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.

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, alltogether brought me and my husband so much joy and it was so easy for us to just forget about the outside world and literally live in that exact moment, where by her hand, we would celebrate as we wait for our first born. After that first session is when I started feeling the most free and gorgeous I ever felt. Too magical for words...We then met again when our baby was born and for me, particularly, was so easy, (despite how difficult the first week was for us as first parents) as she took over from the start, warming & wrapping our little one like it was her baby.The photos came out incredible. Super sophisticated and unique. We will always be thankful that we are able to treasure these moments for life and grateful to her for cherishing with us, our little love.

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. The makeup artist was SO worth the extra cash and Diana’s assistant was as perfect as Diana. Every single team member worked in sync and in a timely manor. The demeanor of these ladies makes you feel like you’re just on cloud 9 and if you had any concerns about your body, you’ve already forgotten about them come the first click of the camera. I loved how I didn’t have to spend money or time wondering what to wear for the shoot, and that I just had to “bring my own bump”! Not only do I love the photos, but my entire family and husband are equally obsessed. Is she pricey? Yes. Did I feel like I was pressured into buying the most expensive package? Absolutely not. And that was extremely important to me. I cannot wait to come back and use her again for future photos!

Diana is absolutely AMAZING! We had the most wonderful experience with her for both my maternity and newborn sessions! Shes very professional and dedicated and her passion shines with her glowing personality.Dianas artistic view was just what I envisioned for my photos. She responds in a timely manner to all inquiries and during the shoots she was very professional, warm and fun! She is a hard worker and its clear she loves what she does.She captured this special moment in our lives with much love and beauty! Not only did the photos turn out absolutely amazing but she is so fun to work with and put me at ease through each shoot. During the newborn session we were fascinated by her abilities to twist and turn, dress and undress our little man without waking him. The whole process was stress free for us, let alone our baby who only woke up for feeding at the very end of the shoot. Diana and her assistant were very professional, prompt and knew exactly what they were doing. I love her so much and cannot wait to use it again in the near future. I highly recommend Diana...Her photos are a lifetime treasure!!!

I had an amazing experience shooting my maternity photos with Diana. She was very easy to communicate with, fitting me in both for the shoot and to come back and look at the photos, even being close to my due date.On the day of the shoot. she and her assistant made me feel extremely comfortable and beautiful. She was very professional but also a lot of fun, and made the experience very easy, fun, and memorable.The photos turned out absolutely incredible! They were above and beyond anything I could have hoped for, and She truly made me feel beautiful, even being extremely pregnant. She was able to capture the emotion and the beauty of the momentous shift to motherhood.I would highly recommend Diana to anyone looking for maternity or newborn photos!

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 didnt 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!

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.

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!

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.We are so happy that Diana captured these memories for our family, and adore the photo canvas on our wall.

Diana is an incredibly talented photographer! She put our kids at ease with her calming and sweet demeanor. She was able to capture the most beautiful and priceless moments with both our newborn and toddler. Ive never seen more impressive family photographs. She is hands down the best!

I cannot recommend Diana enough! She creates such a fun and professional environment for a photo shoot. I went in for my maternity photos days before my due date and she was so considerate of my needs that far into pregnancy and made me feel beautiful (a tall order when youre that big!). The shoot was wonderful, but even better is how beautiful the photos turned out. She has a great eye and I am so glad to have gone to her for such a special time to be captured.

I am very particular about photos because its a forever keepsake! I had a bad experience with our wedding photographer and when I found out I was pregnant... I knew I wanted to do extensive research on the best newborn photographer. After so many google searches and photographers websites, I landed on Dianas website. I fell in love with her work. I am so glad I found her because she was so great with our little girl. She was so tentative, patient and personable. She took her time to make sure she got the best shots for us. I was so impressed with the final product and had to get every single shot! We are going back for our little girls 1st bday photo shoot and many more after that. She will be our go to for photos! I definitely recommend Diana for the best photography experience!

After a long extensive search for a great maternity and newborn photographer, I came across Diana’s instagram and immediately fell in love with her work. Just browsing through her images you get this sense of “timeless” feel. Through the entire process of booking the photo shoot, Diana responded in a timely manner and was available for any questions we had and also provided us with some tips before the shoot. On the day of our maternity session, my husband and I entered the studio and just knew we hired the right person for these once in a lifetime memories. Diana is such a sweetheart and was so genuinely invested on providing an amazing experience for us. The dresses she provides for her clients are absolutely stunning! She even had snacks and water for us available (very important when you’re pregnant and always hungry).We will definitely be back again! The entire experience was amazing and I would recommend her to anyone!

