Carson | Motherhood Short Sessions | Massachusetts Lifestyle Photographer

Baby Carson and his beautiful mama came to my house for a motherhood short session this March and it just solidified my love for motherhood sessions even more. I certainly didn't think that was even possible... 
These sessions are exclusively for mama's and their babies. 
Why should you consider a motherhood session at my home? Here are some reasons:

1.) You'll be so happy you have photographs of you and your baby because baby's don't keep, and how often are you in front of the lens? They are intimate, special and so sweet.

2.) I have a rack of dresses for you to choose from, so it takes the stress out of picking out an outfit! 

3.) With that being said... you also don't have to clean up your home or worry about where we are going to shoot! Everything will be prepared and ready for you upon your arrival!

4.) Since I don't offer "mini sessions" this is the closest to a "mini" in that it's only 30-40 minutes long, more affordable, and the perfect treat to yourself. 

So, how do you book? Visit my website http://www.elisemeaderphotography.com/contact-me/ and let's pick a date! <3

I'll leave you with this adorable duo... 

The days are long but the years are short.

Lydia | Massachusetts Lifestyle Newborn Photographer

Sweet Lydia graced this beautiful family of four early this month and made this beauty a big sister! The last time I saw this adorable family was when Emme, now 2, was a newborn. So happy to be invited back into their home to capture all the snuggles saved up for their new baby girl. Congratulations Beth & Kyle!

Harrison | Massachusetts Lifestyle Newborn Photographer

Their first child, their first son, everything about this dynamic brought me back to those feelings I felt bringing home my first little boy. Man, there's nothing better. Diana absolutely killed it in the nursery, making this the most adorable and chic jungle themes I've ever seen. Can't get enough of this sweet session. Congratulations Diana and Nick! xo

Blake | Four Month Sessions | Massachusetts Lifestyle Photographer

This blog post is really just a PSA. What public service announcement you ask? Let me share with you the beauty of a four month session. When you think "milestone" sessions, you think newborn, 6 month or (sitter) and first year. Somehow three, four and five months get lost in the mix and I swear to you they're my very favorites! 

This is Blake at four months. She is bright eyed, chubby, interactive and seriously the sweetest most adorable little thing. It's the perfect time to capture the beauty of your scrumptious babe <3
They are eager to smile, grab their toes, interact with their mamas and family, and really just all around delicious. 

So if you haven't seen a 4 month session before, and you're curious to all of my hype over them. Look no further... here's Blake, long live four month sessions- the essence of "baby."

Baby Brother | Massachusetts Lifestyle Newborn Photographer

This family without a doubt made photographing them a complete dream. 
They were natural, sweet, kind, lovable and oozing with love over their new baby boy. 
Their home was filled with love and light and I am completely in love with how the session turned out. 
Moving here from California, she told me she was looking for a lifestyle photographer to capture the welcoming of her baby and stumbled upon me on the internet. I think that is such an incredible compliment that among all of the talent here in Massachusetts, she happened to find me and choose me. 
I am so grateful that she did <3

All of my love to this beautiful family of five...

Caleb | Massachusetts Lifestyle Newborn Photographer

My first sweet newborn of 2016 couldn't have been more squishy and sweet. He was welcomed home with so much love and joy. He's got a big brother who is already so excited and willing to help momma with the feedings and snuggles. It really melted my heart<3
I am so excited to document more newborns this year and really bright light to all the love that surrounds them. 
Welcome, baby Caleb. You are loved. 

Forest | Massachusetts Lifestyle Newborn

I can't even explain how sweet and amazing this family is. They welcomed their sweet baby boy, Forest, into the world just 3 short weeks ago. He is beyond precious. His sweet big sister totally stole my heart, too. I told them I'm totally down to babysit, any day of the week. I'm putting it in writing. Maybe they'll take me up on it one day? 

Enjoy all of the sweetness and congratulations to the new family of four. From experience, it's a really great number<3 

Central Massachusetts | Fresh 48 | St. Vincent's Hospital, Worcester

Oh this family... they welcomed their third son into the world just over a week ago and my GOSH is he a dream boat. Mom and I spoke and we talked about capturing just the candid, raw, unposed moments during the first days of his life. There's nothing I enjoy more than just freezing happy moments in time. This family is beautiful inside and out and I hope they look back on these images and feel nothing but joy and love<3

Congratulations to this amazing family of 5.

Massachusetts Newborn Photographer | Fresh 48

Fresh 48. What is it? So many people are unsure about this type of session so I'd love to explain it a little deeper.

Fresh 48 is my very favorite session for families. It's a small moment in time when the world stops and you're just completely focused on this new life you've created and welcomed into your loving arms. Documenting this time in your life is truly amazing. Looking back on images of your child's wrinkly and fresh baby feet, or how small their head is cradled in dad's hands are priceless. These are the details you'll long for and wish desperately to get back. Capturing them and having a professional do nothing but seek these moments out for you to keep forever is a gift!

A Fresh 48 session is taken place during visiting hours only. It is a quicker session as it is under an hour and it is solely to capture the beautiful moments of those first few days of life. It is intimate and it is surreal and there is truly NOTHING like it. Nothing posed, nothing forced, just straight joy and beauty. 

I had the honor and pleasure of photographing my best friends baby just hours after he entered this world. Their first born. I can't express the joy I felt walking into that room. It was quiet. It was emotional and it was happy. So very happy. 
He was born after the sun went down and I went back a few days later. I'm so happy to hand these over to them. 

A session definitely worth considering <3
