Babies and Birthdays and Big Brothers | Boston Baby Photographer

Well it’s official, we have our first round of quarantine babies! and what cuties they are! The past couple of months I’ve photographed some sweet new babes born near the end of this crazy quarantine. I’ve also had the pleasure of setting up the studio for a couple of fun cake smash sessions. The next few months will be full of outdoor family and beach sessions, so keep an eye out for more session updates!

Have Your Cake... | Cake Smash Portaits

Amidst the chaos and uncertainty of 2020, one thing is still true… babies + cake = adorable.

I love the tradition of letting baby smash their very own cake during a First Birthday portrait session. Some babies love the cake, some hate it, but either way, it’s 100% adorable.

Here are some of my favorite First Birthday session memories of 2020. And a big thanks to Melanie at Sweet Stuff Bake Shop (Norton, MA) for creating the amazing smash cakes.

The Babies of 2020 | Boston Newborn Photographer

There’s no doubt that 2020 will be a year that none of us will forget. Schools closed, toilet paper shortage, sanitizing everything, masks, limited gatherings….

But these families will remember 2020 for a much better reason. They welcomed a perfect bundle into their homes.

Let’s look back at the adorable Piggy Toes babies of 2020.



2020, what a year! | Massachusetts Portrait Photographer

Well, I don’t quite know what to say about 2020. I can say that it’s been a whirlwind of a year, so much so that I didn’t even blog any sessions this year! Between teaching full time, switching to “remote” teaching, helping me kids at home who are also learning remote, all while maintaining my own small business and my sanity… it’s been a stretch for sure!

I can say that I’m still blessed with amazing clients, happy babies, sweet toddlers, adorable siblings, and fun clients for mini session.

Take a look at some of my favorite Mini Session memories from 2020…


So Happy Together | Boston Newborn Photographer

Meet Molly Kate. Such a tiny little lady, already surrounded by so much love. It was such a great day, chatting with her family, while Miss Molly snoozed away. We went with neutrals, shades of purple, and one holiday set, and I love each and every photograph.



There's Always Room for More | Providence Newborn Photographer

I had the best morning with this beautiful family, who just welcomed a new baby sister to the mix. She’s calm and sweet and oh so pretty, and so loved by her parents and big brothers and sister. All of the kiddos were so well behaved, and I love every single image in her gallery.



Sugar and Spice | Providence Baby Photographer

This age is definitely a favorite of mine… just when baby can sit unassisted, but isn’t quite ready for crawling.

Beautiful Maeve was such a pleasure to photograph, with her creamy skin and adorable little smile. I’m already looking forward to her birthday session this winter.



Three of a Kind | Boston Newborn Photographer

This family is always such a pleasure to photograph. The kids are as sweet as they are beautiful, and it was so nice to spend time catching up with their mom and grandma. Baby Henry is oh so loved, and he is such a lucky boy to have so many people love him.



Welcome, Baby | Boston Newborn Photographer

It was such a fun morning, spent with this adorable family. Big sis Ava is sweet and silly, while her baby brother is handsome and calm. I loved watching Ava snuggle with her baby.. already such a good sister! So much for love for one tiny baby.



Another to Love | Boston Newborn Photographer

I love when families return to the studio for the second, or in this case, third baby! It’s so fun to catch up with the parents and see how the older siblings have grown… not to mention get in some sweet baby snuggles. This handsome baby boy is already oh so loved. Welcome, sweet boy.



Happiest Birthday | Boston Baby Photographer

I had the most fun morning with these two sweet faces. We giggled, tickled, sung songs, and had such a fun time. The best part was when big sister decided to help her brother with his cake. And what followed was pure magic. Happy Birthday, handsome boy!



Blue Blue Pink | Boston Newborn Photographer

Meet Marissa. She’s just as sweet as she beautiful, and couldn’t have joined a more loving family. Her big brothers love to snuggle and hold her, and mom and dad are definitely thrilled to have a baby girl to balance out their home. Welcome, sweet little one.



Perfect Pair | Boston Newborn Photographer

I had the pleasure of working with this family almost four years ago for big brother Owen’s newborn session… and I was so excited when I heard he was going to be a big brother. Sweet baby Cora is beautiful and loves her brother oh so much… they are a perfect pair.



Brown Eyed Girl | Boston Baby Photographer

I had such a fun morning meeting this sweet girl, her big brother, and mama. The camera just loves her beautiful baby face, and I loved watching how much her brothers loves her! We already have plans in the works for her birthday session, so we’ll get to see them again in just a few short months.



Somebunny is One! | Boston Children's Photographer

This girl… so sweet and fun and silly and beautiful! Her big sisters were all so excited to celebrate Adaline’s first birthday, and she did not disappoint. So many adorable baby smiles, and she sure loved here cake, too! Happy Birthday, baby girl.



The Big One | Boston First Birthday Photographer

Sweet Cooper was back to celebrate his first birthday! He brought along his beautiful big sister and some super cute baby smiles. We giggled, sang songs, and watched Cooper shyly play with his very own birthday cake. Happy Birthday, sweet boy!



Daddy's Best Friend | Providence Newborn Photographer

It was such a pleasure to spend the morning with this handsome little chunk and his parents. I love the joy and excitement of first time parents, and how they are totally over the moon in love with this new member of their family. We snuggled and laughed, and I can’t wait to watch him grow. Welcome, sweet boy.



Gentle Baby | Boston Newborn Photographer

Everyone loves a new baby… especially when the baby is as sweet and gentle and little Grayson. He was perfectly behaved for his very first portrait session, and loved being wrapped and swaddled. Welcome to the world, sweet boy.
