Worth the Drive: Why Somerville Families Choose Our Andover Newborn Photography Studio
If you’re a new parent in Somerville, MA searching for a newborn photographer, you may be wondering if it’s worth the short drive to Andover. The answer from countless families I’ve welcomed over the years? Absolutely.
At Crabapple Photography, we specialize in timeless, full service newborn photos. And we’re honored that many of my clients travel from Somerville, Cambridge, Boston, and beyond to visit my cozy Andover, MA studio. I moved to my studio in 2017 and I love getting to welcome families into my home away from home.
A Calm, Cozy, and Professional Studio Experience
The early days with a newborn are a whirlwind. You’re sleep deprived, emotional, and each day your baby changes. That’s why I designed my studio to be a peaceful retreat. From the moment you walk through the door, my staff and I take care of everything.
Parents from Somerville and the Greater Boston area looking for a newborn photographer tell us how much they appreciate having a quiet, welcoming space where they can relax during the session. Need a break to nurse, pump, or just sit back with a coffee while we work? You’ve got it. Want to take a quick power nap on my sofa? Go right ahead!
















Full-Service From Start to Finish
Booking with Crabapple Photography means you’re not just getting newborn photos, you’re getting a full service experience. From wardrobe and styling guidance to custom setups, backdrops, and professional editing, we handle it all.
And yes, we have everything you need for your session here at the studio. So there’s no need to stress about outfits, wraps, or props. You show up, we take care of the rest. I love working with clients to create personalized set ups that they love. For this session, that meant including lots of roses, and baseball touches. I love the way that the two combined together!
Why Families From Somerville Make the Trip
There are lots of photographers closer to home. But families often tell us that the drive from Somerville is worth it for the experience and the quality of their portraits. They love the warm, baby friendly studio and frequently share how cared for they feel. From first inquiry to final gallery delivery, my staff and I are here to help. And perhaps the best feedback of all? Knowing that their newborn photos will be treasured forever.
The short drive from Somerville to Andover (less than 30 minutes!) is a small effort for portraits that will last a lifetime. Want to turn those portraits into heirloom keepsakes? I’ve got you covered.
A Studio Built for Babies And for You
With over 16 years of experience as a Boston-area newborn photographer, I’ve worked with hundreds of families and babies. I know how to pose safely, soothe gently, and capture all the little details that change so quickly, tiny fingers, squishy cheeks, sleepy yawns. And I’m never alone, I always have an experienced assistant with me to make sure everyone is happy, safe, and cozy.
We offer sessions that are never rushed, and always centered around your baby’s needs, and yours as well.
