Welcome to the World, Baby Mattan; A Newborn Photography Session in Chestnut Hill, MA

We’re so excited to introduce baby Mattan, a beautiful newborn from Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts, who visited Alternate Angles Studio at just two weeks old. His newborn photo session was filled with love, calm moments, and a special connection to his Ethiopian roots.

Mattan’s parents brought a traditional Ethiopian cloth to include in the session — a meaningful piece of their heritage that added warmth and personality to the images. As a Boston-area newborn photographer, I always encourage families to bring personal or cultural items to their sessions. Including these details helps tell a story that’s unique to your baby and makes each portrait deeply special.

At Alternate Angles, we specialize in newborn photography and baby milestone sessions during the first year of life. From those early sleepy days to sitting, crawling, and celebrating the first birthday, our goal is to create timeless images that help families remember every stage.

Mattan’s session was peaceful and beautiful. He slept sweetly while we gently posed him with soft, neutral wraps and the meaningful fabric his family brought. We captured close-ups of his tiny features as well as full-body shots that show just how small and perfect he is. Every photo reflects not only how new he is, but also how loved he already is.

It’s a true joy to work with families during this special time. Watching new parents beam with love and pride, especially during their first professional photo session, is something we never take for granted. For Mattan’s parents, it was clear that this session was more than just photos — it was about honoring their family’s culture, heritage, and the beginning of a brand-new chapter.

To Mattan’s family: thank you for trusting us to capture these precious early moments. Your session was a beautiful blend of tradition, love, and new beginnings, and we’re honored to be part of it.
