I think everyone wants to know how to take better family photos. Hiring a professional photographer to document a new baby in their first few days of life is an investment that is well worth the time and money. You’ll have professional quality images and prints to cherish for the rest of your life, freezing that moment in time when they are brand new and fresh, their tiny toes and fingers, their perfect skin and baby hair, and their incredible tininess in your hands.
❤️Link in stories and bio! I am so excited to be nominated as “Favorite Family Photographer” by Community Kangaroo again this year. It would mean the world to me if you would vote for me in this final round. Thank you so much for taking the time to support me and my business! :)
First frost means lots of bouquets in the house 😂
Currently living at the Arboretum 🥰🥰🥰
Anyone else feel like September is the longest month? Last vacations and starting school and shorts with sweatshirts and so many dahlias and open houses and school meetings and chilly mornings and apple picking field trips and one last bbq and earlier bedtimes and earlier wake ups and soccer Saturdays and birthday parties and a dozen outdoor sessions. And somehow October is next week! I’ll just look at these pretty pictures of a baby to calm myself out of an early fall panic attack 😂
Excited to meet this baby today for a newborn photo session in my studio, just outside of Boston!
If you`ve just started researching newborn photographers, you might be wondering, what does a typical studio newborn photoshoot look like? After 12 years of photographing babies and their families, I have this process down to make it as seamless and easy as possible for families. Check out my latest post on the blog to learn more!
4 years ago today it was so nice out that we went to the hospital to deliver this perfect baby without our coats ☀️ Happy 4 Rory ❤️🥰❤️
Wow this just took me way too long to create 🫣🫣🤣😅
Including siblings in newborn photos sounds sweet in theory.

In reality? It often involves snacks, bribes, strong opinions, and at least one child who absolutely refuses pants.
And that’s… totally fine. 😅
The goal of sibling newborn photos isn’t perfect behavior or everyone smiling at the camera at the same time. It’s capturing real moments — curiosity, chaos, cuddles, and the very beginning of a lifelong relationship.
We keep things low-pressure:
• We start with sibling photos while attention spans still exist
• We don’t force hugs (ever)
• We take breaks (lots of them)
• We fully expect some wiggles, wandering, and craziness
Some of the best photos happen between the planned moments — when a toddler leans in unexpectedly, declares the baby “too loud,” or gives a quick kiss and runs away.
Your kids don’t need to cooperate. They just need to show up as themselves.
And honestly? That’s where the good stuff is.
