Winter maternity photos in Boston: Why I love studio sessions

Winter Maternity Photos Boston - mom and dad expecting a baby sitting on the floor together

Its February, which means I’m busy with Winter maternity photos in Boston. This time of year, most of my pregnant clients choose studio maternity photo sessions over outdoor shoots. Obviously, living in Boston, the weather is a major factor for choosing a location for your photos during the winter. While I love snowy family photos when kiddos are a little older and everyone can bundle up and play, maternity sessions are different. Here’s some reasons why my studio is my preferred location for Winter maternity photos in Boston.

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 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!

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

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!
