PORTRAIT experience
No matter what season you're in - newly engaged, married for years, celebrating the birth of a new little one, or documenting your precious family - I look forward to photographing your story!
Photoshoots can be overwhelming at times - I completely get it! Choosing outfits, picking locations, setting a time; it can all feel like a process, but don't you worry! Allow me to step in and help you with everything. Your only job will be to relax, be yourself, laugh a lot, and have fun. I will take care of the rest. Your session will be unique to you, and we will capture your vision. You'll want to remember all of it, and I'm so glad you're here. Let's get started! Life is constantly changing day by day! With more time comes new reasons to celebrate: graduations, new babies, growing families, and more! These special times in your life deserve to be captured by something more than your iPhone. Every milestone should be celebrated! Searching for a photographer is the first step to preserving your memories. High five to you for beginning the process! You are in the right place, and you are in great hands.
The most important thing we have in this world is each other. Family is the glue that shapes and holds us together. And there is nothing more beautiful than the image of a family’s bond and devotion. No matter what walk of life, love is love, and I’m here to capture all of it!

Pregnancy is a time of new beginnings of joy, anticipation, and wonder. With a mother’s reverence for this miraculous life stage, I take the time and care to capture your journey in all its splendor.
From those first moments together to the first month's discoveries, becoming a mother is simply magical. Connecting with your newborn baby is a time so precious and fleeting that it deserves to be captured and cherished for years to come.
First smiles, sitting up, first solid food, and taking those big first steps–one year can hold so much! Celebrate your little one’s biggest year of firsts with portraits to last a lifetime.
Whether a seasonal celebration or just because, mini sessions are the perfect addition to your family’s picture gallery, and also make a wonderful gift for loved ones (a favorite for grandparents!).
First impressions for professionals should be done by a professional. Put your best face forward with a personalized photoshoot that captures not only who you are but who you wish to become.
The question was popped. And answered. Now begins the fun! From romantic engagement photos to the big day itself, celebrating the love shared between two people is a privilege that I take special care in crafting and honoring.
Reflecting the joy of being a family means creating a session filled with fun and laughter. While classic photos are always wonderful, I truly enjoy capturing the natural moments and happened upon exchanges of candid shots. A child's face lighting up when a parent says something silly, a parent's smile when their child whispers a “secret” to them, and the visible love that is able to be frozen for a quick moment.
Your session will start with a few standard photos to get everyone comfortable with the camera. From there, your family’s unique light can shine through various engaging activities –finding the prettiest leaf, racing each other, or snuggling close together. The result is a collective of beautiful, heartfelt photos filled with natural smiles. Family sessions are 45 to 60 minutes and are offered at various locations. I’m happy to suggest some of my favorite spots or to come to your family wherever you are!

