Bachelder Photography

Bachelder Photography works from Lebanon, New Hampshire. Serving the greater Upper Valley and Dartmouth-Lake Sunapee region, Sheilla's client base spans towns from Lebanon and Hanover to New London and Hartford on the Vermont side of the river, making her one of the more geographically flexible newborn photographers working in the area.

Her newborn and baby work favors simple, uncluttered setups, a soft blanket, natural light, a parent's hands, that keep the attention on the baby rather than props or elaborate staging.

Sheilla Bachelder has been photographing families from her home base in Grantham, New Hampshire, ever since she found a manual camera in her parents' attic and taught herself the craft from there.

Bachelder Photography ranks No. 3 for newborn photography among the Lebanon studios we reviewed for 2026. Rankings are earned through research and can't be bought.

Sheilla Bachelder is based in Grantham, New Hampshire, and serves the greater Upper Valley and Dartmouth-Lake Sunapee region, including Lebanon and Hanover.

She favors simple, natural setups such as soft blankets and available light, keeping the focus on the baby rather than elaborate props or staged scenes.

No, the studio also photographs seniors, families, and weddings, which means many clients continue working with Sheilla well beyond a single newborn session.

She began after finding a manual camera in her parents' attic and later added formal training in composition and technique to that self-taught start.
