Why You Should Book the First Year Collection for Your Baby’s Milestones

First Year Photography Collection - maternity, newborn, and milestone package

The first year of your baby’s life is a whirlwind of growth, change, and precious moments that seem to fly by. From the excitement of pregnancy to the sleepy newborn days and those first wobbly steps, each stage is worth capturing. But with a busy life and a little one to care for, it’s easy to let these milestones slip by without professional photos.

Winter maternity photos in Boston: Why I love studio sessions

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.

I have a good friend who’s due date has come and gone, and I was trying to think of particularly good advice to give her in these final days (hours?), about how to prepare for postpartum. Here are my tips for how to prepare, from my own personal experience!

Did you know that 95% of the outdoor photos you see on my website and social media were taken in the Arnold Arboretum? Aside from the fact that its a 5-10 minute drive from my house, there are so many reasons that I think the Arnold Arboretum is the best family photos location in Boston (and outdoor maternity photo sessions.) Here are somethings I look for in outdoor shooting locations and why I prefer the Arnold Arboretum for outdoor photos in Boston again and again.

If you are considering booking a Boston maternity and newborn photographer, but unsure whether you should only book a maternity session, only book a newborn session, or book both? This blog post is for you! Of course, as a professional photographer, I have a special insight into this topic. I also have personal experience with multiple photo sessions with my two little boys. 

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)

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
