When I hopped on the phone with Christine to discuss her Savin Hill Dorchester Newborn Photographer 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 MOM 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’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...
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...
Buying newborn photography outfits might be one of the most fun parts of my job. You might have read that I have a client closet–I often talk about all the gorgeous dresses I have available to moms for maternity, newborn, and family photo sessions. One thing I forget to talk about are all of the baby clothes that I have for newborn 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.

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!