Q: THE CUSTOM PHOTOGRAPHY EXPERIENCE
WHY HIRE A PROFESSIONAL?
A: Custom portraiture is an investment in beautiful artistry that will be treasured for generations to come and I am committed to capturing your family in an original, artistic, natural way, creating the heirlooms that will become your family’s history.
I take a natural approach to creating heirloom imagery for individuals and families. I love to photograph you in real, meaningful settings that convey the essence of who you are and what you love. I work hard to make sure the entire process is stress-free for my clients from start to finish, with the end result being beautifully crafted photo prints and products to be treasured for many years to come.
I have been taking professional portraits since 2012 for a wide variety of clients. Many of the people I photograph have become my friends for years to come. I completely and absolutely love what I do!
Q: WHERE WILL THE SESSION TAKE PLACE?
A: Our session will take place either in my studio or on location of a mutually agreed upon place.
Q: HOW TO PLAN FOR MY SESSION?
A: Planning in advance is the key to success! If your family or child has a daily routine, it's best to schedule the photo session in a way that works with, not against, this routine. I am here to make your session a success, and will work with you individually to find a time and place that fits the family!
Q: WHAT KINDS OF PHOTOSHOPPING DO YOU DO?
A: I won't alter the way you look other than temporary things like a blemish, bruise or cut if asked. I also don't edit wardrobe issues like bra straps, so please be sure to wear items you are happy with. If there are people on background, I will edit them out, but won't alter a location other than that. If there is additional editing that you'd like to request that goes beyond this, you can put in a request and I will create a custom quote based on the complexity of the edits you have in mind.
Q: WHAT ABOUT WEATHER?
A: If we've chosen an outdoor location for your photos, we will most likely be at the mercy of the weather! If the day turns out to be extremely hot, which can be dangerous and frustrating for the family, I will find an alternate date for the photos. Similarly, for rainstorms, snow, or extreme cold, I would rather reschedule than push everyone into an uncomfortable place!
Q: WHAT IS YOUR RESCHEDULING/CANCELATION POLICY?
A: Local sessions: All sessions require a 30% non-refundable retainer, which goes towards the total session cost. If canceled, the retainer will be forfeited. If you request to reschedule with at least 14 days notice, the retainer can be applied toward a future session within six months. Only one reschedule will be permitted. If the session s less than 14 days away, a new retainer will need to be made to secure a new date.
Travel sessions: Your 50% retainer is non-refundable and any changes to the date will result in a new retainer needing to be made to secure a new date.
Q: WHAT IF MY KIDS DON'T COOPERATE?
A: I don't expect kids to "be good" during their session. In fact, if they get a little naughty, that will probably get us some genuine smiles and laughter. What you can do is allow your child to be themselves. The kids are in charge! Try not to tell them no or scold them for anything during our time together and your photos will turm out happy and carefree! The real moments, uncontrollable giggles, and wind in your hair is the actual goal here, not forced or fake smiles.

Feel beautiful at every angle
Q: WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO HAVE A MATERNITY SESSION?
A: It's best to schedule your maternity session between 32 and 37 weeks, for your comfort, mobility and to ensure we are capturing your gorgeous bump. It also allows a little extra time at the end in case your little one is in a rush to meet you earlier than expected!
I love to schedule my maternity sessions in the early morning or late afternoon (starting about an hour after sunrise and an hour before sunset are usually the best times) but I am happy to be guided by you and what times you feel best during the day – and our session will only go for an hour so you don’t need to worry about being on your feet for too long.
Q: CAN MY PARTNER AND CHILDREN BE INVOLVED IN THE MATERNITY SESSION AS WELL?
A: Yes, of course. It's super important to me that I'm capturing how you and your family feel about adding a new member to the family!
Q: WHAT DO WE WEAR IN OUR BUMP SESSION?
A: For mama's-to-be, the most important thing is that you wear something you feel comfortable in. If you feel comfortable, it’s best to wear clothes that are tight around your belly, so we can see it (and that way you don’t need to hold your hand on your belly the whole time).
Simple, neutral colors are best (cream, grey, blues, dark olive greens and other similar colours always work well in front of the camera. After booking your session, you'll access to my preparation guide with more tips and guides for choosing our outfits.
Q: HOW MUCH IS A MATERNITY SESSION?
A: Maternity session start at $445 for a one hour session on location or studio. ADD OUTDOOR MATERNITY MINI SESSION AND RECEIVE 10 ADDITIONAL IMAGES FOR ONLY $195. I also offer MATERNITY + NEWBORN FAMILY FULL SESSION BUNDLE. Payment plans are available upon request.

