Find the Best Photographers in Vermont

Sepia Sisters Photography is run by two sisters-in-law, Jenn and Sarah Grandchamp, who built their studio to serve both sides of the Vermont/New Hampshire border — including Rutland, VT and West Lebanon, NH. Jenn brings a formal background in graphic design and photography and time spent working New York Fashion Week, while Sarah’s path started on the newborn side of the business before the two joined forces in 2021. That split background shows up in how they shoot maternity sessions: less traditional soft-focus, more of the dark, moody, editorial look they’ve built their name on. For expectant parents who want images that feel more like a fashion editorial than a mall portrait studio, that’s the draw. Maternity is one of several session types the sisters offer, alongside newborn, family, weddings and engagements, headshots, and even pet photography, which means clients often book them for more than one milestone. Being a two-person team also means an extra set of hands and eyes on set — useful during a maternity session when partners, older siblings, or a moving toddler are part of the shot. Sepia Sisters describes their own creative philosophy simply: the more creative the concept, the better, and they’d rather build a distinctive image with a client than default to a formula. 

When Amanda McGuire picks up her camera for a maternity session, she’s not chasing perfect poses — she’s chasing the way a mother-to-be laughs when she stops trying to look “photo-ready.” Working out of North Clarendon, just outside Rutland, Amanda has spent more than six years building a photography practice around getting to know her clients first, treating every family’s story as one she’s honored to help tell. Her approach carries pregnant clients from the maternity session straight through newborn portraits and into the first year, so many families end up working with her multiple times as their baby grows. That continuity shows in her portfolio: soft, natural-light images that favor genuine connection between partners over stiff studio setups. Beyond maternity, Amanda’s business covers newborns, children, and weddings, giving Rutland County families a single photographer who already knows their story by the time the baby arrives. She keeps sessions relaxed and conversational, which she says is the only way she knows to get past the nerves that come with being photographed pregnant. For expectant parents in the Rutland area who want a documentary-style record of this specific chapter — not a generic backdrop — Amanda’s combination of local roots and multi-year client relationships makes her a natural fit. 

Allison Macy has photographed Stowe families directly enough to publish a dedicated piece on family photography in the town, describing herself, half-jokingly, as a “field notetaker” and “keeper of the blur” rather than a traditional portrait photographer. Her newborn and family work leans on a film-inspired look — a little grainy, a little earthy, consistently nostalgic — built around small, specific details rather than a polished group pose: a loose curl, the sound of little feet on a wood floor, the kind of thing easy to forget without a photo of it. She traces her shift toward newborn and family work to becoming a mother herself, an experience she credits with reshaping how she approaches every session since. Beyond newborn portraits, her services extend into maternity, general family sessions, weddings, and elopements, and she also runs a mentorship program for other family photographers called “outsmarting memory,” suggesting a photographer experienced enough in this specific niche to teach it rather than just practice it. She works through a short round of pre-session questions to understand what a family actually wants preserved before the camera comes out, and contact runs through email rather than a listed studio phone line. For Stowe parents, her published local write-up is a more concrete signal of familiarity with the area than a generic “we travel anywhere” claim. 

Sincerely Liz Photography lists Stowe by name among the towns she covers, alongside a footprint that stretches across six New England states — Vermont, Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island. That kind of regional range usually signals a photographer built around travel rather than a single studio address, and her site frames newborn sessions in explicitly emotional terms, describing the goal as preserving “the fleeting, heart-centered moments that become your family’s first memories.” Sessions happen in-home, lit with natural window light and finished with what she calls true-to-tone editing — color that stays close to how the room actually looked rather than a heavy filter. Pricing for newborn, maternity, and family sessions starts at $750, a number published directly on her site rather than something clients have to request. Her stated approach is documentary rather than posed: she describes wanting images that feel calm, heartfelt, and centered on connection, with an emphasis on authenticity over composed formality. For a Stowe family weighing a local photographer against someone based further south in the state, her explicit inclusion of Stowe in her service area — alongside nearby Vermont towns like Burlington and Montpelier — means there’s no ambiguity about whether she’ll travel there. 

