Just imagine having a piece of fine art that not only honors the beauty of someone's special, but it holds time still and evokes your love for them every day. I invite you to pause from the frenetic world we live in to remember what's important. Take a moment to celebrate your loved ones and capture them - right now, in this moment in time - as they truly are.
It is amazing to witness the changes in the first year of life and watch a child's personality unfold. We have discovered that there are distinct milestones in a baby's development from birth to their first birthday and we invite you to participate in one of our plans. Learn more about our premier baby photography program north of Boston.
So why not pause time right now, honor the deep love you have for them and capture the amazing qualities of this chapter in their life?. One minute they are a tiny baby in your arms, and before you know it, they are off to school and becoming a bright child filled with hopes and dreams. As a parent, you undoubtedly feel torn between wanting to hold on highly to your child's innocence and wonder in the present moment, while you feel excitement and anticipation for whom they will become in the future.
There are times when it makes most sense to come to you - at your home or at a location which best describes who you are or holds more meaning to you. In some instances, being in your own environment can be easier to facilitate the coordination of everyone being on time for the portrait and being fully present.

In 2004, Bobbie Bush did a headshot of me as I was to be honest by Salem State University. I have never liked photographs of myself. I really liked this one and everybody else loved it! I recently decided that it was no longer possible to use this headshot as much to my surprise, 17 years have gone past. My second experience with Bobbie was just as pleasurable as the first and furthermore, I not only like this photo but I love it and so does everyone else. Bobbie Bush is a true professional and yet makes what could be a stressful situation truly easy and enjoyable. I highly recommend her to you.

We absolutely adored working with Bobbie! From the very beginning, she was flexible in scheduling and fit us in quickly. She was professional but also fun, and was SO patient with our two little ones. Even more so, when we brought big brother for little sister's photos and he was particularly challenging, she was even more patient with him and us and did everything to crack a smile.
Our photos, framed pictures, holiday cards and albums came out so exceptional. Our families and friends commented on what a magnificent job she did. It was worth every penny to have these special pictures to remember our babies by. We will definitely be calling Bobbie again In the future for more photos of our family. Thank you Bobbie!

Bobbie Bush Portrait Artist came highly recommended to me. I very recently, had professional music photos done to use for upcoming website, recording and other promotional music events. Bobbie's taste, attention to detail, lighting and guidance is impeccable. I am thrilled with the results as Bobbie made it very comfortable while photographing both my music partner and me at her excellent studio.
Her suggestions, professionalism and demeanor while working with us made for results that display fun, confidence, excitement and the idea that the subjects are masters at their (our) craft. Bobbie's turn around time, follow up and help after her work was done was the topper! Highly recommended!

Bobbie Bush was amazing at photographing all 3 of my children as newborns. Each experience she took time to make sure to get a great assortment of photos for us to choose from! My third child was extremely fussy and difficult to get many of the poses I wanted. Bobbie took a lot of time to get some great shots and allowed for me to take as much time as necessary to nurse and calm down my daughter.
Although we got a ton of great pictures, we were looking for 1 more pose for our canvas so Bobbie had us come back another day to finish the shoot. Everytime I look at the pictures I not only enjoy remembering my babies being so tiny, I also love the memory of those days and the actual experience of having them photographed! I would highly recommend taking your babies to Bobbie Bush!

Bobbie photographed me, my wife and my son. It truly was an amazing experience. She was so professional and talented at getting me and my family to laugh, smile and be candid and natural. She did so with ease. My four year old was captivated by her. The pictures came out phenomenally. When my wife and I went to Bobbie's studio to view them, it was very special to see what Bobbie captured.
We never thought going to her studio to view the pictures would be so emotional and so moving. Bobbie is wonderful. The quality of the pictures is wonderful. They are hanging in my home. We will use her again and again and again.

