Welcoming Baby with Love: A Newborn Portrait Session near Boston
There’s nothing more precious than the first few days of your baby’s life. As a professional newborn photographer in the Boston area, I know how fleeting this time can be and how important it is to preserve it forever through timeless, heartfelt portraits. At Crabapple Photography, I specialize in creating newborn photo sessions that celebrate the magic of your growing family while keeping baby safe, comfortable, and calm.
Why Choose a Professional Newborn Photographer in Boston?
Newborn photography is a unique art form that blends creativity, patience, and expert care. When you choose a professional like me, with over 16 years of experience serving families across Boston, the North Shore, and Southern New Hampshire, you’re trusting someone who understands baby safety, lighting, posing, and styling, all while delivering beautiful, frame worthy portraits.
My Andover, MA studio is fully equipped with everything you need for a successful newborn session: soft wraps, unique props, curated backdrops, and a calm, welcoming environment. I take care of every detail so you can simply relax and enjoy watching your little one’s first portraits come to life!
When to Book Your Boston Newborn Session
The best time to schedule your newborn photo session is during your second or third trimester. I typically photograph babies within the first 6–16 days of life, when they’re still extra sleepy and easily posed. Don’t worry, if your baby is already here, I’ll always do my best to fit you in!
Because my studio calendar fills quickly, especially in the spring, summer and fall, early booking is recommended to ensure you get a spot.
What to Expect During Your Newborn Portrait Session
A typical newborn session lasts around 2 hours and includes a variety of poses and set ups. You’ll have access to my extensive collection of props, wraps, and accessories, and I’ll tailor the session to your preferred colors and style.
I’ll photograph baby both individually and with parents and siblings (if you’d like), creating a beautiful gallery of images that reflect your family’s love and connection. Every detail, from tiny fingers to sleepy smiles is thoughtfully captured.
Here’s a peek at what’s included:
- Pre-session questionnaire to plan your custom session
- Full use of studio accessories and props
- Two professionals: an assistant and myself to provide the ultimate safe environment for your newborn
- Professional retouching of all final images
- Optional heirloom albums and wall art design
