Diana Sechrist Photography

Our experience with Diana was wonderful. She is so warm and enthusiastic-​you can instantly tell she loves what she does. I was nervous and a bit self conscious for the maternity shoot and as soon as I met her, I was at ease– it was a lot of fun! You feel beautiful and confident during the shoot.
Diana has a gorgeous collection of outfits to wear, something for everyone and every style. Having my makeup done onsite was awesome. I was nervous to wear too much make up or not look like myself and the makeup artist was awesome and it worked perfectly with the photographs.
The newborn shoot was so much fun! It was peaceful and Clara slept the whole time (we even closed our eyes for a break as it was a week after she was born!).
The presentation of the images was wonderful and exciting. We loved all the photographs. Diana captured so many wonderful moments that really represented us.
We would highly recommend her to anyone. We cannot wait to come back for our 1 year photo shoot with Clara!

We had such a wonderful experience with Diana. From the initial telephone consultation to ordering and receiving our newborn session photos, we were SO well taken care of by her and her staff.
1) Booking was a breeze. Despite how busy her schedule was when my due date was approaching (we decided to book two months before I was due), she still made sure she was able to fit us in.
2) The session. When the day came, we were blown away. Not only did she take so much time and care in every shot she did with our little one, but she also allowed us to contribute to the creative process. She has little ones of her own and it was so obvious with how careful (and loving!) she was with our little one. The session was not rushed whatsoever. We stopped often to feed our little one and change diapers when needed. She has a lot of new mommy supplies in the studio, which was incredibly helpful.
3) The space. Her studio is very modern and spacious. She has a zen relaxation area for the parents that is incredibly comfortable!
4) Pricing. You get what you pay for. Good, quality work that is above and beyond!
5) Prints/​Images. All received quickly as promised. All images were touched up beautifully and the photo lab is quick and packages and protects your prints beautifully.
We are looking forward to seeing her again for our baby’s one year session.

We could not be happier with the newborn session we had with Diana! The studio is set up very well. All of her props and staging is top notch. More importantly, she is GREAT with babies. Our daughter was having a particularly fussy day and Diana was so patient and so sweet with her and was able to get amazing shots despite it. She made us and our daughter feel comfortable throughout the process.
And the best part, the photos! Of course we had to get them all because we just couldn’t choose, they were all so great. The process is easy and fun, and the end result is well worth it. We have gotten so many compliments on these photos, they are a treasure.

We first were introduced to Diana’s work through Steward — St. Elizabeth’s Medical Center in Boston, where she has so many wonderful pieces hung around the maternity department. Impressed by her samples, we contacted her for our twin daughters newborn photoshoot. I can honestly say it was an incredible experience and the work was just fantastic and amazing. The scheduling process is simple, the studio is warm and inviting Diana is a true professional. She works so well with newborns, capturing all their beauty.
The shoot lasted 4 hrs (again we had twins) but there is a changing station, bottle warmers and everything needed to take care of the kids. Lastly, after seeing her work we were blown away and ordered everything! We will also be using her again for their 1 yr old photos.
You will not be disappointed in her work!

I highly recommend Diana from DSP for maternity and newborn photography, wow! Spellbound by the excitement of our first baby, we wanted to make sure we had a photographer that could fully capture those first few moments of parenthood as well as the last few bittersweet moments of pregnancy.
We first met Diana during our maternity shoot, which was so much fun. She’s remarkably creative, spontaneous, kind and energetic; I couldn’t imagine a better photographer to work with during both of these times. We felt very comfortable with her and her assistant, who brought us through the previously unknown process. She made sure to get a thorough idea of what we were like as a couple, so she could cater both photo shoots to our taste and personality, which worked out great since she was able to incorporate many features that were natural, candid, fun, rustic, and vintage.
Her studio in Framingham, MA was very easy to get to, relaxed, and comfortable for the newborn photo shoot. She spent around 4 hours for the shoot, and we were able to take breaks, snack, and breastfeed in between, which was wonderful. She had an abundance of fabrics and props to meet every style. It was a lot of fun picking out different ideas, which she helped cultivate after knowing our personalities a bit.
We absolutely LOVED all our pictures and cannot wait to make beautiful holiday presents for family from them this year. I should also add that when the delivery service returned our photo book to the studio after we were unable to pick it up, she actually had someone personally drop it off inside our condo building.
Thank you Diana! We are very excited that we picked the package that included Charley’s 1-​year cake-​eating birthday shoot!

