Featured Maternity Sessions
Pregnancy is a time-bender. Time moves so slowly as you live your day-to-day with nausea, swollen feet, a newfound waddle, and sore everything... but then it's over, and you wonder how it went by so fast.
Maybe you're rocking the glow. Maybe you're feeling like a whale. Perhaps you're experiencing a little of both. Whatever the case, your memory of pregnancy will likely get pretty hazy not long after the baby arrives thanks to your pregnancy fog and the exhaustion and mom-fog that comes with the postpartum period.
As your Greater Boston maternity photographer, I will focus on the connection you share with your child(ren) on the way, and the excitement, love, and anticipation of this magical season. In a few years, when your child sees your maternity images in an album or in a frame, they'll see how much they were loved even before you ever laid eyes on them.
excitement, Anticipation, Worry, And above all, Love (okay maybe some nausea and random aches, too). Pregnancy is so short, but so powerful.

Having photographed quite a few maternity sessions over time, I've come to realize that every family has different needs and preferences, which means that I can't be the perfect fit for every single one. That’s why I prefer to connect over a brief phone call (10 to 20 minutes max) before onboarding clients, just to make sure that I can provide exactly what you're looking for. There's no pressure, and it's not a test. You deserve the very best experience, and I'm here to make sure that you get it, whether it's with me or not.
We Connect
Once we've determined that I'm the right fit for your newborn photography session (yay!), I will send you a contract to sign, which you will return to me with a retainer, and your session will be officially on the books!

There are plenty of things that are stressful about becoming a parent (or welcoming siblings), but your newborn session shouldn't be one of them. Upon booking, I will send you a guide that will help you prepare for your session, as well as a questionnaire so that I can tailor your session to your family. I will also check in along the way to answer any questions that may arise and help you plan your outfits. I offer the use of my client closet to all clients, so if you're worried about finding something that photographs well, I've got you covered. I have dresses sized XS-XXL as well as several options for newborns up to 3 months.
Session Preparation
Throughout your session, I will give you some guidance and light direction on positioning, so you won’t have to worry about whether or not your best angle is toward the camera. From there, I will focus on prompting your family to interact, because that's how I capture your love for one another. More than likely, your newborn session will be full of baby snuggles. I tend to snap lots of candids, and if a prompt seems a little silly or awkward, it's probably meant to make you laugh. We will get some beautiful whole-family portraits, but my sessions are relaxed and focused on the "real"—I don't believe in performing for the camera, so I tend to keep everything pretty natural. My emphasis is always on connection above all else.
During the Session
After the Session
You can expect your gallery of watermarked images to be delivered via email about 3-4 weeks after your session along with a customized album design. I intentionally don't force clients into choosing what collection they want before they see the images because I only want you to purchase what you fall in love with and nothing you don't! Once you've had the chance to view your images and choose a collection, you’ll be able to download your choice of high-resolution images straight from your gallery and/or purchase additional images. In addition to working with you to perfect your album (if you decide on a collection that includes one), I can help you visualize what a canvas or gallery wall collection would look like on your wall so that you and your child can enjoy the images we capture every day as they continue to grow!
You don't want stiff, awkward posing or a photographer that barks instruction at you throughout your whole session.
You prioritize images that capture connection over posed everyone-smiling-at-the-camera photos.
You want beautiful images that showcase your connection authentically, chaos and all.

I want all of my clients to have the best experience possible, so it's important to me that we're the right fit. To this end, the first step in booking a session with me is a complimentary 10-minute phone consult that gives us both a chance to determine if we're a good fit!

"Hannah has the best personality to handle a crazy family (three kids, two who are 6 & 7 and a newborn!) and still capture so many beautiful moments. ... We are genuinely so thankful for her expertise and guidance through the whole process, and for helping us feel comfortable. My husband does not love having photos taken and he left complimenting her so highly!"

Help! I'm awkward and don't look good in photos!
How would you describe your style?
My finished images emphasize connection. Images are light with true-to-life colors that capture your family authentically. When we book, we will discuss timing our shoot to coincide with the best lighting for the session's setting so that your images will have the same style and quality as the rest of my work.

How would you describe your style?
I get it! I have heard this over and over; in fact, most of my clients tell me this. The "secret" to not looking awkward is not FEELING awkward. I will guide you into positions that flatter you and prompt interaction so that you don't need to fake a smile or stand around wondering what to do.
