At home, where your baby is most comfortable.
I've been a baby photographer for a long time, and I've always said that taking newborn photos at home is the best place to do it. Babies are comfortable, you have everything you need right on hand, there's no commuting anywhere... it's just easy.
I consider any session from 0-4 months a "newborn" session, so pick a time that works best for you and your new baby.

Additional Options
COFFEETABLE ALBUMS
My heirloom albums are the perfect way to preserve your images and look back on your baby's photos for years to come. You can select any photos you'd like from your session and I will design layouts for you in a custom coffeetable album. The photos are printed on thick, cardstock pages. If you'd like a book made combining photos from multiple photoshoots we take over your baby's first year, consider my Baby's First Year Package. Additional copies of my albums are $175.

MATERNITY MINISHOOT
Would you consider a minishoot at home to celebrate your bump before your new baby arrives? That's my favorite, doing belly pictures as a minishoot... because we don't need a zillion maternity photos, we just need a handful to remember this time. Learn more here.

About Jess McDaniel
I'm a family photographer, and because I've been doing it so long I've naturally started doing senior photos, too. (My first babies from the early days of Boston Baby Photos are all booking their senior photoshoots now, and nothing makes me happier.)
I travel anywhere within an hour of Boston for photoshoots. Outside of photography, I truly love The Container Store, salty food and my husband and daughters. And not necessarily in that order.
Don't have a newborn but you'd love to hear more about my messy minishoots at home for 9-18 month old babies, or my minishoots in the Public Garden for older kiddos? I'd love to chat with you!