Mia Moran Photography markets herself directly as a Burlington and Stowe newborn photographer, publishing an entire guide walking Stowe parents through what to expect from an in-home session. Rather than a studio backdrop, she works in whichever room already feels most like home — typically the nursery — bringing her own props and styling so parents don’t have to plan around anything beyond opening the door. Her language leans soft and unhurried: cozy snuggles, quiet gazing, soft smiles, the kind of images that read as documentation of a specific week rather than a formal portrait sitting. She’s also named directly on the Vermont Birth Network’s regional referral pages as a maternity, newborn, and family photographer, the kind of endorsement that comes from birth-and-postpartum professionals who’ve already seen her work hold up under real newborn conditions — sleep schedules, feeding windows, a baby who won’t cooperate on cue. Beyond newborns, her calendar includes seasonal Vermont sessions at apple orchards and other outdoor spots once babies grow into toddlers, meaning a Stowe family booking her for a newborn session isn’t necessarily starting a one-time relationship. Her site indicates she’s currently booking for the coming year, a detail that matters for parents trying to lock in a date before their due date arrives rather than after. 

Amanda McGuire Photography has six years of experience and is based in Rutland, a well-traveled drive east on Route 4 to reach Woodstock — the same corridor several other Rutland-based photographers on this directory already use to serve the town. Six years is enough time in the newborn photography space for a consistent editing style and a repeatable, low-pressure session process to develop, which tends to matter more to parents once a baseline level of experience is already established. She doesn’t publish a star rating or review count, so evaluating her work means leaning on her portfolio directly rather than aggregate scores. For a Woodstock family weighing an established Rutland-area photographer against someone based further away, the short, familiar drive along Route 4 is a practical point in her favor. 

Hello Beautiful by Anderson Photography, sometimes listed locally as Captured by Anderson, already appears on this directory under both the maternity and newborn niches for the Rutland area, a genuine dual specialty rather than one service layered onto the other after the fact. Woodstock is a short, direct drive east of Rutland along Route 4, the same road corridor already connecting her to that market. An eleven-review, five-star rating is a solid sample size for an independent photographer, suggesting consistent client satisfaction rather than a handful of enthusiastic early reviews that haven’t been tested by volume. For families who’d like the same photographer for both a maternity session and the newborn photos that follow it, working with someone who already offers both services under one business removes the need to vet and coordinate with two separate photographers during pregnancy and the newborn stage. 

Sepia Sisters Photography splits its home base between Rutland, Vermont and West Lebanon, New Hampshire, which puts Woodstock almost exactly between the two — closer to a home game than a special trip for sisters Jenn and Sarah Grandchamp. Sarah’s newborn photography experience predates the business itself; she began photographing newborns for a small company in her early twenties, years before she and Jenn launched Sepia Sisters together in 2021. Their site keeps a dedicated newborn portfolio separate from family and maternity galleries, and they specifically ask clients to text rather than call, a small detail that tends to matter more than it sounds for parents trying to coordinate scheduling around an unpredictable newborn’s sleep and feeding windows. Running the business as two sisters rather than one solo photographer also means more built-in flexibility if a session needs to shift at the last minute, which happens often in the newborn stage. 

Baby Beluga Photography brands itself as a Central Vermont family photographer, specializing specifically in newborn, baby, child, and family sessions rather than splitting focus across weddings or events. Rutland sits along the western edge of what’s generally considered central Vermont, close enough that it fits comfortably within the regional territory the business already markets itself toward. The stated priority on the site is making the session itself “an enjoyable, memorable experience” for the family, not just a technically well-lit photo — language aimed at parents anxious about how a newborn or toddler will handle a session, which is a common worry this age range brings up more than any other. Keeping a singular focus on newborn-through-family work, instead of also juggling wedding season, tends to mean more flexibility for the kind of last-minute rescheduling a fussy or sick baby can require. The playful “Baby Beluga” branding signals an approachable, kid-friendly business rather than a formal studio operation. 

