Professional Photography for Babies|Wrentham, MA

Enjoy these beautiful baby photographs of Marissa!
 Her big blue eyes just melt your heart and when she smiles you just have to smile with her.





At two months old we captured so many cute expressions. When her big brother and sister joined the session she would not let them steal the show. Photographing babies with siblings can be challenging. I find it best to have another adult bring the siblings at the beginning of the session so that they can leave when their photography is done leaving Mom to focus on baby's first professional portrait session

Digital Media Photographs vs Print Photographs|Boston Area Photographer

OH, HOW I LOVE TO TOUCH PHOTOGRAPHS!

This morning while I was at a hair salon, I ran into a long time friend who was showing off photograhs of her daughter's recent graduation.  She acutually had real paper photographs that I could hold and admire.  I was thrilled!!!  I did not have to look at a smudgy dirty screen and scroll back and forth to view the event.  How easy it was to share the images with other women in the salon and not have to pass a phone or camera around.  We were all handling the photographs passing them aound and commenting on the fun and festivity of the occasion.   I felt that I was thrown back into an era of familiarity and joy.  My love of photography has always provided me with images printed on photographic paper to enjoy and recall the memorable events in my life.  Photographic albums and scrapbooking has always been a secure home for my memories.  Easy to locate and access anytime I needed a stroll down memory lane. 

It is different today.  Digital technology has taken over our lives and has changed the way we protect and value our preceious mermories. Most of the time we feel safe keeping them on our gadget in the hope that someday we will find the time to download, archive and print.  But to often that day does not come and the memories are lost due to technical malfunctions.

It is sad to think that some children, when they get older will not be able to bring out the family albums or even the shoe box of images collected over the years and have that "feel good" trip down memory lane.

Technology can be good as long as we respect it for what it is and condition our thinking that the medium is only temporary and we must put effort into archiving our precious memories.  Professional Photographers are trained and respected for preserving memories in an archival format and when clients inquire about purchasing a digital output rather than portraits that they can hold, display and archive it is our professional duty to educate them to the importance of tangible memories that can be passed down or just brought out for a trip down memory lane.

Newborn Baby Photography|Boston Area Photographer

NEWBORN BABY PHTOGRAPHY

New born photography is one of the most challenging aspects of my photography.  Over the last few years I have had the pleasure of photographing many newborns and have gathered a lot of helpful tips for "Moms" to make there baby's first photo session an enjoyable experience.
  • If you are looking for thos adorable "sleeping baby" photographs, you should have your baby photograph before it's ten days old.  After ten days the babies don't like to be in those cuddly cute poses and they do
not stay in that deep sleep when you lay them down.

Plan the session so that when you get to the studio you can feed the baby and it will be satisfied and sleepy.

Do not bring any siblings to the photo session. Your baby is going to need all of your attention.  Best yet, do not bring anyone to the session who is not patient.

Expect your baby to wake up several times and need to be put back to sleep.

We keep the studio warm for newborn photography, so dress comfortably.

Bring yourself a change of clothes, naked babies poop and pee and your clothing most likely will get soiled.

The most important thing is to enjoy the session and be grateful that you took the time to capture your newborn.  This precious time will be gone before you know it.
