Find the Best Photographers in Worcester

Kerry Callahan Photography is a West Boylston-based photographer offering in-home lifestyle newborn sessions to families throughout Worcester and the surrounding Central Massachusetts towns. Kerry describes her style as unscripted, nostalgic, heirlooms, an approach built around capturing genuine, candid family moments rather than heavily posed studio portraits, and she has photographed hundreds of newborns over the course of her career. In addition to traditional newborn sessions, Kerry offers Fresh 48 photography, which documents a baby’s very first hours in the hospital or birth center, as well as maternity sessions and first-birthday cake smash portraits, giving families the option to build a complete visual timeline of their baby’s earliest milestones. Kerry provides wardrobe guidance ahead of each session and gently directs families through natural interactions rather than stiff posing, aiming to create images that feel like genuine family heirlooms rather than staged photographs. Her in-home approach means newborns are photographed in the comfort and familiarity of their own nursery and living spaces, which many parents find less stressful than a studio visit in the fragile first weeks. For Worcester-area families who want candid, documentary-style newborn images captured at home, Kerry Callahan Photography offers an experienced, locally based option. 

Jenna Rose Photography is a Central Massachusetts studio based in Millbury, just outside Worcester, offering newborn, maternity, family, wedding, and senior portrait photography. Jenna’s newborn sessions take place in her second-floor studio on Elm Street and are designed to move at the baby’s own pace, typically running two to three hours to allow plenty of time for feeding, soothing, and gentle posing without rushing a sleepy newborn. The studio provides wraps, props, and personalized styling guidance so parents don’t have to arrive with everything figured out, and each session concludes with a design consultation to help families choose how to display their final images. Jenna Rose Photography was voted a 2025 Best of Central Mass Community’s Choice Award winner, a reflection of the strong reputation she has built among local families for both her portrait style and her client experience. Her portfolio spans Worcester, Whitinsville, Northborough, and the wider Central Massachusetts region, with newborn images that favor soft, warm tones and genuine family connection over stiff studio poses. For Worcester-area parents seeking a locally established newborn photographer with an award-winning reputation, Jenna Rose Photography is a strong regional option. 

Pebbles & Polka Dots Photography is a Worcester-based studio owned by photographer Mary Maloney, who has been recognized as one of Massachusetts’ best maternity and newborn photographers. Located at 51 Union Street in downtown Worcester, the studio offers dedicated newborn sessions alongside maternity, milestone, family, and seasonal Santa photography, making it a one-stop destination for documenting a baby’s earliest chapters. Mary and her studio assistant Tina work together to create a calm, unhurried environment for newborn sessions, using classic wrapped-and-posed styling along with soft studio backdrops and props to produce timeless, gallery-worthy portraits. The studio’s popularity has meant it regularly books out months in advance, with sessions often scheduled well into the following year, a reflection of the loyal, repeat clientele it has built among Worcester-area families. Clients consistently highlight the professionalism and warmth of the Pebbles & Polka Dots team, describing the studio experience as both relaxed and expertly handled even with a squirmy newborn in the room. For families in Worcester and surrounding Worcester County towns looking for an in-studio newborn photography experience with an established local reputation, Pebbles & Polka Dots Photography is a standout choice. 

KNG Photography has spent the last three years building a devoted following among Central Massachusetts families for in-home lifestyle newborn photography, serving communities in and around Uxbridge and Worcester. Rather than working in a traditional studio, KNG comes to a family’s own home and documents the newborn stage in the spaces where it actually happens, the nursery, the living room, a favorite reading chair, using natural light and a baby-led philosophy that avoids complex poses or forced swaddling in favor of authentic, unscripted moments. Sessions are scheduled during a baby’s first two to three weeks of life and typically run about an hour to an hour and a half, resulting in fifty to seventy-five edited images delivered through an online gallery with a print release included. Beyond newborns, KNG Photography also offers a combined Bump to Baby package that pairs a maternity session with a newborn session, along with family portraits, milestone and cake smash sessions, and engagement photography. For Worcester-area parents who want an unposed, documentary-style record of their baby’s earliest days without leaving home, KNG Photography offers an accessible, locally rooted option. 