I have used DSP for maternity and newborn photography for all three of my kids. Diana’s attention to detail and artistic touch makes for memorable and unique photographs.
DSP is a full-​service studio that offers make –up, wardrobe assistance, props and backgrounds, as well as offsite outdoor photography. It’s totally easy & painless!
She is a true professional, and you won’t find a better newborn photographer anywhere in New England.
I get many compliments on her pictures that I have posted on my FB page as well as the ones in my home and the ones I had given as gifts. She is a creative genius!

As a new mom I can tell you that working with Diana and having your newborn’s photos taken by her is by far THE easiest and most relaxing part of those first weeks of motherhood. I started my photographer hunt while still pregnant, because having your first baby means giving them the best the world has to offer (you moms know what I mean about obsessing over every detail before the lil’ one is even here)…so why not start with having the most perfect photos of your most perfect baby :)
I contacted a bunch of newborn photographers, and I have to tell you from the start Diana made a great impression. She promptly returned my request for info with a personal phone call (that’s right, real voice phone call, not email, not generic reply with pamphlet list of stuff). That’s when we hit it off, from that first conversation.
I felt so at ease with her that I even signed up for the maternity/​newborn photo package… and that took a lot for me to do, because I certainly did not feel glorious in front of a camera 9 months pregant (and I ended up giving birth 48 hrs after that photo shoot!!) The photos were phenomenal (see her examples on her website, she makes moms look and feel like goddesses).
Then for the newborn shoot she was so gentle and careful with our lil girl, even wearing white gloves when handling her. The photos turned out amazing!!! I still get compliments on them… mainly because I can still show them off on my phone app of photos she gives you. That’s right, a phone app with all your newborn shots, that comes as part of the package. That way you don’t have to choose just one to show.
I HIGHLY recommend Diana and her studio. There’s every reason why she’s been named one of Boston’s best.

Diana Sechrist is absolutely AMAZING! I saved her information after I saw her work before I was even pregnant with my first daughter back in 2009 because I knew if I ever had kids that Diana had to be the one to photograph them. Then I had my first daughter and the pictures and birth announcements were the most beautiful I have ever seen. Two years later baby number 2 came and I called Diana right away because I knew I had to have her. She is so professional and is the «baby whisperer» as we call her. We will be using her again in the future!

Diana took the most beautiful, natural and fun photographs of our 7 month old baby. We decided to use her studio because it was April and the weather was iffy. She made us (and him) feel so at ease and she caught the most perfect images of him. We couldn’t have been more pleased with Diana’s work and the photo shoot was really fun. I highly recommend Diana Sechrist Photography– you won’t be disappointed!

Diana took pictures of our 3.5 month old daughter and they turned out beautifully! In the most creative and special ways, she was able to capture the sweetness of our little girl and everything that makes her so special to us. We loved that Diana took the pictures at our house too — we were all so much more relaxed because of it. She even snatched up some incredible pictures of our big dog. She knew exactly how to treat all of us, baby and pooch and parent. I highly recommend her!

Diana took absolutely beautiful pictures of my newborn. She was super professional — very knowledgable, great with infants (i.e. didn’t mind that my baby decided it was time to eat twice during the photoshoot), and had great backdrops from which to choose. The pictures turned out amazing and you can order yours straight from the website. A great experience overall — highly recommended!

I recently moved from L.A. to Boston and was in search of a photographer who could shoot my head shots comparable to what I had in L.A. Not only did Diana shoot amazing photographs, she surpassed my expectations. I ended up having her shoot my two young children who are in the entertainment business, as well. Diana has this unique ability to capture our personality while subtly adding her own photographic vision.