The first 48 hours with your newborn are unlike anything else.
It’s little things like the tiny hospital bracelet around their tiny ankle, the hospital bassinet where they spent their first few sleeps right by your side, and the bed where you cuddled and recovered as a newly expanded family. Add Fresh 48 session to any newborn or maternity session, and we’ll make sure all of those details are documented.
Q: WHEN AND WHERE WILL IT TAKE PLACE?
A: The session will take place at the place of delivery (hospital, home, or birthing center) They are scheduled within the first 48 hours after delivery during daylight hours.
Q: DO I NEED PERMISSION FROM THE HOSPITAL?
A: Please ask and ensure photographers are allowed. In almost all cases they are treated as just a visitor so it’s generally okay.
Q: HOW LONG WILL YOU BE THERE?
A: Approximately 1-2 hours.
Q: WHEN IS BEST TIME FOR PHOTOGRAPHS?
A: It’s best to do them during the day before 2pm.
Q: WHEN SHOULD I CONTACT YOU TO COME?
A: I ask that you contact me (or someone does) after you go into labor so we can ensure availability for the suggested time-frame.
Q: WHAT SHOULD WE WEAR?
A: You really don’t need to worry about this too much…my primary desire is that you feel comfortable. I would recommend soft neutral clothing for the postpartum mom, and jeans/casual shirt or outfit for your partner. A nice robe (not Terry cloth. ha!), or cardigan sweater can provide comfortable layers and texture to the photos. Your baby can be in just a swaddle blanket, a simple white or other solid color newborn onesie or newborn gown. It’s that simple.
Q: ARE NEWBORN PHOTOS SAFE?
A: Yes, my photography sessions are quite safe. I’m a mother myself, and also worked for few years as a pediatric nurse, so I’m quite experienced with handling newborns, and fully understand the health implications of the newborn period. I’m also fully vaccinated for Covid-19 and all other recommended adult vaccines including the influenza vaccine. I firmly believe in the importance of frequent hand washing when working with a newborn, and the baby is pretty much either held in the parents arms, on the bed, or in the hospital bassinet for the session.
Q: CAN SIBLINGS BE PRESENT FOR THE FRESH 48 NEWBORN PHOTO SESSION?
A: Yes, of course!! Capturing those first moments of big brother and/or big sister meeting their new little sibling are priceless memories. **This is currently dependent on the child visitor policy regarding Covid-19 for your hospital, but in my book they are always welcome.

Q: WHY SHOULD YOU HIRE ME AS YOUR NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHER?
A: My passion is working with fresh new babies. I absolutely love everything about a newborn and watching a family grow.
I have photographed many many newborns. I have been professionally mentored / trained by some of the industries leading newborn photographers. I am fully insured. Safety is my number one priority during your session.
I have the most amazing newborn props and a fully stocked studio designed specifically for newborn photography.
I have a very successful workflow that I follow with almost all my newborn sessions. Sessions are also very baby-led, meaning I follow the movement of your sweet little baby, and work accordingly to make sure baby is happy and comfortable at all times.
Q: WHEN TO BOOK YOUR NEWBORN SESSION?
A: The best time to photograph a newborn baby is when they are under two weeks of age, although this is a guideline. We have had newborns as old as 9 weeks in our newborn studio, so if you’re interested and feel you may have missed the window please contact us! You can contact me at any time during your pregnancy to give me an estimated due date, I will then make a tentative booking and when you arrive home from hospital with your brand new baby you can contact me to arrange a suitable time and day for your session.
Q: WHERE YOUR SESSION IS HELD?
A: My private newborn studio is located in N.Attleboro, Ma. We have a kid-friendly waiting area, complete with snacks for siblings and coffee/sparkling water for mom & dad.
Newborn sessions are by appointment only and take place Monday-Friday, typically in the morning hours. Our studio closes at 5pm daily.
Q: HOW LONG IS YOUR NEWBORN SESSION?
A: Newborn sessions can take 1-3 hours, allowing enough time for feeding and comforting. Although, most sessions last 1-2 hours…and some finish in 45 minutes! It really depends on your sweet babe.
Q: WHEN WILL YOUR SESSION BE READY TO VIEW & ORDER?
A: You will see your first images within hours of leaving our studio and your full session will be ready 7-10 days after your session. When your session is ready for you I will contact you to schedule your in person ordering session. Your order is ready for pickup in boutique packaging 3-4 weeks (often sooner) after you place your order!
Q: DO WE OFFER A PACKAGE THAT INCLUDE BOTH MATERNITY & NEWBORN SESSIONS?
A: Yes! It’s the BUMP to BABY collection. It includes two sessions to BEST document this amazing season of life.

