I'm a newborn photographer Boston with a studio in Dedham, MA, obsessed with all things pregnancy, birth, and baby. Take a look around to get a feel for my work.
While every session is a little different, I do have a few favorite newborn photography poses that I like to do at most photoshoots. I don’t like to overly pose my families for their sessions. I want you to look natural and comfortable, and the best version of yourself.
We had a maternity session together back in November, and I immediately loved this couple. One of the best things about my First Year Collection, is that I get to know my clients so well. During their maternity session, we chatted about their life, how the pregnancy was going, and how excited they were for this baby. By the time we did their newborn session, we felt like old friends.
You might be wondering what a full studio maternity photo session looks like. I usually post 10 or so photographs in a blog post or on social media, but you might be surprised to know that this gallery had 80 images in it!
It isn’t aways easy to create natural posing for maternity photos. When I first met Laura and David for their maternity session at the Arnold Arboretum in Jamaica Plain, they both told me that they feel awkward in front of the camera and actually hate getting their photo taken. I told them that I hear this all the time, and that I’d work to make them feel comfortable and natural, even though it can feel a little awkward.
February break is over and both my kids are back in school! If you’re like me, the last week (year?) was spent at different indoor play spaces around Boston, trying to keep your kiddos entertained. Luckily, the end is in sight for Winter, but if you’re still looking for some entertainment on the weekends, here are some of my favorite spots for indoor activities with kids in Boston!
I was nominated for Favorite Family Photographer by @communitykangaroo ! I NEED YOUR HELP! It would mean the world to me if you could vote for me and my business to help me win! Link in bio!
51 sessions in 3 months, no sweat 😂😂😂🫣
NO FUN ALLOWED 😂😂 Can’t wait for newborn photos with this fam ❤️❤️❤️ #bostonfamilyphotographer #motherhood #maternityphotographer #bostonmaternityphotos
I’ve been up editing since 3am… anyone else have a child who barely eats dinner and then wakes up way too early STARVING??? Ugh
Popping out of my editing hole to share this session I just wrapped. I know everyone loves fall foliage but for me, wildflowers will always be the best 🥰
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 🥰🥰🥰

“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.”
