I believe every woman deserves to be celebrated for her powerful, selfless ability to be life giving. For the last decade, I have spent my career creating images that illustrate the miraculous transition into motherhood. As a mother of two, there are no words to describe the infinite love that comes with the birth of a child.
I feel fortunate to showcase these feelings visually for hundreds of mothers through the years. Our pregnancy and newborn photo shoots will allow you to engage your senses, free your imagination and step into your unique strength as you enter the journey that lies ahead. Timing is Key. The best time for newborn photography is in the baby's first two weeks of life, says Diana Sechrist of Diana Sechrist Photography.

Diana and her team are very professional and fun to work with. Her photos really capture how stunning motherhood can be in her outdoor photo shoots. I’m definitely not a model, but Diana will help pose you, fix your hair, and dress to get that perfect shot. It takes a lot of patience and an artistic eye to do all that while snapping the perfect shot when the wind blows your hair and dress in the right way. I highly recommend her and can’t wait to take my 1yr photoshoot with the little one.

We just received our pictures yesterday from our maternity/family shoot and OMG! they are breathtaking! We did outdoor shoot by the beach along with my 3 year old, who hates having her picture taken; however, with Diana, she was engaged, laughed the entire time and her pictures came out beautiful.
Every picture she took came out gorgeous!!! I was actually hesitant to take pictures with swimsuit on but Diana was really reassuring and I trusted her and to my surprise those were some of the best pictures in the gallery! Bottomline, Diana was great to work with, great at what she does, very professional

My experience with both the pregnancy session as well as the newborn session with Diana were exceptional. Diana is, by far, the best artist you can choose to not only capture, but also remind you how especial the expecting journey is.
From the moment I walked into her studio I always found her waiting for me with the warmest hug that immediately made us feel like we knew her for years and relieved any insecurities I had while being pregnant. The aura in her studio is one of a kind. From the treats (which include decaf coffee for mommas!!) to her amazing playlists, all

Diana Sechrist is amazing and a true artist. She made the experience individualized, relaxing, and enjoyable; and the end results were beyond what we could have imagined. She was super gentle with our newborn and somehow he didn't make a peep during the shoot! Being a first time mom I was nervous in the beginning, but as soon as I saw how careful Diana was with my baby, it put me at ease. It was the best experience for us and I feel so lucky to have find Diana. She captured the first images of our baby and our family. If you are looking for a maternity or newborn photographer, Diana is the best

Diana is such a pleasure to work with! I would use her for all of my photography needs if she shot more than just maternity and newborn pictures. Diana and her assistant are very professional, easy to work with and know how to handle newborns and children very well, and the pictures come out better than you could ever imagine! She has a very clean and simplistic style that is timeless. I would recommend DSP to anyone and everyone!

Just finished my maternity shoot with her and the best team ever. She really is amazing and sometimes you just need to feel like a princess while you are pregnant. Very professional, got an answer right away when I contacted her and last but not least her studio is gorgeous. So happy with her Im looking forward to photograph my next pregnancies with her. Worth every penny.

I am absolutely astounded by the incredible work of Diana Sechrist. I was online researching possible newborn photographers and Diana's photos captured my eye. I decided to check out her Instagram; I was pretty open minded about the photos so I needed to check out everyone's work. The photos were simple yet classic, soft and whimsical. I had to find out more.
I was contacted promptly after inquiring. After speaking with Diana, I knew I had the right photographer. She's a really kind and genuine person, which made me feel incredibly at ease as someone who was going to handle my newborn

Based on her website it is clear that Diana will make you look like a high fashion model. That said, I would have expected that a photographer who charges upwards of 4x other maternity photographers and who has a booking assistant would actually send the promised follow up email with package options and next steps for scheduling after the initial phone call.

We had an exceptional experience with multiple photoshoots with Diana. She has unbelievable way to capture the moments and those then become not just a photo but an art. It was also helpful to have such a wide selection of outfits for both myself and my newborn. I believe that once in a lifetime you should have this amazing experience of treasuring photos captured by Diana.

Diana is super responsive and very easy to communicate with. She was able to squeeze me in her super busy schedule when I called 4 months before my due date. (Schedule in advance. She's so good that her schedule gets booked up pretty fast). She's warm and makes you feel extremely comfortable during the shoot. She also helped me see how beautiful the woman body can be.

