BOSTON AND CENTRAL MA NEWBORN AND BRANDING PHOTOGRAPHER

You deserve images that are timeless, beautiful and authentically you

Hi There!

Photographer | Type a list maker | pizza enthusiast

I’m Elizabeth, the Massachusetts based newborn, family and branding photographer behind Elizabeth Piper Photography. This is probably where I should explain that my name is actually Elizabeth Lindblad these days.  You see, I started my business back in 2014 before I was married.  Don’t worry though, I still answer to either name as well as nicknames.. and my sister’s name!  My husband Scott and I live in Bolton, MA with our two daughters Piper and Sawyer. You can often find us venturing to Dallas to spend time with my family or trekking up to Lake Winnipesaukee with Scott’s family. When we’re in town, we’re usually exploring local trails, baking something sweet or perfecting our pizza recipe.

It all started in 2005 in Ms. Sheppard’s intro photography class…

I picked up a Pentax K1000 and realized that creating photographs was basically magic. I still remember the chemical smell of the dark room and watching images appear from nothing. Composition, posing, lighting were all foreign concepts to me and honestly, my work was absolutely terrible but I loved it!

That same year, I was sitting with my grandma looking through years of family pictures (which she preciously stored in an antique metal trash can… I bet you can guess how that ended but that’s a story for another day).

Each picture accompanied a story of people I loved or people I'd only ever heard of. The images that stood out as my favorites were the unposed - my grandparents as newlyweds snuggled on the couch in their first house or my dad splashing in the lake with his sisters. These images felt like a time capsule with a story to tell.

It makes sense that these are now my favorite images to capture. The ones I hope *your* children look back on and can see how you looked at them, laughed with them, loved on them.

These are a few of my favorite things...

  • Pepperoni pizza (preferably from Picco in the South End) but fajitas, queso and a frozen marg are a close second.

  • Ice cold water! Of course I have an obnoxiously large water cup that never leaves my hand but when it does, it’s usually to hold a glass of red wine.

  • Hands down, the Notes app. I have everything from my groceries list to my business goals to my weekly to do list to my children’s milestones in my notes. Sorry if you were expecting something more exciting but it’s a list maker’s dream!

  • Anywhere with water and sun! I have trouble slowing down and not being productive but put me in the sunshine next to a body of water and I can finally relax.

  • This feels like picking a favorite child but Veep is up there for me. It’s my comfort show that I fall asleep to every night.

Are we friends yet?

In case you needed to hear this: you don’t HAVE to schedule a newborn session for those first few weeks. It’s no secret that I love that two week mark for newborn sessions but that’s doesn’t work for every situation or famil

The beauty of a lifestyle newborn session is you can schedule it whenever you want but my favorite age is those two week old squishes who snooze through their entire session 😍
One of the best things I’ve done for my business in the past couple years is incorporating flash with my in home sessions. Living in New England, many of the homes I shoot in either have low ceilings, small windows, are “garden level&rdqu

Please know that if you have a cute window in your house, I’ll make you sit in weird places so I can photograph it
It turns out that if you don’t know how long you spend editing then it’s hard to calculate your cost of doing business 🤦‍♀️🫠 I’ve spent the last month tracking my time and I’m curious, what’s your guess for how lon
