Carrie Pellerin Photography

Carrie Pellerin Photography works from Portland, Maine. Carrie Pellerin built her reputation over fifteen-plus years photographing families across Southern Maine, and after closing the doors on her rented Biddeford studio space in early 2026, she shifted her newborn work entirely into clients' own homes.

Based in Saco, a short drive from Portland, she favors a quiet, unhurried black-and-white style that leans on natural window light rather than studio strobes, letting the softness of a newborn's skin and the exhaustion on a new parent's face tell most of the story without added drama.

For parents who want a fine art, editorial feel rather than a themed prop-heavy set, her in-home approach offers an alternative to a traditional studio newborn session.
