Services &
Investment

I am a lifestyle photographer with a keen eye for capturing moments, specializing in family, newborn, seniors, & personal branding.

I firmly believe that good family photography is, and should be, an investment. Just as you would not book a contractor on price alone, you should not book a photographer based on what she charges. I want to connect with each of my families, and get to know them. My goal is to grow long-lasting relationships, not one-off transactional relationships. I am honored to connect with the same families year-over-year.

If you are interested in booking a session, I am happy to speak with you one-on-one to discuss your budget and your goals. I am also happy to accept your session payment in installments, beginning with a session fee to hold your spot.

The Family Session


It all starts with a friendly phone call, DM, or email exchange. I want to meet you and learn about your session goals.

All family sessions include up to one hour of shoot time at a mutually-agreed-upon location. My favorite time to meet is in the hour or two before sunset so that we can capture that golden glow. Twice a year (early Spring and late Autumn) I offer a limited amount of mini-sessions that are very short and sweet. Bigger family? No problem! We will work it out.

All sessions result in a private online gallery of at hand-edited, gorgeous images of your family.

A $250 deposit is due at the booking of your family session.

The Newborn Session


This session is for newborns up to 3 months old.

Your session includes up to 2 hours of shoot time in the comfort of your own home—I come to you.

Your session will result in at least 75 hand-edited, gorgeous photos of your little one, along with a variety of family portraits featuring human (and fur) siblings.

All of your session’s hand-edited digital images, plus print credit that may be redeemed on any pro prints of your choice, are included with the purchase of any newborn session package.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Just visit my contact page to fill out a simple form, or you can email me directly at caitrin@caitrindunphy.com From there we can figure out what type of session you desire, and all the time, location, and subject details.

  • I LOVE to photograph families in their homes, where everyone can be free to be themselves. All of my newborn sessions take place in the home. Family sessions can take place indoors or outdoors at home, or at a lovely outdoor location that is convenient for all of us. Senior Sessions take place at several tried and true lovely outdoor spots here in Needham, Newton, or Wellesley. Personal Branding sessions can take place at your workplace, your home, in a natural light studio that I reserve, or outdoors.

  • When you book a session with me, we are going to have a nice little chat about wardrobe. I am a big fan of comfort and keeping it simple. Of course, this can be interpreted in countless ways. My rule of thumb is to wear something that is similar to what you would wear if you were going to a daytime party. Jeans are always great, as are maxi-dresses. Keep the dressy shoes and high heels at home, unless they are wedges. Do you all need to match? Nope. Should you run to the mall and buy the same color top for everyone? Nope (your future self will thank you.) However, I DO have ONE RULE, and it is for the mama of the family to give herself enough time to actually try on her outfit to make sure that she feels comfortable and BEAUTIFUL. Kids always look great. No one really cares what the men wear (sorry, guys!) Ladies, make sure to treat yourselves. Buy that new top/dress/chunky necklace that you have had your eye on. After all, these photos are forever.

    Senior photos are a little different, and deserve a one-on-one phone call that allows us to strategize the best looks for our shoot.

  • My goal is to deliver your final gallery to you within two weeks after our session. I will email you a secure link to your private gallery of images, which will be open for another two weeks’ time. After your proofing window has closed, I will circle back and personally assist you with redeeming the print credit that is included in your session package.

  • I promise not to make you meet me in the rain (unless, of course that is what you want.) Clouds and overcast skies are actually great to shoot in, but if it’s actively raining, we will work together to come up with a Plan B.

  • I will send you a secure link via Quickbooks to pay for your session online using secure bank transfer or credit card. I also accept personal checks and cash.

  • Print credit can be seen as cash credit that you may redeem in my pro lab on prints of your choice. You will identify which photos you want printed, and in what sizes, and I will place your order for you and ship it directly to your home. I try to make the ordering process as simple as possible. Print credit expires within 12 months of your session.

  • I absolutely do! I love to design albums for my clients—I do all of the heavy lifting, but I let my clients do the fun still like choose the album color, cover wording, and font color.
