AB Family Photography

Amanda Beadle started AB Family Photography as a stay-at-home mom of two who picked up a camera and never really put it back down -- she calls herself a 'momtog turned photographer' on her business page, and that origin story still shapes how she works. Based in Rochester, she photographs newborns, babies, and toddlers across the surrounding Seacoast and Lakes Region towns, often working outdoors even in cold weather when a family wants a specific season on record. Her recent posts include newborn sessions done in the dead of winter, coats and all, because she'll work around a family's timeline rather than asking them to wait for better weather. Her portfolio leans toward genuine, slightly imperfect moments -- a baby's unfocused first look toward the lens, a sibling mid-fidget -- over heavily posed studio setups, which fits her description of herself as someone building relationships with clients rather than running a volume studio. Because she's a parent herself, her sessions tend to move at a newborn's actual pace: feeding breaks, fussy stretches, and quiet moments are treated as part of the process rather than interruptions to work around. For Rochester families who want a local, home-grown photographer rather than a large studio operation, AB Family Photography offers a smaller-scale, personally-run alternative.
