Most of my clients are North Shore parents who drive to my studio because they want photos that don't look like they're trying too hard and feel just like them.

You show up with your baby. That's it. I've got every outfit, prop, wrap, bonnet, headband, and fabric you could want. Plus I've got snacks for you, a comfy couch, and a diaper station so you can actually relax while we work.

I Ask A Lot Of Questions and so should you!

In the world of newborn photography, every small detail tells a story – from the wrinkly foreheads to the tiny hand gestures. My approach is to document these details authentically, creating a visual story that reflects the love and joy of welcoming your brand new little miracle.

My newborn sessions are about freezing time and creating timeless keepsakes that you'll appreciate as your little one grows.

a note from rel

"Absolutely recommend REL Portraits by Ariel! Our photo session exceeded our expectations. Ariel's patience with our kids was remarkable. Her studio is stocked with a variety of props and thoughtful amenities like snacks, and even nursing and diapering supplies. Ariel's attention to detail during the shoot, providing directions for poses and positions, resulted in truly phenomenal and personalized photographs. A fantastic experience overall!"