Our entire experience with Bobbie was wonderful. From our initial conversation with her, to our most visit where we reviewed her breathtaking work, Bobbie was extremely warm, professional and talented. She put us at ease throughout our entire experience (especially grateful when dealing with a 9 day old baby) and produced incredible pictures that we will always cherish!
Her studio is beautiful, comfortable and inviting. Thank you again so much Bobbie! We would recommend you to anyone and everyone and look forward to coming back for more pictures in the future!

Our photo session with Bobbie was fantastic! We scheduled to have family photos with our new 8 day old baby boy, and upon arriving to her studio we we greeted with smiles and enthusiasm and an environment that was very relaxing. We could tell Bobbie was extremely excited, but took her time to make us feel comfortable, offer us snacks, coffee water etc.
The studio had every prop you could think of to add to a special personal photo, but she also encouraged us to bring our own toys/stuffed animals. She sat us down to review what we were looking to portray in the photos, gave her expertise on what would bring out a great photo with our child being the focus in all photos. The skill at which she molded each shot to bring out the best traits and characteristics in our new baby boy, while paying attention to light, direction etc.
She had wonderful tricks to keep our little guy calm and relaxed the entire session. It was a joy to see Bobbie perform her mastered skills in taking absolutely breathtaking photos of our baby boy. If you want easy scheduling, comfortable environment, a great photographer who knows how to work a camera and the photo setting, Bobbie is the photographer you need to contact.

Just completed newborn photos and prints. Bobbie's photos were amazing! She really knows her stuff. The entire experience was extremely well organized and enabled plenty of time for both the shoot and choosing photos. Bobbie was great with my son and was able to snap the perfect shots. The studio was set up to accommodate newborns and was well heated.
There was also a place to feed and change baby. I highly recommend her photography and plan to return for my son's first birthday. Bobbie was very kind and easy to work with. Her personality and talent made this a memorable experience.

Bobbie has been my family's photographer for the past five years. I can't believe it's been that long. She is a phenomenal photographer who catches the very essence of a family portrait and she is the baby whisperer. She did both of my children's new born photos and they are nothing short of amazing. I would recommend her to anyone and I think anyone should seek her service if your looking for great family, maternity, or new-born shots. She is well worth it.

I was referred to Bobbie for a professional head shot. She is great. I am not photogenic at all, she made me feel comfortable. Also was very good at getting a picture that expressed my professional personality subtly. I was very impressed with her work. The studio Is clean, organized and very professional. I am really looking forward to using her for a family photo. The work I saw in her studio was really impressive.

Bobbie was an absolute delight to work with! In addition to being a phenomenal photographer, it was clear throughout our session that Bobbie was a consummate professional - dedicated to creating beautiful photographs that captured our vision as an ensemble. We worked with Bobbie to create headshots and photographs of our professional chamber music ensemble and she was wonderful at working with us and our (fairly large) instruments to create images that captured not only the beauty of the lines on the instruments themselves, but also the musical aesthetic of our ensemble. Looking at the photographs afterwards it was easy to imagine the photos themselves drawing audiences to future concerts - we couldn't have asked for better photographs or a more enjoyable experience all around!
The photo session itself was also a really fun and exciting experience. Although we were nervous about posing, Bobbie and her staff made us feel relaxed and welcomed immediately and we had so much fun during the shoot itself that the resulting photos are not only beautiful images for use in promoting our group, but also memories of a delightful morning.
Throughout the session, Bobbie was tireless in her pursuit of poses and ideas that would help us to convey the image we had discussed ahead of time - she was wonderful working with lighting, props, angles, and all manner of backdrops to ensure that the photos fit with our vision for the photos. Bobbie was also really helpful in advance of the shoot, asking for more information about what we were looking for and researching other musician/ensemble headshots for inspiration - we were really impressed with her attention to detail and genuine interest in helping us to find the best way to present ourselves.
The photographs that she captured showed a beauty and joy in ourselves, our instruments, and our ensemble dynamic that we hadn't even realized was possible to capture outside of live performance - looking through the images after the session the photos literally took my breath away. An absolutely beautiful experience all around - we can't recommend Bobbie enough!

