Seeking a Local Boston Based Photographer for My Newborns

Hello Everyone,

I am 38 weeks and expect to have my twins any day. I have been trying to find a photographer near me in Boston (Back Bay/South End) to take photos of our newborns once they arrive. I often see these amazing black and white photographs of newborns and I'd love to have some of my new little ones, but I can't seem to find anyone local.

I am being picky. There are a lot of options on line, but I would love a referral. I did find a couple photographers located west of Boston. I just did not get a good "vibe" from them. They seemed very talented, but a little cold. It would be great if the photographer came to the house.

Any recommendations?? Again, I'd love someone local.

Thank you!!
R.

What can I do next?

Mary Noone of Shutter by the Sea. She's based in Cohasset, but recently moved there from the South End. Her company was formerly known as Shutter in the City (when she was in South End). Here's a link:

Also, Fredricksen Photography out of Marshfield. Husband and wife team. Nichole, the wife, recently took photos of my two daughters and they came out beautifully. Here's a link to their site:

I listed Mary Noone first simply because she's lived in the South End, and probably would have no trouble coming to you. Hope this helps!

Hi R.,

You may want to look into this woman I know, Bonnie. I know her personally and I have seen her work, though I have never had any work done by her myself.
Congratulations and good luck with everything!

Hi R.,
Congrats on your preganncy! I'm a photographer based in the suburbs of Boston but I do come to the Boston & Cambridge areas (I have a few clients in those areas). I strictly do on location photograhpy so I certainly can come to the home. My style tends to be more on the candid side using as much natural light as possible. Feel free to check out my website (click "galleries" for my portfolio) and call or email me if you have questions.

BTW, I'm a mom of two and have a background in early childhood education so I feel comfortable around babies and children.

I have worked with Connie Miller for years now. She was the photographer for my sister's wedding and mine. Connie also does family photography now. She is an incredibly artistic and dedicated photographer. I would suggest looking at her website and definitely considering her if your goal is to capture the beauty and innocence of this beautiful stage in your life. Good Luck!

Hi R.,
I know you're probably not looking for photographers themselves to chime in, but I'm a child photographer based in Cambridge. I have reviews on my mamasource biz link here, and my website is: www.timestandstillphotography.com. I photographed a lovely newborn last week, a few photos are posted on my blog: www.timestandstill.blogspot.com. I shoot entirely on-location either at client's homes, or outdoors. While I do shoot in color as well, black and white is my passion, especially for newborns.

Let me know if I can help, or if you have any other questions!

I used Nicole Lewis of www.nicolelewisphotography.com - She does live outside the city but she came to our house and took the time to get some great shots. She was here for 3 hours. In that time I nursed her, changed her diaper and attended to her other needs without any issues or pressure to get on with it. We also were able to use the digital images for our birth announcement that I ordered online. The company just needed Nicole to send a release form and there was no issue emailing the photography. My husband and I were very happy with Nicole.

I got her name along with others from Isis Maternity. They hang a lot of photography around there facility. We go to the Arlington Isis.

Andrew Miller is a friend of mine and came to my house to shoot those beautiful black and whites when I had my twins. His studio is in the South End so perhaps he would do the same for you. You can reach him at ____@____.com or ###-###-####. You can let him know I sent you.

Also, if you are looking for a twin club to join, I highly recommend the WSCMMOTA..west sburban chapter Mass Mother of Twins Assoc. Check out the web site.

Good luck with everything! Twins are so much work at first but so worth every minute of sleep you miss!!!! Mine just turned 2 and I can't even remember the hard times at the beginning.

Hi R.,
This may be a long shot but try the Town of Brookline Adult Education Dept. There is a teacher there his name is Raul Melendez. He teaches photography and does FAB work. If you can't get a hold of him...email me and I will see what I can do. I worked with him in the school program. He is talented and fairly priced. Good Luck with you blessed twins.

Hi R.,

I worked for a wonderful photographer who has several specialties, including tiny children and families. She is a mother to 4 great young girls. She regularly does "on site" shoots, and specializes in outdoor settings as well. She will seek out what it is that you want, and make it a wonderful opportunity.

HTH and good luck!