Molly Katherine Photography has spent more than six years photographing newborns and families across Greater Boston and Central Massachusetts, including Worcester County communities like Grafton, Shrewsbury, Westborough, and Hopkinton. Molly operates a light-filled private studio and also offers in-home sessions for families who want their newborn photographed in familiar surroundings. Her signature approach is baby-led posing, a gentle, safety-first method that follows each newborn’s natural comfort rather than forcing complex poses, resulting in relaxed, authentic images. Sessions include access to a curated, size-inclusive studio wardrobe, personalized styling guidance, and a complimentary artwork design consultation to help families choose how to display their images, whether as heirloom albums, fine art prints, or gallery walls. Molly’s full-service approach extends beyond the shoot itself, with an emphasis on making the entire experience, from booking through final delivery, feel calm and low-stress for sleep-deprived new parents. Her safety training in newborn handling gives families added peace of mind during posed portions of the session. For Worcester County families looking for a photographer who blends artistic, editorial-style imagery with a genuinely gentle approach to newborn safety, Molly Katherine Photography is a well-regarded regional choice. 

With more than a decade of experience photographing newborns throughout Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island, Jodi Blodgett has built a reputation as one of the region’s trusted names in newborn portraiture. Based at her studio on Sawmill Road in Dudley, just outside Worcester, Jodi offers in-home newborn sessions that bring professional posing, props, and lighting directly into a family’s living room or nursery. Her one-hour signature session is designed to be simple and stress-free for exhausted new parents, and includes fifty edited digital images with full printing rights so families can create prints and albums on their own timeline. Jodi is known for working gently and safely with newborns, prioritizing the baby’s comfort above all else, and she frequently photographs newborn-with-sibling portraits that capture a family’s new dynamic. Clients across Worcester and the surrounding towns of Dudley, Oxford, and Charlton have praised her calming presence and ability to make even the most anxious new parents feel at ease. Beyond newborn work, Jodi also photographs family sessions, engagements, seniors, and weddings, giving her a broad, decade-spanning portfolio. For Worcester-area families searching for an experienced, affordable in-home newborn photographer, Jodi Blodgett Photography is a well-established local option. 

Aimee Liz Photography has been serving families across Central Massachusetts since 2011, giving owner and lead photographer Aimee Liz roughly a decade and a half of hands-on experience photographing newborns. Based in Lunenburg with a studio space in nearby Leominster, Aimee works with families throughout Worcester County, offering both in-studio newborn sessions and relaxed in-home lifestyle photography for parents who prefer to stay close to the nursery in those first sacred weeks. Her approach favors soft, candid light and genuine connection over stiff posing, capturing the small details — tiny fingers, sleepy expressions, the exhausted joy on a parent’s face — that families want to remember. In addition to newborn photography, Aimee also offers maternity and family sessions, making it easy to document the full arc from bump to baby with one trusted photographer. She has built a loyal following among Worcester County parents who travel from towns like Fitchburg, Holden, and Worcester itself for her signature candid style. With over fifteen years in the business, Aimee has refined a calm, patient process that puts new parents, and their brand-new babies, at ease, whether the session happens in her studio or in the comfort of a client’s own home. 

Stephannie, the photographer behind The Aerie Photo Co (formerly Stephannie Camosse Photography), picked up a camera for the first time at fifteen and has spent roughly nine years turning that early curiosity into a full wedding photography business based in Worcester, the last four of them full-time. Becoming a mother changed how she sees her work: after finding a family photo album from 1934 in her grandmother’s garage, she became committed to photographing weddings as future heirlooms rather than just event coverage. That philosophy drives a style that mixes bold, vibrant color with dramatic black-and-white, chasing the real, unscripted details of a wedding day — windblown hair, stolen glances, muddy shoes — over posed perfection. She specializes in elopements and intimate weddings of up to 100 guests, and splits her time between New England and Montana, offering destination and adventure-elopement photography for couples drawn to dramatic, off-the-beaten-path locations alongside her local Worcester coverage. Her work earned a WeddingWire Couples’ Choice Award in 2019, and deliverables include digital files, prints, wall art, and albums, plus engagement sessions, boudoir photography, and trash-the-dress shoots. Couples who want their wedding photographed as an honest, nostalgic story rather than a highlight reel tend to find their way to Stephannie’s work. 

