What makes her approach special is a focus on storytelling and simplicity. Instead of elaborate props or busy sets, Erica leans into natural light, flattering posing and minimal styling that keeps the attention on you and your bump. She listens to what matters to you — whether that’s a quiet, moody portrait, a sunlit outdoor series, or images that include a partner or older children — and tailors the shoot to reflect your preferences and personality. How she works: from first contact to final gallery, Erica aims to make the process effortless. She’ll discuss location options, timing and outfit ideas to help you prepare, and on the day she moves at your pace, offering gentle direction and plenty of breaks when needed. After the session you’ll receive a carefully edited gallery of images to choose from, with options for prints and heirloom products to preserve these memories. Rooted in family values and a belief that maternity portraits should feel meaningful and real, Erica Newell Photography is the Dorchester maternity specialist for expecting mothers who want elegant, heartfelt images.
