As a Dover, MA newborn photographer, I photograph these moments in your home using natural light, gentle direction, and a documentary-inspired approach that allows your family to simply be yourselves.
There is something incredibly special about bringing your baby home to the place you've spent so much time making your own. The nursery you've carefully designed. The morning light coming through your bedroom windows. Your older child climbing into your arms to meet their new sibling. The tiny details that somehow become a blur just weeks later.
My goal isn't to create a perfect version of this season.
It's to create beautiful photographs and films that let you remember the real one.

I highly recommend Taryn Pratt for newborn or family photography! Throughout our newborn photo shoot, she was so patient and made it all such a relaxed and positive experience. We received the photos and mini video super fast, within a few days. They are amazing and will be cherished for many years to come! Highly recommend!!
"They...will be cherished for many years to come!"

Taryn was a phenomenal photographer who handled our newborn session. She was incredibly friendly and professional working with our whole family (including our two other kids) and was able to capture some truly amazing photos. As a treat, she also put together the sweetest video capturing the session. We will definitely be reaching out to her in the future.

This isn’t about creating perfectly posed images—it’s about preserving a season that changes faster than you expect.

With its spacious homes, quiet residential setting, and beautifully designed nurseries, Dover offers a natural backdrop for an in-home newborn session. Rather than packing up your new baby and heading to a studio, we can document these first days right where your family feels most comfortable. We'll use the natural light throughout your home, incorporate the nursery and meaningful details you've chosen for your baby, and capture the quiet interactions that happen naturally between you, your newborn, and your family. For parents who value privacy, convenience, and a relaxed experience, in-home newborn photography allows you to settle into the session without ever having to leave the comfort of home.
Because home is where these memories begin.

Dover Newborn Photography and Heirloom Films
Alongside your newborn photography experience, I also create cinematic newborn films that capture the little movements, sounds, and connections that make this season so fleeting. It’s a meaningful way for Dover families to preserve the feeling of those first days, not just how they looked in photographs.
There’s something incredibly special about capturing your baby’s earliest days: the tiny yawns, sleepy stretches, and quiet movements you never want to forget. While photos preserve the still moments, film brings them to life. I create cinematic newborn films you’ll return to year after year - just like I do with my own children.
In addition to photography, I offer artful newborn films allowing families to preserve movement, connection, and emotion.

Questions
Do you travel to Dover for in-home newborn sessions?
Do you photograph siblings during newborn sessions?
I absolutely do! I actually recommend in-home sessions as it shows the beauty of your home in Dover as well as the real first moments of your little one's life at home.
I am a firm believer that all newborn sessions should include images of the entire family. I know older siblings can be wiggly so I try to work the play aspect into our newborn session as well and get photos documenting what this stage of life looks like - whether that's the new sibling holding the newborn, or just playing with dad while mom holds baby on the couch.
When should I book my dover newborn session?
I accept a limited number of newborn sessions each month so that I can create an artful and purposeful experience for each of my newborn famliles. In order to ensure availability, most families book during the third trimester. However, if your baby is already born, you may still reach out and see if I have any available mornings!
Do you offer newborn films in dover?
Absolutely! Most of my families don't realize truly how much they will love their newborn film until they see it but that is part of the magic! I think everyone needs a newborn film so they can watch it each year on their child's birthday.
How old should my newborn be for my session?
I recommend that newborns be betweent the ages of two to four weeks old. That being said, this is your session and I'm happy to wait a little later too!
What if my home doesn't have enough natural light?
While my signature look does show light and bright imagery, I have mastered the art of using flash and enabling it to look like natural light. If your nursery has fewer windows or it's a cloudy day, I will still be able to create stunning light and bright images for you.
The first days at home with your baby pass in a beautiful blur. As a Dover newborn photographer, I capture the quiet, meaningful moments—the way your baby fits in your arms, the soft light in your home, and the connection you share. Through timeless photography and heirloom films, these fleeting days become memories you can cherish long after the newborn stage has passed.
I can't wait to capture your newest little addition!
