Let’s be honest — getting a toddler to cooperate for family photos is like trying to reason with a tiny, snack-demanding tornado. Add in a growing baby bump, unpredictable weather, and a partner who’s “not sure what to do with their hands,” and you’ve got all the ingredients for a hilarious, heartwarming, perfectly imperfect maternity...
Maternity photoshoots are a beautiful way to honor this fleeting chapter — the anticipation, the connection with your partner, and the excitement of welcoming a new little one into your family. But when it comes time for your session, it’s completely normal to wonder: what should I wear? Should I get my hair done? How...
Choosing where to take your maternity photos is just as important as choosing the right photographer. The location sets the tone for your images, influences the overall style, and shapes how comfortable you’ll feel during your session. As a Boston maternity photographer, I help families decide between three main options: the studio, your home, or...
I have to admit, this Maternity Photos Kelleher Rose Garden session was a bit outside my comfort zone. This lovely client contacted me asking to do their maternity photo session at the Kelleher Rose Garden in the Fens, mid morning on a hot day in July. They had gotten married there a few years ago...
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.
Wow so amazed to have won this! Thank you so much to everyone who took time to vote for me!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Busy season 2025 is officially wrapped! Just finished up a lovely in home newborn session in JP and now have a full week off for the holidays. You wouldn’t know it by my feed, but over the last three months I’ve photographed over 50 sessions. I’m so grateful for all those families who trusted me with their portraits, and I will be busy getting those images out ASAP! :)
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 😍😍