I am shocked that there are not that many reviews here for Bobbi Bush and her staff! I had newborn pictures taken with her and dealt with her assistant Maria and had an amazing experience all around. This is my first child, and I've found that when you're pregnant, you run into a lot of folks who are genuinely passionate about kids, babies, and pregnant mommies and bellies.
People are not afraid to go all out and gush about all of it. Total strangers share their stories and want to know about yours. Professionals you run in to, doctors, nurses, store employees, food service professionals.they all have experiences with babies and children and many of them know just what to do to make your first experience a great one.
This is Bobbi Bush! She is an all around professional! She's personable, attentive, kind, caring, efficient, and AMAZING with the babies! I kept calling her the baby whisperer! Her customer service is literally some of the best around (which is hard to find). Her staff are just as professional and attentive. I could not have wanted for any more in the sessions or the finished product. She even does consults between the shoot and the printing to make sure you get what you want. I love Bobbi!

Bobbie Bush has been our family photographer for about three years now. She is extremely talented and works collaboratively with children and families. We've worked with Bobbie many times since our daughter was born and are always thrilled beyond words by the finished results. Bobbie's Baby Plan helped us capture so many precious images throughout our daughter's first year of life, then we began working with Bobbie on both studio toddler and outdoor family sessions. Hiring Bobbie was truly the best gift we could have given ourselves as new parents. Not only is she gifted at photography, but working with her is seamless and fun.

I hired Bobbie Bush based on a recommendation from a friend. I retained her to do a senior management team photo for our publicly traded company as well as headshots of team members. Her work was fantastic. She was easy to work with. She did a great job capturing the best of our admittedly homely looking team. I'd hire Bobbie again in a heart beat.

We have had great experiences with Bobbie. My daughter is afraid of bright light and flashes. Bobbie was very patient and worked with her to make her feel comfortable. During this session, Bobbie was able to capture all of the love shared by my two children; an almost 5 yr. old and 3-month old baby. Bobbie's work is both wonderful and creative. Her studio space is warm, inviting and very comfortable. I would recommend Bobbie Bush to anyone.

Absolutely loved working with Bobbie! She is so friendly, professional, creative and patient with little ones! When we compiled our collage at our office session, I literally cried. The photos came out perfect, capturing exactly the feel we wanted, and the quality of the prints can't be beat. Found out the next day our daughter was fighting a cold, but Bobbie was still able to capture her sweet, smiling side. I recommend her to anyone.

From the minute we left the photo shoot, I was anxious to see the pictures. I had already known that I wanted to buy them all. Bobbie was great with my son and getting him to smile and enjoy his time there. It really was all about him and he knew that! I had never seen my son "ham it up" like that before. He smiled, he squealed, and shook his body in excitement- the experience alone is well worth the money.
My husband and I both left with tears in our eyes and are still talking about how well our son did and how much fun it was. Bobbie truly takes her time with your pictures and cares about her work, putting in great detail and time. Even though you have to come back to view the pictures another day ( we're super busy and it seemed like extra work) it was WELL WORTH IT. Bobbie provided us with a great slideshow presentation of all of his best pictures and worked with us on choosing our favorites. Though we were hesistant about the money-Bobbie definitely works with you to allow you to afford it! Can't wait to get my pictures and show them off!

We went to see our pics and they were out of this world! From the VERY first shot of my son, I had tears in my eyes. Now come on people, I know you have about a hundred thousand pics of your kids with your fun little digital camera that's the size of a deck of cards, but believe me you have not seen the like of the photos that Bobbie Bush can take.
There is truly nothing like photos from an artist who knows what she is doing. If you are thinking "I can't afford it".can you afford NOT to properly archive the look and expressions of your kids at the age they are now? My son is ten, and my deep regret is that I did not have this done sooner! I just can't wait to get these photos up on the wall. I can't wait to see the look on my mom's face when we give her some pics as a gift. PRICELESS!