Mia Moran Photography is directly named by the Vermont Birth Network’s Rutland County support page as a maternity, newborn, and family photographer — a specific regional referral rather than a general claim that she’ll travel anywhere. Referral networks built around birth and postpartum professionals, doulas, and lactation consultants tend to route families to photographers who’ve already proven reliable in the sensitive, time-limited newborn window, which makes this kind of listing a meaningfully different endorsement than a star rating alone. Her own site keeps a low-key tone, describing herself simply as having “been doing this photography thing for awhile,” and her session locations lean into Vermont’s seasonal calendar, including apple orchard sessions. She’s currently booking for the upcoming year according to her site, suggesting active, ongoing client demand. For Rutland families already connected to the birth and postpartum community, she may already be a familiar name through that network rather than a new discovery. 

Moments Photography VT is run by Sue Clark directly out of the Rutland and Killington area — this is her home turf, not a town she travels into for occasional bookings, and she’s already listed on this directory as a Rutland wedding photographer. Her site notes “limited availability for families & newborns” as a real, if secondary, offering alongside her primary fine-art wedding work, an honest framing rather than an overreach into a specialty she doesn’t actually practice. Being local means none of the scheduling friction that comes with booking someone who has to plan a multi-hour drive around a newborn session’s tight timing window in the days after a hospital discharge. Her wedding background, built around editorial, composed imagery rather than snapshot-style photos, tends to carry over into how she frames family and newborn portraits as well. Given her stated limited availability specifically for newborns, Rutland families interested in booking her should plan to reach out earlier rather than later. 

Rylee Eastman Photography is already established on this directory as a Killington newborn photographer, and Rutland sits just down Route 4 from Killington — the same short, familiar drive in reverse. Working the ski-town-to-county-seat corridor regularly means she’s used to the range of households that Rutland County actually has, from longtime local families to the second-home and seasonal residents drawn by the mountain. Her portfolio lives on a Pixieset gallery, a platform many independent Vermont photographers use for client proofing and delivery, which points to a working photographer with an organized, professional delivery process rather than one sending images through a casual social media message. For a Rutland family, booking her means working with someone whose home territory already overlaps directly with the area rather than a photographer making a special trip in from a different part of the state. 

Moments Photography VT, run by fine-art wedding and portrait photographer Sue Clark, is already listed on this directory as a wedding photographer serving Brattleboro — meaning her willingness to make the trip from her central Vermont home base down to Windham County is already a matter of record, not a guess. Her site notes “limited availability for families & newborns” alongside her primary wedding work, an honest framing that newborn sessions are a real but smaller part of what she takes on compared to weddings. She describes traveling “throughout beautiful New England,” language consistent with a photographer whose client base already extends well past her Rutland-and-Killington core territory. Because her fine-art wedding background emphasizes composed, editorial-quality images, that same sensibility tends to carry over into a more intentional, less snapshot-like look for a newborn or family session. Given her stated limited availability for this specific service, a Brattleboro family interested in booking her should expect to reach out well ahead of their due date. 

Karen Pike Photography runs a 2,000-square-foot studio in Burlington built primarily around business portraiture, headshots, and corporate branding, but her published client list includes newborn babies, and her site describes work “across New England and beyond” rather than a strictly local practice. She specifically mentions using “rustic barns, covered bridges or streams within 100 miles” for on-location sessions, and while Brattleboro sits toward the outer edge of that stated radius from Burlington, it isn’t outside it. A commercial-portrait background brings a different set of technical strengths than a newborn specialist typically advertises — controlled lighting, consistent post-processing, comfort directing camera-shy adults as well as babies — which can matter for a family also wanting, say, a polished sibling or parent portrait alongside the newborn images. Reaching her by phone is straightforward, and a studio session is available as an alternative to an in-home shoot for families who’d rather not prep a house for photos in the newborn haze. 

