Preserving the Sacred, However You Choose to Begin

In those early days, everything feels hazy and slow—but fast at the same time. The quiet mornings. The half-drunk coffee. The soft coos. The way your baby folds perfectly into your arms. At Little Lore, we believe this chapter deserves more than a handful of posed images. It deserves to be remembered with care, presence, and story.

Whether you choose to document this season in the cozy calm of our Sherborn studio or in the familiar rhythms of home, every session is designed to preserve the heart of what this time truly feels like.

Why Choose an In-Home Session

There is something undeniably tender about documenting your baby in the space you’ve prepared for them. The light in the nursery. The sound of your dog circling the bassinet. The way your baby fits into the rhythm of your home—before routines set in, before it all changes again.

In-home sessions allow everyone to settle naturally. No rushing out the door, no overstimulation. Just slow, connected time where we follow your baby’s cues and preserve the beauty that’s already there. These sessions are documentary in nature—gentle, sensory, and honest.

Why Choose a Studio Session

For families seeking simplicity or a moment of quiet away from home, our light-filled studio in Sherborn, MA offers a serene, distraction-free environment. Everything is designed for comfort and flow—with soft blankets, warm light, and no pressure to tidy or prepare a space.

Studio sessions are perfect for parents who want a timeless, minimalist look while still preserving emotional connection. You can simply arrive, exhale, and be present.

What Makes Little Lore Different

We don’t use posing pillows or artificial backdrops. We don’t tuck babies into unnatural shapes or dress them in costumes. What we do is watch carefully. We follow the light. We wait for the moment your baby stretches, yawns, settles into you—and then we preserve it.

Every session blends fine art photography with gentle storytelling, and for those who choose our multimedia experience, we include subtle motion clips and natural audio to create a keepsake that feels alive. You won’t just receive beautiful images. You’ll receive a layered memory—something that holds not just what you saw, but what you felt.

What’s Included

Whether at home or in the studio, each newborn session includes:

• A relaxed 1–2 hour session

• A full gallery of edited images (color + B&W)

• Private online gallery for viewing, downloading, and ordering prints

Multimedia add-on (optional):

• Short film including gentle motion and sound

• Voice recordings or audio letters

• 35mm film or Super 8 footage

• Heirloom albums, framed prints, and motion books

📸 Common Moments We Capture

No two babies are the same, but these are the little rituals we often preserve:

• Feeding (breast or bottle)

• Diaper changes and sponge baths

• Rocking, soothing, sleeping

• Older siblings meeting the baby

• Skin-to-skin moments, parent snuggles

• Stretching, yawning, tiny fists in motion

• Reading, singing, or just resting together

We photograph in natural light, without timelines or posing guides. Your baby leads. We follow.

How to Prepare (Simply)

You don’t need to deep-clean or dress up. I’m a mom of two school-aged boys—I truly don’t mind the mess. We’ll send a short guide before your session, but the most important thing to remember is: keep it real.

Soft, neutral clothing photographs beautifully. Swaddles and blankets with texture are lovely. A messy bed can tell a powerful story. All we ask is that you’re present.

🕰 Booking Your Newborn Session

We offer in-home and studio sessions throughout Boston and New England. Because of the emotional depth and time involved in each session, we take on a limited number of clients each month.

To ensure availability in your baby’s first two weeks, we recommend booking while you’re still pregnant. But we always welcome last-minute inquiries when possible.
