Natick Massachusetts Newborn and Family Photographer - Sara Sniderman Photography

At the end of this maternity photo session this mom-to-be said “that was fun”. To her this was probably a little comment, but to me it meant so much. It is so important to me that my clients not only love their pictures, but that their session is also a great experience. Those three words […]

Natick Massachusetts Newborn and Family Photographer - Sara Sniderman Photography

“My kids aren’t good at smiling at the camera.”  This is a concern that parents often express when booking a family photo session.  This is completely ok for my sessions. 95% of the photos I take aren’t looking ones where everyone is looking at the camera and smiling.  Although I try to get at least […]

Family smiles at each other during family photo session with Sara Sniderman Photography at Oak Grove Park, Millis Massachusetts

This sweet family gifted grandma an extended family session for her birthday.  It was so fun to see the whole family together laughing and playing.  Extended family sessions are always special, but I think they seem extra special during the pandemic.  Families have been apart and are celebrating and documenting coming back together. I love […]

I had my first in home newborn session this week since the pandemic started. In the hours leading up to the session I was nervous, but it all came back to me like muscle memory! I can’t wait for the few newborn sessions I have coming up this summer! If you are having a baby […]

Mini sessions can be a good option for some families, but I do think sometimes they aren’t the best option for all families. They can are a good option for families who just want a few photos and who have kids who warm up quickly and like having their photos taken.  Mini sessions are also a great option for […]

This Dad deserves an award after this session.  He was on duty for wrangling the two big sisters. Boy did their two year old like to run :).  I know he was hot and tired, but he was such a good sport about it.  A good attitude is so important for getting great photos! With […]

Parent hold baby and walk through field during outdoor newborn photo session with Sara Sniderman Photograph in Natick Massachusetts

This outdoor newborn session was so much fun!  I love when clients are relaxed and are up for trying out my ideas.  We had planned on using another location, but I emailed them a few days beforehand saying Heard Farm, Wayland MA probably only had a few days left of blooms.  They were on board for a […]

Becoming an older sibling isn’t an easy adjustment. This is why I am super go-with-the-flow with big siblings during newborn sessions. I encourage them to take sibling photos with their baby, but give lots of breaks. We really only need at least a few seconds of cooperation here and there to snap away and get […]

I always love when families take maternity photos and then newborn photos.  It is so special to see the parents’ anticipation and excitement for meeting their new baby and then to get to actually meet that baby. We did the maternity session in their backyard, so we decided to use another location for their newborn session.  […]
