For mommas who have been considering maternity photos, DO IT. Pregnancy is such a beautiful time in…read moreones life, and even if you feel just as miserable as I do (lol) you'll still be able to capture those perfect moments if you choose the right photographer (Shirley). I take my bump selfies on a regular but nothing compares to beautiful professional photos that show your connection to the beautiful human you are growing. I'm so happy I was able to find Shirley whom I connected with, which is so important. Shirley was FANTASTIC! I've voiced to her numerous times already with how comfortable she made me feel. It's honestly really hard to get me out of my shell, but Shirley's personality and spirit made me forget I was an introvert and didn't like being in front of the camera lol I contemplated for a while on whether or not I wanted to do maternity photos, but I'm glad I did. I feel in LOVE with the sneak peek, and then when I saw the proofs I fell in love all over again! They were perfect. We were able to get 3 outfits, beautiful shots in each, and only an hour at the beach and the sunset was perfect. I'm already planning in my head a photo shoot with Shirley for when my rainbow baby arrives thanks again, Shirley! Your work is amazing.

We had an amazing experience with Sister City Photography for our annual Christmas card photos…read more Daniela went above and beyond from start to finish. We chose to shoot in the South End to capture the beautiful brownstones and fall foliage, and the photos turned out even better than I imagined. Our situation was a bit tricky because we were working around a sleepy 6-month-old. Daniela kindly adjusted her schedule at the last minute so our baby could take a full nap beforehand, something any parent will appreciate! During the shoot, she gave us so much direction on how to stand, pose, and find the best lighting, which made the entire experience effortless and enjoyable. People walking by even stopped to say how great the photos were going to look -- and they were right. The images came out stunning. I've received so many compliments on our Christmas card this year, and it was hard to narrow it down to just a handful of photos because everything she captured was perfect. Daniela truly brought my vision to life and beautifully documented our memories in Boston. I can't recommend Sister City Photography enough for anyone looking for thoughtful, high-quality family photos.

We worked with Daniela both for our engagement and wedding photos because we loved her portfolio on…read morethe website. We could feel in every single picture that her style was full of love, candor, and artistry. From the beginning to the end, she was an amazing photographer, very professional and communicative. We were worried about being awkward and self-conscious around the camera, but she made us feel so comfortable and helped us bring forth our true selves. She was also so great at directing us for different and creative poses and where to get the best shots. We received so many compliments on both our engagement and wedding pictures. We highly recommend her for any photography! We feel so fortunate to have found her and honestly couldn't ask for a better experience and more beautiful pictures. We would definitely work with her again!

Working with Emily O'Brien exceeded all of our expectations for our first ever professional family…read morephotographs. I had the opportunity to meet with Emily prior to our photo shoot to discuss location choices, wardrobe ideas, print options and equally important my children's personalties so she could be most prepared. Right from the start Emily was warm, welcoming and professional. At the shoot, Emily made everyone comfortable and could not have been more patient with my boys, ages 4 and 9, getting the best out of them while making it a fun experience. At the viewing appointment, I was almost brought to tears when seeing the priceless keepsakes Emily created of my family. The coastal setting combined with the afternoon lighting, Emily captured the most amazing photos of my boys. Emily carefully helped me narrow down our images into favorites and from there guided me into selecting photos for our walls, taking space and measurements as well as my personal style into consideration. Since we've had the photos decorating our walls, we've had family and friends rave about the quality and beauty of Emily's photography. From beginning to end, the process was seamless and memorable. Emily O'Brien is outstanding.

How can I say enough to express how amazing Emily is?! I love beautiful photographs, and I take…read morefamily photos pretty darn seriously. What I received from Emily from our family photo shoot is beyond my expectations. She captured my three boys incredibly in all their various looks, moods, expressions . . . and even got fabulous shots of our whole family together . . . all five of us! My husband and I will treasure these high quality photographs forever as a beautiful memory of this moment in time. We loved them so much, we ordered an album and three framed prints as well. The album is incredible, and the framed photos are stunning on our wall at home. Lastly, but just as important, Emily is awesome to work with. She consulted with me before the shoot to discuss location and clothing options, etc., which was really helpful, and then she was great with my kids and all-around fun to be with during our photo session. It was literally a totally enjoyable experience. She's such a natural! Then afterwards, I got the pleasure of meeting with Emily to review all the photos and the awesome video she made of my family. Wow, such a joy! She helped me to make decisions about photos, and together we created such gorgeous pieces. I felt like she was my friend by the end of our consultation session. The whole experience was hugely positive. I'm a big fan!

We hired Deb to photograph my parents' 50th wedding anniversary in August 2025. Family traveled in…read morefrom out of state, and this photo session was meant to be my gift to my parents. We are not the type of family that normally arranges professional photos, which made this even more meaningful to us. After the event, I repeatedly followed up throughout fall 2025 asking for access to the gallery. When Deb finally sent it in november, I discovered that the majority of the photos were missing. There was not even a single photo of my entire family together from that day. I was later told that the photos had been accidentally destroyed. The situation was heartbreaking and incredibly disappointing. Since then, I have continued asking for access to the few photos that did survive -- especially the pictures of my parents with the grandchildren and photos of the kids alone -- simply so I could download and print hard copies for our family. It has now been many months without any response or download link being provided. What makes this even harder is that Deb had photographed my daughters since they were toddlers, nearly every year for the six years. Not only did we lose irreplaceable memories from a once-in-a-lifetime family celebration, but the experience also completely damaged that trust. I understand that technical issues can happen, but the lack of communication, follow-through, and accountability afterward has made an already painful situation far worse. Nearly a year later, we still do not have access to the few images of that day.

Booking…read morewas super easy--you do it through the website and I was able to reschedule my session with no problem. Pricing is great especially for the quality and the photos you get. I sent them to a friend who had already booked her own newborn photo shoot and she said she regretted putting down a deposit with another photographer because she loved Nicole's style! We don't take a lot of photos and are pretty camera-shy, but Nicole was very helpful and gently guided us on what to do and made us feel free to try out different things. She was very gracious during our session and even went a little over time because we had to feed the baby in the middle of it. Photos came back within two weeks and we're very happy with them. Definitely will be recommending to my friends and hope to book Nicole again!