Diana and her team make it so easy for sleep deprived parents to get amazing pictures! Diana has thought of everything to make it as stress free and enjoyable as possible for a photo shoot during those first few chaotic days with a newborn - plenty of free parking at a huge beautiful studio, wardrobe choices and optional hair and makeupdone on site upon arrival, different sets and props for the baby, water and snacks, a nursing pillow for when the baby gets hungry throughout the shoot, a changing table and diaper bin for the inevitable diaper changes, even extra nursing pads in the bathroom. I knew from her portfolio that Diana had the skill and a style I loved, but it also ended up being so helpful to really just need to worry about getting everyone there. Our newborn was cluster feeding the day of, and our toddler (who we also brought for some sibling and family shots) was extra shy, but Diana and her assistant Sarah were so calm and patient throughout, successfully getting so many great pictures that I had to buy them all! I highly recommend investing in Diana’s services for her wonderful ability to capture gorgeous baby pictures all while making it so easy and fun for the growing family!

Diana is an amazing photographer, but also a great person. We are extremely thankful we got a chance to do our maternity and newborn photography with her. To be honest, looking at other maternity and newborn photography, I have not seen anything more beautiful and professional than hers. Being a graphic designer, attention to detail and quality work is what I thrive on. So it was a perfect match for us working with Diana. The experience was also amazing - I wish everyone could enjoy something like this. We cant get enough of the images - they are sooooo pretty!!! We love them all.

Diana is everything you could want in a photographer! She cares about the shoot just as much as her customers, takes her time with the sessions, makes you feel comfortable, and this all results in the highest quality prints. The best in the business--shes the only photographer we trust to capture all our family memories!

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 how to simultaneously gauge your sense of style, listen to requests, and give guidance. We felt so well taken care of and safe in her presence, our baby also loved her. Her team was lovely as well, and really worked magic to bring everything together. I am so happy we went with Diana, and cannot wait until we go back for our one year photos!

It was such a pleasant experience having Diana take our daughters newborn photos. She is so meticulous with every detail, I felt at ease letting her take complete creative control of the entire shoot. Her studio is absolutely amazing with props, adorable bonnets, and wraps to choose from. We couldnt help but order the full album once we saw how amazing the photos came out and were back to shoot Madelines 11 month photos a month ago. I was only planning on choosing a few photos, however once I arrived I knew she really captured some incredible moments and ordered another album. I can not wait to come back and get newborn photos done for our second one on the way. Dont look any further if you are looking for the highest quality maternity, newborn, and baby photos from the best photographer. The photos and memories will last forever.

In conducting our search to find the perfect photographer to capture the special experience of maternity, after extensive research and numerous friends recommendations, we chose Diana for our maternity, newborn, and one year old pictures and could not be happier with our experience!From the initial introduction online to the final review of photographs and packages, working with Diana has been an absolute pleasure. She has the rare talent in a photographer of making her sessions fun and enjoyable while producing results that are truly amazing. Dianas studio and equipment are top notch and she was always happy to explain the techniques and technologies she was using throughout the process with the utmost patience.First time pregnancy and parenthood can be a stressful time but as a parent herself, Diana seems to know exactly what her clients need and the advice she provides is truly invaluable. Dianas pride and care in her work were apparent in each session we had with her as she always took her time to make sure everything was perfect and had the special ability of making us really appreciate and realize how wonderful the experience of parenthood was.We especially appreciated the newborn session with Diana as we walked in admittedly sleep deprived and nervous wrecks as new parents, but walked out feeling like we had just left a spa session for ourselves and with a handful of tips that have been invaluable. We are convinced that Diana is a baby whisperer and she could charge for her advice alone!The complements we have received from friends and family are endless on every picture weve shared with them as they are amazed with the magical moments Diana is able to envision and capture that even we could never see during our sessions! We couldnt recommend her more highly!

Today, I was scheduled to come in for my daughters one year shoot. I have been waiting for this since she was one month old- when I was in Diana’s studio in awe over how my photos from my maternity and newborn shoot came out. There was no way out of purchasing a package that gave me every photo taken and a bonus 1 year shoot! Mia had a fever yesterday and I contacted Diana in the event that we would not be able to make it in. Not only was she accommodating in offering a reschedule shoot date- she also insisted it occur at least a week after my daughters fever cleared as there are frequent newborns in the studio. She has a perfect balance of professionalism and compassion- she is warm and so comfortable to be around and her vision and production is not to be messed with! The photos are classy and capture such important moments. I’m running out of walls in my house to display all of my photos!

Diana did an amazing job for my maternity and newborn sessions! She’s so nice and makes you really conformable doing the photo shoot. She even designs the photo albums for you which makes mom’s life a lot easier. The products she sent out are well placked with care. Couldn’t thank her enough for capturing the most presious time of my pregnancy and my baby’s first couple of days!
