Specialist Boston maternity photographer Adrianne Mathiowetz creates relaxed, unposed pregnancy portraits—documentary heart meets studio craft—resulting in timeless, vibrant images for expecting mothers.
AM Family Photography is a specialist in maternity photography, led by Adrianne Mathiowetz — a former photojournalist turned family & motherhood photographer who brings documentary instinct and studio portrait craft to every pregnancy session. Based in the Boston area (Somerville), Adrianne’s work centers on honoring the quiet, powerful beauty of pregnancy: the small gestures, the palpable anticipation, and the tenderness that makes this time uniquely yours. Why choose AM Family Photography for your maternity photoshoot? Adrianne’s background in documentary photojournalism taught her to find the decisive moment even in imperfect, real life; her studio portrait experience taught her how to slow down, craft light, and build trust. The result is a maternity practice that doesn’t rely on rigid shot lists but knows exactly when to guide, when to step back, and when to gently prompt the real connections that make images feel true. In 2025 she was recognized by the National Association of Portrait and Child Photographers as a certified Master Family Photographer — a reflection of her technical skill and sensitivity to family and motherhood moments. How she works: every session begins with a relaxed conversation about how you want to feel in your images. Adrianne offers thoughtful wardrobe guidance, location suggestions around Boston, and practical tips so you arrive feeling confident. During the shoot she cultivates a warm, unhurried atmosphere — playful when kids are involved, calm and intimate for solo mama or couple-focused maternity portraits. Her approach prioritizes authenticity: snuggles may get snugglier, laughter may get louder, and small, unscripted gestures become the images you’ll return to again and again. What you’ll receive is more than just photos: heirloom-worthy imagery that captures this passage into parenthood. Adrianne loves collaborating with expecting mothers who want portraits that are true to them — elegant without being staged, emotional without being contrived. If you’re looking for a Boston maternity photographer who combines documentary sensitivity with studio polish to create timeless, vibrant portraits of pregnancy, AM Family Photography is built for you.
