Nicole Baas is a Boston-based family photography specialist. With hybrid film and digital work she crafts refined, timeless newborn, baby and children portraits that tell your family's story.
I specialise in family photography in Boston and greater New England, bringing a refined, classical eye to newborn, baby and children portraits. As a family photography specialist, my work focuses on capturing the small, honest moments—the quiet gestures, the spontaneous laughter, and the gestures that become family lore. I shoot with a hybrid film and digital approach to create heirloom-quality images that feel timeless and true to you. Why choose Nicole Baas Photography? My practice is rooted in refined elegance and classical portraiture. I aim to photograph families with sensitivity and calm, turning potentially busy or awkward sessions into relaxed, meaningful experiences. Whether you’re welcoming a newborn, documenting the toddler years, or gathering for a multi-generation portrait, I frame each session to preserve the emotion and relationships that matter most. The result is a curated body of photographs you’ll return to for decades. What makes my approach special is the balance of intention and ease. I combine documentary observation with gentle direction—allowing natural interactions to lead while offering subtle guidance when beautiful portraits emerge. Shooting both film and digital gives my work depth and variation: film brings warmth and quiet tones, while digital offers clarity and flexibility. Together they deliver a cohesive gallery of images that feel editorial yet intimate. How we work together: I begin with a conversation to understand your family, the milestones you want to capture, and the locations that matter—whether an in-home newborn session, a favorite Boston park, or a seaside moment in Nantucket. On the day I create a calm atmosphere for children and parents alike, moving at your family’s pace and encouraging real connection instead of forced poses. After the shoot I carefully edit and sequence your images so the final collection reads as a story—ready for prints, albums, or digital keepsakes. My work is driven by a love for documenting life’s evolving chapters. If you’re looking for a Boston family photographer who values emotion, craftsmanship and heirloom-quality results, I’d love to photograph your family’s next chapter and create images that will be cherished for generations.
