Brighton, MA Hospital Session| Boston Newborn Photographer

Before heading over to St. Elizabeth’s in Brighton to photograph baby Liam, I had only done one hospital session ever- my own. I so wish that I could offer these to my clients regularly, but since I’m also a teacher, I am only able to offer them during the summer months. Hospital sessions may be messy, lacking good light (although we had pretty good light at both this session and in my own post-partum room at Mt. Auburn), and hard to coordinate, but in my opinion, SO worth documenting. I frequently look back at the photos I took of Greyson and my husband 24 hours after he was born, and hope that baby Liam’s mom and dad will, too.

Oh hey! I’m Melissa, a Boston family & newborn photographer, but I like to refer to myself as a toddler-whispering, child-taming, photographic ninja.
