Well, you heart has just exited your body ... and is now just ... out in the world? (They say someday your heart will move out and get its own apartment; ridiculous.) I love documenting this dream-like bubble of time for new parents because I know how cherished these images become. You will never believe they were this small, or that they could still get that look on their face.

Bump to Baby
Elisa and Winston in Cambridge
Elisa and Winston's newborn session took place in their beautiful plant-filled Somerville home for ultimate coziness, ease, and intimacy. We ended the session with a short walk around their neighborhood.
I love hearing my clients' birth stories!

Lifestyle Newborn session
Molly & Nick in Somerville
Molly and Nick welcomed Frankie into their home while in the middle of some major renovation, which was running late (as these things always do)! They wondered if we should relocate due to the construction mess. We actually wound up doing half the session right in the middle of it, just being strategic with angles.
At the end of the session, Molly's best friend since the age of 2 arrived for a visit, bringing her baby who is just a couple of months older than Frankie! I had just packed up but couldn't resist getting taking a quick photo of their babies meeting each other.

Lifestyle newborn session
Melissa and Zach in Somerville
I met Melissa and Zach when they stopped by my space at Somerville Open Studios, initially there to browse the poetry books sold by my studio-mate. They were very pregnant. "We should also totally do this!" they said, and signed up for their newborn session that day.
We planned a cozy winter session inside their home, complete with jammies. They were visibly overflowing with love.

Lifestyle newborn session
Lisa and Adam in medford
Lisa and Adam welcomed their daughter Sophia in July. They're both music lovers and piano players, and adept at holding a baby and playing at the same time! Their Medford home is right across the street from an entrance into the Fells where they walk often, so we followed their in-home session with a quick walk in the woods. Sophia didn't seem to mind.

Bump to Baby
Cami & Henry in Somerville
We photographed Cami and Henry's maternity session in my Somerville studio, and then a couple of days after Arthur was born they got in touch to schedule their session in their cozy home in Somerville.
"He's a great sleeper, with a great head of hair!" they said. Check and check.

Jamie & Mike in Newburyport
Jamie and Mike had a long journey to Susanna's arrival, so everyone was extra excited to meet her! I met up with them at Anna Jaques Hospital in Newburyport when Susanna was just a little over a day old.

So many moments in parenthood feel absolutely, beautifully unforgettable. They wrap right into our DNA and change us; we relive them often and tell them as family stories. A song comes on the radio and it forever transports us to late nights rocking the baby to that particular refrain.
Photographs allow us to take our loved ones with us into the memory. One of my favorite things growing up was going through my parents' pictures of us together when I was a baby. I still look at them with wonder; the photos feel like they are the key to something. I glean something new every time I revisit them, like a sacred text that illuminates new truths with different contexts and perspectives.
And here's the wonderful, tragic truth: often times, we think we'll remember every single precious detail, but with time together new beautiful memories crowd in. How small were those little hands? How did your first child react when meeting your second? And equally importantly: what did you look like back then? How did you look at them?
My passion is making authentic images that will be precious to you today, five, ten, fifteen and forty years from now; and also, priceless to all the people in this family you're creating forever.
Send me a note and I'll respond uncannily fast! (Okay okay, this part is automated.) I'll send you all my package information, and then I'll follow up personally with a few thoughts and questions for you to think about as we envision your session. Don't worry, it's all fun to mull over!
1. Say Hello
2. Planning your session
Once we mutually decide we're a good fit, you'll select your date and photo package. When your contract and session fee is paid, you're officially booked!
I have a list of outdoor locations that I know photograph beautifully, which I'll share as a starting point for any sessions not held in-home or at my studio. Each session is personalized to you specifically: things you like to do, where you like to go, and how you live. I'm always excited to see where the next family takes me!
Don't know what to wear? How clean to make your house? Don't worry, I'm here for you every step of the way! The minute your session is booked, I send you a link to my personal stylist's calendar so that you can book your complimentary "Styling 101" virtual session for personalized outfit advice based on your session and what you have in your closet.
I'll also send you my session preparation guide a couple of weeks before your session, with general tips on what make good photo session snacks for hungry kids, how to pretend-tidy a room, and quick wardrobe tips in case you didn't have time for the styling session.
At any point, I welcome your questions! I want your session to be my favorite one ever! Text or email away!
3. Helping you prepare
Hip hip hooray, it's photo session day! I allot extra time for newborn sessions to allow room for slow movements in potentially recovering new parents, baby diaper changes and feedings, and anything else anyone might need. We'll start with a quick tour of your home and any remaining questions or requests you have, and I'll suggest where to begin from there.
Today is totally stress-free and everything you're doing is perfect.
4. let's Do it!
Within two weeks of your photo session date, I'll send you a link to your online gallery full of beautiful hand-edited, high resolution images. I will be super excited. You will be super excited. It's a party!
You'll also receive your print credit or instructions for selecting your album images at this time. Print orders take 3-7 days to process, and albums can take up to 20. If you need a rush order, just let me know!

Oh Adrianne, these are so wonderful!!
So beautifully done and the coloring is superb. You even captured some of our chaos! We now have to pick which ones we want to blow up and print, and that’s going to be a tough decision because there isn’t a bad photo in the whole bunch. Thank you so much!

Adrianne's a photographer with soul. It's an amazing thing to see the world through her eyes. She puts you at ease, embraces the weird and funky and intimate, and makes you look more like yourself than you ever thought possible, completely joyful in the presence of your favorite people. I kind of wish she lived in my closet so that she could capture my family all the time.

Adrianne! I didn't get a chance to email you officially (though I've obviously already shared some images over social media) but we LOVE the photo gallery! You made us look like models! So grateful that you captured our family in this way at this time. It changes so fast, but we really will have fond memories of this time with our son, before everything "goes back to normal."

You literally have no idea how these photos made me feel tonight. I’ve had such a rough day and I cried because these photos are so beautiful. I CANNOT wait to get cards printed!
Thank you for being incredible.