Amy Mae DeMar-DuBois has spent more than thirteen years photographing weddings and special events out of her studio on June Street in Worcester, bringing a background in theater and professional product photography to a job that blends technical precision with an eye for candid emotion. That theater training shows up in how she reads a room full of nervous, excited people and knows when to step back and let a real moment happen. She often begins the relationship with an engagement or boudoir session before the wedding day itself, using that time to build trust and give couples a chance to get comfortable being photographed before the pressure of the big day arrives. Her portfolio spans a wide range of wedding styles, from small DIY backyard celebrations to elegant five-star affairs, with a contemporary and traditional photojournalism blend that adapts to whatever the couple’s vision calls for. Beyond wedding-day coverage, Amy Mae also offers boudoir, pet, graduation, and maternity photography, along with trash-the-dress sessions for couples who want one more shoot after the wedding is behind them. Clients describe her as detail-oriented and willing to go the extra mile, and her Worcester studio has become a steady presence in the city’s wedding photography scene for well over a decade. 

Alice Pepplow opened The Imagery Studio in Worcester in 2005 after immigrating to the United States from Curitiba, Brazil, in December 2002 with, as she describes it, “$200 and a heart full of dreams mixed with fears.” She holds a design degree and a bachelor of fine art from Brazilian institutions, credentials that show up in a wedding style she calls elegant and creative, built around making clients feel comfortable enough to look and act like themselves in front of the camera. What began as part-time work became a full-time studio by 2008, and nearly two decades later Alice has earned multiple Professional Photographers of America and PPA of Massachusetts awards, along with a Master Photography Degree and Certified Professional Photographer status. Operating out of a Shrewsbury Street studio in Worcester by appointment, she photographs weddings, portraits, and boudoir sessions, describing herself simply as “a people photographer” who thrives on detail and personality. Married to her husband Carlos, she travels home to Brazil every year and brings an adventurous, detail-oriented sensibility to every wedding she shoots. For couples in Worcester County looking for a studio with two decades of continuous operation and formal photography credentials behind it, The Imagery Studio has built its reputation on consistency and craft. 

Nathan Fiske has spent more than fifteen years building a photography practice around versatility, shooting weddings alongside portraits, higher-education campaigns, visual art documentation, and live music coverage. That range shows up on wedding days as a photographer who’s comfortable adapting to whatever a venue or timeline throws at him, whether that’s fast-changing light, a tight schedule, or an unconventional ceremony setup. Based in Worcester, he covers weddings and events throughout New England, with full wedding-day coverage starting at $2,700 — pricing clients and reviewers regularly describe as among the best value in Central Massachusetts. Beyond photography, Nathan also offers video production, giving couples the option to document their day in both stills and motion through a single vendor. His work has been featured on The Knot and across wedding blogs and Instagram accounts, a reflection of a portfolio that leans candid and true-to-life rather than heavily stylized. Clients consistently note his flexibility and responsiveness, along with a willingness to travel for the right wedding. For couples who want experienced, dependable coverage without the premium price tag of some Worcester studios, Nathan’s combination of longevity, affordability, and a broad photographic skill set has made him a repeat recommendation. 

Michael Hendrickson, known to couples across Central Massachusetts simply as UnityMike, didn’t set out to become a wedding photographer — a friend asked him to shoot a wedding, he initially said no, then decided if he was going to do it, he’d do it properly. That was 2007, and he’s been photographing weddings full-time ever since. Based in Holden, just outside Worcester, Mike serves Worcester, Boston, and destinations across New England, keeping every couple on the same simple package: a photographer for the full day, an online gallery, and an included engagement session used partly to help clients get comfortable in front of the camera before the wedding. His shooting style is deliberately adaptive — he compares it to playing jazz, watching what’s happening and adjusting in real time rather than working off a rigid shot list. He prioritizes getting lighting right in-camera over heavy post-processing, aiming for clean, refined edits rather than trend-driven presets. Off the job, Mike is married, lives in a ranch home with two dogs and two cats, and is an enthusiastic traveler with a well-documented devotion to Waffle House. Nearly two decades in, his focus remains the same: fast turnaround, clear communication, and treating every couple like a partner rather than a transaction. 