Baby Milestone sessions are a shorter (yet still sweet!) session that captures your baby at their next milestone. The most common milestones to document are 4 months when they are starting to smile and show their little personalities, and then 8 months or once baby is sitting up unassisted.
Cake Smash sessions are done around baby's first birthday and are such a fun way to celebrate the first year of their life! Sessions take place in my studio on weekday mornings, and include: (1) simple smash cake and images of just baby alone in 2-3 different outfits, (2) baby (hopefully!) smashing their cake and (3) a warm bath in a tiny claw foot tub to clean off all that frosting (and capture some extra adorableness!).
Parents are always welcome to hop into some images with their little one. I provide a thoughtful portrait experience that allows you to focus on the moment rather than the details and stress of planning. My expansive studio wardrobe has several beautiful options for you to utilize for your session, so no need to waste any time trying to find something for everyone to wear.
I RECOMMEND BOOKING YOUR BABY MILESTONE SESSIONS A FEW MONTHS IN ADVANCE, AS I ONLY ACCEPT A LIMITED NUMBER OF SESSIONS PER MONTH TO ENSURE I AM ABLE TO FULLY SERVE MY CLIENTS!

Session details & FAQs
What can be more of a treasure than having your baby's first year documented?
Q: WHAT ARE THE BEST MILESTONES TO CAPTURE?
A: After the newborn session, month 4 and month 8 (or whenever baby is sitting up 100% unassisted) are the most common milestones to capture. Truly, any time you feel you want to capture your baby I highly recommend doing so, they grow way too fast!
Q: WHEN SHOULD I BOOK MY BABY MILESTONE SESSION?
A: As soon as possible! I take a limited number of sessions per month so I can serve my clients well. Most clients book 2-3 months in advance.
Q: DO YOU SELL JUST THE DIGITAL IMAGES?
A: All of my collections include a set number of digital images and a print credit. I realize we live in a digital-age so it is my job to show you what archival, heirloom prints and unique artwork look and feel like when you come into my studio. That way, after the session you have a better idea of how you will spend your print credit. Baby's First Year Collective clients join for the beautiful heirloom album that is made after the completion of all the sessions, its the perfect way to remember the first year of your baby's life!
Q: DO YOU OFFER ANY DISCOUNTS ON BOOKING MULTIPLE SESSIONS?
A: YES! Sessions can be done individually or combined with a generous discount by choosing the Baby's First Year Collective. Most clients planning on more than one sessions opt for the Collective for the amazing savings and discount on the beautiful, heirloom album of images taken over the span of all four sessions.
Q: DO YOU OFFER PAYMENT PLANS?
A: Absolutely! I realize that a luxury portrait experience is a big investment that many clients will budget and save up for. I can assure you that you will never regret an investment that is preserving these memories of your family. Please contact me so we can further discuss a payment plan that fits your needs.
Q: WHAT CAN I EXPECT THE DAY OF MY SESSION?
A: My sessions take place on weekday mornings in my private studio. I have a comfortable sitting area for immediate family with snacks and refreshments, some small toys and activities for little ones as well as a private bathroom and dressing room. Sessions are always baby-led and allow for breaks for baby to eat and snuggle if needed. Baby Milestone sessions are shorter than newborn sessions (but still so sweet) and typically under an hour. Cake Smash sessions are more involved and are about an hour to hour and a half.
Q: WHAT SHOULD WE WEAR?
A: Wardrobe is the most important part so we work closely together in planning your session and ensuring that you feel prepared and excited. My client wardrobe is available to use with lots of beautiful baby clothes as well as dresses for mom. There is also wardrobe options for dads and siblings that you are more than welcome to use. You will receive a prep-guide prior to the session with favorite shops, personal styling tips and suggestions on colors and prints that I have found photograph best.
Q: WHAT HAPPENS AFTER MY SESSION?
A: A sneak peek (or two!) will be posted on my social media pages within 3 days of the session. Your final downloadable gallery will be delivered via e-mail 2-3 weeks after your session along with access to my online shop of fine-art prints and professional products. It is through this exclusive shop where you will be able to spend your print credit. All of my Collections include a set number of digital images and a print credit. Additional digital images may be purchased through online shop. Your print credit may be used for prints, products or digital image files.