Sincerely Liz Photography advertises coverage across six New England states — Vermont, Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island — which arguably makes Brattleboro, sitting right where Vermont meets both Massachusetts and New Hampshire, one of the more natural fits on her whole map rather than an edge case. Her site frames lifestyle newborn sessions in emotional terms, describing “the fleeting, heart-centered moments that become your family’s first memories,” with newborn, family, and maternity pricing starting at $750. That price point generally buys more session time and a larger final gallery than the lower end of the market, which matters for parents specifically weighing photographers by what’s included rather than just a headline number. Because her business model already depends on regional, cross-border travel rather than staying inside one town’s limits, a Brattleboro family isn’t asking her to do anything unusual — it’s the kind of booking her whole practice is built around. 

Savannah Brown built her Vermont photography business after relocating from Southern California, and her site states she travels worldwide for sessions — a claim broad enough that a trip to Brattleboro, several hours south of her Stowe home base, is a smaller ask than what she already advertises taking on. Her outsider’s perspective on Vermont, developed over time rather than taken for granted the way a lifelong resident might, comes through in how deliberately her site talks about finding the right Vermont backdrop for a session, down to specific seasonal details like fall foliage timing. She keeps an active blog and Instagram presence with recent posts, which is a reasonable proxy for a photographer who’s still actively booking rather than coasting on older work. Reaching her means email rather than a phone call, and because Brattleboro sits at the opposite end of the state from her usual territory, booking further ahead than you would with a Windham County local is a sensible approach. 

Allison Macy Photography covers family, newborn, and maternity work alongside weddings and elopements, and her own site describes becoming a mother herself as the turning point that reshaped how she approaches every session since. That’s a common but genuine origin story among newborn photographers, and it tends to translate into sessions built around what actually happens with a real baby rather than a rehearsed shot list. She also runs a mentorship program for other family photographers, called “outsmarting memory” on her site, which suggests a photographer experienced enough in the newborn and family space to teach it, not just practice it. She’s based in the Burlington area with no specific travel radius stated on her site, meaning a Brattleboro booking is more of an open question than it would be with a photographer who names a fixed service area — worth confirming directly before booking, though nothing on her site rules it out. Contact runs through email rather than a listed phone number. 

Clover and Pine Photo is based right in Brattleboro, and while the business is already listed on this directory as a wedding photographer, its own site lists a specific “Birth Announcements / Newborns” package priced at $400, describing an in-home session lasting two to three hours built around the small, sweet details of a baby’s earliest days. That’s a level of detail — a named package, a price, a described session length — that a lot of newborn listings on this page can’t point to, since many photographers keep pricing off their public site. Her stated approach blends “a documentary approach with gently guided portraits,” a middle ground between a fully hands-off candid shooter and one who poses every frame, which tends to suit parents who want natural images without leaving everything to chance. Being local to Brattleboro itself, rather than driving in from another town, also means she’s not weighing travel time against session length the way a visiting photographer might. Her five reviews average a perfect five stars. 

Karen Pike Photography is primarily known around Burlington for business portraiture, headshots, and corporate branding work, run out of a 2,000-square-foot studio, but her client list includes newborn babies alongside the corporate work, and her site describes photographing “across New England and beyond.” That combination — a photographer whose main bread and butter is commercial headshots — sometimes gets overlooked for newborn work, but it also means a level of technical lighting control and professional consistency that a purely portrait-focused newborn specialist doesn’t always emphasize on their own site. She mentions using “rustic barns, covered bridges, or streams within 100 miles” as location options, a radius that comfortably covers the drive from Burlington to Killington. For a family who wants both a formal studio option and the flexibility of an on-location rural Vermont backdrop for a newborn or family session, having both under one photographer simplifies the decision. 

Baby Beluga Photography markets itself directly as a Central Vermont family photographer specializing in newborn, baby, child, and family sessions, with a stated goal of making each session “an enjoyable, memorable experience” for the whole family rather than a stressful photo shoot to get through. That central-Vermont identity puts Killington near the southern edge of her general territory, a reasonable stretch for a photographer who already markets herself regionally rather than to one single town. The business name itself signals a lighthearted, kid-friendly brand rather than a formal studio approach, which tends to appeal to families who want their newborn session to feel relaxed rather than clinical. She keeps a consistent focus across the newborn-through-family age range rather than splitting attention across weddings or events, meaning newborn work isn’t competing for calendar space against an unrelated specialty.