Kara Emily Krantz brings a storyteller’s instincts to wedding photography, with a background in writing, directing, and theater that shapes how she reads a room and anticipates a moment before it happens. A Sturbridge native who now calls Worcester home, she works out of a studio on Windsor Street and describes her style as warm, calm, and unobtrusive — polished enough to use for a couple’s wedding announcements, honest enough to still feel real. Her documentary approach favors connection and energy over staged scenes, and her broader event photography work, which includes conferences, theater productions, live music, and conventions, has given her an unusual specialty: real-time, on-site photo delivery during the event itself. That same responsiveness carries over into her wedding coverage, where she’s focused less on checking off a shot list and more on capturing what a moment actually felt like to be inside of. Kara serves Worcester County, greater New England, and beyond, splitting her time between Worcester and travel further afield. For couples who want a photographer who treats their wedding less like a formula and more like a story worth telling well, her background as a writer and director shows up in every gallery she delivers. 

Tom Godfrey’s path to wedding photography ran through newsrooms, not studios. He began as a photojournalist, working for newspapers and magazines across Central Massachusetts, and that background still defines how he shoots: less posing, more watching for the moment that actually tells the story. He holds a master’s degree in international studies and spent nearly two years volunteering with Worcester’s refugee and asylum-seeking community, an experience that sharpened his instinct for photographing people with honesty and respect. His life outside photography has taken him trekking in the Himalayas, teaching English in Seoul, and volunteering in Greece — travel that keeps showing up in the way he reads a room and adapts on the fly. Based in Worcester, Tom now photographs weddings, families, and corporate events throughout Worcester, Boston, Providence, Cape Cod, Vermont, and the rest of New England, with wedding packages starting at $2,500 and including a complimentary engagement session. He’s married to his wife from South Korea, has a toddler named Eejin, and considers South Korea a second home after two extended stretches living there. Couples hire Tom when they want their wedding photographed the way a good news story gets covered: honestly, and without unnecessary staging. 

Jemima Richards brought an outsider’s eye to New England wedding photography after relocating from Australia, and it shows in work that reads as raw and documentary one moment, bold and editorial the next. Based between Worcester, greater New England, and New York City, she shoots across digital, film, and Super 8 formats, giving couples a body of work with real texture rather than a single flat aesthetic. Her process is deliberately collaborative: she describes it as intentional, stylish, and “maybe a little unconventional,” working closely with couples and their other vendors to plan a timeline that captures the full arc of the celebration rather than just the highlight moments. Wedding coverage runs from $5,000 to $12,000 and includes a planning consultation, a wedding-day timeline, travel within 100 miles of Worcester, at least six hours of coverage, and a full online gallery with printing rights; smaller elopement packages are also available. Her images have been published in Rock n’ Roll Bride, Cosmopolitan, Junebug Weddings, and Carats & Cake. Jemima’s ideal couples are the ones who want their photography to feel like more than pretty pictures — real memories, beautifully and unconventionally told. 

Katlyn Reilly has been photographing weddings out of Central Massachusetts since 2009, building a business on the idea that couples relax faster in front of the camera when they aren’t being over-directed. Based near Worcester and serving New England and beyond, she leans on light guidance and easy prompts rather than rigid posing, letting real interactions between partners, family, and friends carry the images. Clients frequently describe the experience as surprisingly comfortable, saying they “forget the camera is even there” by the time the day is underway. Beyond weddings, Katlyn also photographs families and newborns, which has sharpened her ability to work quickly and calmly around real people in real moments rather than staged setups. Her portfolio spans everything from formal ballroom receptions to relaxed backyard celebrations across Worcester County, always with an eye toward capturing what actually happened rather than a scripted version of the day. With over a decade and a half behind the camera and hundreds of weddings documented, she has built a reputation for a laid-back, low-pressure presence that couples say made their wedding day feel less like a performance and more like their own. 

Joseph “Joe” Gonzalez-Dufresne came to wedding photography by way of the music scene, spending years touring with bands before a growing interest in graphic design and human connection pulled him toward a camera full-time. That road life shaped how he works today: he approaches every wedding with a lighthearted, easygoing presence that puts couples at ease, favoring natural interactions over stiff, over-directed poses. Operating out of a studio on Jackson Street in Worcester, Joe and his team cover weddings throughout Worcester, Boston, and greater New England, with a documentary-leaning style built around capturing both the big, obvious moments and the small, in-between ones that make a wedding day feel like itself. Worcester Magazine has named him the city’s best wedding photographer, a reflection of a client list that keeps referring friends and family back to him. Off the clock, Joe is a married father, a snowboarder, a guitar player, and a self-described lover of vegan food and exploring new places with his family. Couples looking for a photographer who treats their wedding like a story worth telling, rather than a checklist of poses, consistently point to Joe as the one who got it right.