A headshot is more than just a photo – it is an integral part of your unique brand, and often a first impression to others. As such, it should communicate key characteristics about you without the use of words. Your headshot should capture how you wish others to perceive you, so a quick snapshot in terrible lighting just won’t do. Put your best face forward with a high quality professional headshot of which to be proud.

WHAT TO EXPECT BEFORE, DURING AND AFTER YOUR SHOOT:
Your life-changing branding session starts with a pre-shoot zoom call where we will discuss inspirations and other creative ideas for your shoot. We can collaborate on wardrobe choices, choose your hair and make-up look and any other details to make your branding shoot into a reality.
Then comes the big day! From the moment you arrive at the studio your day of pampering begins. My amazing glam squad will get started on your stylish makeover, while my team finalizes the set-up for your personal branding photography session. We will work together to make amazing art through branding images.
I will encourage you and give professional direction in order to create excellent and professional portraits I will help shine a light on your confidence throughout your personal branding session.
Q: WHAT DO I WEAR FOR PROFESSIONAL HEADSHOTS?
A: It depends on your personality, industry and where the photos will be placed!
For more conservative industries like law and finance, I recommend the standard suit-and-tie, or female equivalent.
Otherwise, the best rule-of-thumb is to take a look around LinkedIn to see how peers and senior executives in your industry are dressed. Make sure to pay closer attention to people who are successful vs whomever is in your immediate network.
Remember, dress for the job you want, not the job you have. If you’re still not sure, then ask me! We’re always happy to provide guidance.
Q: HOW DO I POSE FOR PROFESSIONAL HEADSHOTS?
A: No need to go crazy on your poses for professional headshots. In my sessions, I tend to focus on minimalist poses.
I am, after all, showcasing your professionalism — not my photography.
At the beginning of your session, you should warm up with simple and straightforward poses. Simply stand there and smile.
Later, I will work toward some arms-crossed headshots and perhaps a couple candids.
Q: WHAT BACKDROPS ARE BEST FOR PROFESSIONAL HEADSHOTS?
A: For more conservative industries like law and finance, I recommend neutral backdrops based in white, gray or black. With those colors, I can get some really crisp shots that convey reliability and consistency.
If you work in creative industries, non-profits, or tech, and you’d like your photos to have a bit more “pop,” feel free to pick a colored studio backdrop or try an outdoor/in-office session. These photos often have a bit more personality.
If you’re a senior executive, entrepreneur or thought-leader, you should probably have several photos of yourself that you can use across platforms. Ideally, you would have a couple outdoor photos to supplement your studio headshots.
If you have the same exact headshot on LinkedIn, the company website, and press releases, it can look a bit amateurish.
Q: HOW SHOULD I PREPARE FOR PROFESSIONAL HEADSHOTS?
A: There are three keys to preparing for your headshot ahead of time.
First, if possible, try to get some sleep, exercise, and sunshine in the weeks before your session. I will edit/airbrush your selected photos before delivering them to you, but your preparation will help ensure that the photos look as natural as possible.
Second, make sure to briefly wear your desired clothing a couple days before your session. You want to make sure that your outfits still fits properly and doesn’t need dry cleaning.
Third, take a look at some prior photos of yourself and see if there are any that you particularly like. When you arrive at the studio, show those photos to me, and that will help us find an angle that you find flattering.
Q: WHAT IF I'M NOT PHOTOGENIC OR HATE GETTING MY PHOTO TAKEN?
A: We’ve got you covered! Most portrait photographers are unfortunately guilty of creating a cringe-y environment for their clients. They force you into awkward poses and don’t truly understand what clients are looking for from their session. Either that, or they rush you through the session.
I strive to create a fun & stress-free environment for every client. At my studio, we play upbeat music and constantly get feedback from the client so that I can work towards an amazing headshot that you’ll be proud to show online.

Irina is fantastic. She has been taking photos of our family since our almost 4-year-old son was an infant. She always captures beautiful moments. She is great at somehow getting perfect smiles even when my kids do not want to be getting photos taken! I am always happy with the result. She is kind, friendly, and excellent at what she does! We feel very lucky to have her capturing our little family!
