio is perfect bumps during for those cold winter months, with the perk of my client closet rack, which I JUST added 3 new dresses to!
Leaving for Costa Rica (kid free) in 2 weeks, send me all your recommendations!! San Jose, La Fortuna, and Rincon! 😎😎
This little cutie is going to be such a good big brother!!

I can totally relate to this, even as a professional photographer. I took endless (iPhone and big camera) photos of my little ones, but the only photos I had with them was of me in sweats and dirty hair, and mostly horrible selfies. I actually did TWO newborn photo sessions (hiring other professionals, of course) with each of my kiddos, and they were worth every penny. There’s nothing worse than looking back at photos from these days and 1. hate every photo that you’re in, or 2. not be in any of them!