For years the moment I even thought about pregnancy the initial thought I had was “none of my weight gain will ever be documented”. That quickly changed, though when I began seeing so many beautiful pregnancy photos on social media. Doing more and more research I came across Diana’s page and fell absolutely in love with how every single client looked elegant, sexy, and angelic. Every single person looked so at peace, which we all can attest to the fact that pregnancy can be anything but peaceful. Cut to my session with Diana and it was nothing short of absolutely fabulous and professional

I reached out to Diana after researching and looking at the portfolios of so many Boston maternity and newborn photographers and falling in love with her work. She called back, we chatted on the phone a bit, and I immediately fell in love with her warm and sweet personality and knew she would be the right person to photograph this special moment in our lives. She is very professional and takes pride in her work, and on top of that is extremely talented. She has the most beautiful, airy and comfortable studio, has all the props and dresses to choose from (many of which she makes herself), and knows

Diana is an expert, not only are her photos beautiful, but she takes them with such care and ease. Diana photographed our newborn and seamlessly integrated our toddler into the photo shoot using fun games and props. Her patience and creativity saved the day, and we happily have some excellent photos of our two little ones together. She has oodles of props and fabrics, and was able to even incorporate some of our color requests into the session.
Diana provided ample time for us to care for our baby during the shoot, and her studio is fully equipped with baby gear that a parent may need.

If I had to use 3 words to describe my experience with Diana, I would say:
Professional! Passionate!! Perfect!!!
She is a true professional who knows what she's doing and is great at explaining things. Her professionalism and experience made us very comfortable in trusting her. Diana's passion shines with her glowing personality. She undoubtedly loves what she does. We always walked out of our appoints with a smile because every meeting was a great experience. Perfection is what i thought of the pictures she took. We couldn't resist and had to select all her photos to keep

After looking for a newborn and maternity photographer, we came across Diana Sechrist mentioned by a family member that gets her sessions done with Diana.
Diana is great at communicating and getting back to you quickly which is awesome!!! Aside from that she is just the sweetest and friendliest person ever :) She makes you feel so comfortable in the studio which I loved because my boyfriend is super shy (I usually feel awkward elsewhere)!
For both my maternity and newborn sessions she got SO creative! She created these beautiful color schemes and amazing portraits!

Our experience with Diana was wonderful. She is so warm and enthusiastic-you can instantly tell she loves what she does. I was nervous and a bit self conscious for the maternity shoot and as soon as I met her, I was at ease- it was a lot of fun! You feel beautiful and confident during the shoot.
Diana has a gorgeous collection of outfits to wear, something for everyone and every style. Having my makeup done onsite was awesome. I was nervous to wear too much make up or not look like myself and the makeup artist was awesome and it worked perfectly with the photographs.

We had such a wonderful experience with Diana. From the initial telephone consultation to ordering and receiving our newborn session photos, we were SO well taken care of by her and her staff.

We first were introduced to Diana's work through Steward - St. Elizabeth's Medical Center in Boston, where she has so many wonderful pieces hung around the maternity department. Impressed by her samples, we contacted her for our twin daughters newborn photoshoot. I can honestly say it was an incredible experience and the work was just fantastic and amazing. The scheduling process is simple, the studio is warm and inviting Diana is a true professional. She works so well with newborns, capturing all their beauty.
The shoot lasted 4 hrs (again we had twins) but there is a changing station

She is a true professional, and you won't find a better newborn photographer anywhere in New England.

As a new mom I can tell you that working with Diana and having your newborn's photos taken by her is by far THE easiest and most relaxing part of those first weeks of motherhood. I started my photographer hunt while still pregnant, because having your first baby means giving them the best the world has to offer (you moms know what I mean about obsessing over every detail before the lil' one is even here)...so why not start with having the most perfect photos of your most perfect baby :)

Newborn Photography = Diana.. it's as simple as that! I had contacted Diana when I was pregnant with my daughter, Zoe and she was just amazing to work it, very accommodating with dates and schedules and fairly reasonable rates
When the day finally arrived for Zoe's photo shot, I was just blown away by the ease at which she handled my baby (she was only 4 days old!) and the artistic nature of all her work. The end result is AMAZING!
Zoe's 4 months old now & I hope to go back to her for a follow up session..Hands down one of the BEST around!

Diana took the most beautiful, natural and fun photographs of our 7 month old baby. We decided to use her studio because it was April and the weather was iffy. She made us (and him) feel so at ease and she caught the most perfect images of him. We couldn't have been more pleased with Diana's work and the photo shoot was really fun. I highly recommend Diana Sechrist Photography- you won't be disappointed!
