Baby Audrey - Boston, MA Newborn Photographer

I am always looking at other photographers' newborn photos online, and before my first newborn session a few months ago I thought I was going to need to learn how they managed to get these little babies into adorable Anne Geddes-like poses or put them in baskets or buckets or other such items.

But as I was making myself crazy wondering how I would go about this, I realized something... that is not my style. While those photographs are often really beautiful, when I think about what I want my work to reflect I come back to the fact that I want it to be real. More than anything else.

So, when it comes to newborns, I make sure my clients know ahead of time that I don't do a lot of posing. And I don't put babies in things that babies don't normally go in.

What I do, is try to document a family's world with this new little person who has come into it. Because those days when baby first comes home go so fast.  So capturing the essence of life with that tiny little person, when they are still small enough to snuggle into your forearm or sit in your bent knees as you "chat" with them, is my primary goal.

Here are a few from my latest newborn session with adorable Audrey and her parents. Another gorgeous family!
