CHILDREN (IN STUDIO)
Sudbury & Framingham Children’s Photography Studio
I offer two session types to fit your needs: Standard Session Fee Only and Digital Sessions.
• Standard Sessions include a session fee, with prints and products ordered separately from your online proofing gallery.
• Digital Sessions are all-inclusive and include a set number of high-resolution digital images in the session fee, along with a discount on additional prints and products.
When you look back at photographs of your children, I want you to truly see and feel who they were at that age — the giggles, the goofy smiles, and those fleeting moments like when one child sneaks a sweet kiss to a sibling.
My photography approach goes far beyond looking at the camera and saying “cheese” (I actually hate that word). As a mom of three boys, my focus is on capturing children as they really are — their personalities, their connections, and the joy they share together. While I guide and gently pose throughout your session, the magic happens in those reactive moments when a child forgets I’m there or happily hams it up for the camera.
My why is simple: to create beautiful photographic memories — meaningful, lasting treasures you’ll look back on and remember exactly who your children were at that moment in time.
In addition, I specialize in studio children’s photography in my warm, boutique-style Sudbury, Massachusetts photography studio. Studio sessions are fun, relaxed, and storytelling-driven. On any given day, you might find a one-year-old celebrating with a cake smash, a six-month-old proudly sitting up for the first time. As well as siblings being photographed together for the first time since the youngest was a newborn. Most importantly, don’t forget to include your pets in your children’s session too. They are a huge part of the family as well as mom, dad and siblings.
Lastly, my studio offers a variety of carefully curated props and backgrounds, allowing you to choose a look that reflects your style and complements your home’s décor.
