Newborn, family & senior photographer Braintree MA

Hi there!

Welcome to Betsy Hynes Photography—a fine art child photography studio devoted to preserving your family’s story, from the precious sweetness of those first newborn days to the proud milestone of high school graduation.

MODERN, LUXURY PHOTOGRAPHY SESSIONS

Newborn Sessions

There is nothing in this world quite like a newborn baby! Capturing your baby's newness, their precious newborn details, how perfectly they fit into your arms and those first family portraits is my absolute passion.

Baby & Child Sessions

From baby's first time sitting up to first steps to first birthday and beyond, these sessions are great for capturing all the important milestones. These are great for older kids too- think updated yearly photo, First Holy Communion, first lost tooth and more!

Family Sessions

A natural, candid, lightly posed session capturing your family love story. Plan on lots of cuddling, playing, climbing, laughing and silliness. My goal is to document your child's

real personality, "that looks just like him/her" is the best compliment! Sessions are shot outdoors and pets are welcome too!

Senior Sessions

Senior year only happens once... let's make it unforgettable!

My senior sessions are a relaxed, fun experience full of natural poses and beautiful light that bring out your true personality. You'll walk away with modern, stylish, social-media-worthy images you'll be excited to share (and your parents will love too!).

Meet Betsy

I've always loved kids (especially babies!) I even have a Masters degree in Early Childhood Education because I had originally planned on being a teacher. Then I had my own children, and bought my first camera. Bridget and Colin were my original muses that started the ball rolling.I also have a husband (and sometimes assistant!) George of 25 years and a big, lovable goofball dog Gus as well as 2.5 cats. For almost 15 vears now I've been photographing children. I help new moms, families and seniors take photos that convey emotion with a modern, timeless twist. My studio is 10 miles south of Boston in Braintree, MA. I also shoot outdoors on the south shore.

A few kind words...

Betsy Hynes is an absolute pro and producer of amazing work. We have done 2 shoots with her and all the pictures have come out fantastic. Our newborn photo shoot with our babies hangs proudly in our living room. Not only are the photos great, but Betsy creates such a comfortable and fun atmosphere for kiddos to relax and let their smiles shine in the sessions. Absolutely worth the investment in family memories!

Betsy has done my last two babies newborn shoots and will continue to be our family photographer. She’s truly gifted with newborns and you will never ever regret getting these images. I was half asleep due to exhaustion and she took both my babies and made quality art that’ll help me never forget this tender fleeting newborn stage. So creative and personalized not just cookie cutter newborn photos. She is also a friendly and lovely person! She loves her work and it shows. Can’t recommend her enough and happy I have her as my four kids grow.

Betsy recently took my son's senior photos and we had a wonderful experience! The location was perfect, offering various settings (beach, bridge, rocks, park, inlets) to take pics. My son's animated personality and Betsy's laid back style had us all laughing and enjoying ourselves throughout the entire session. When meeting to review all the prints, they were first presented as a slide show, with music (loved it!), and we were then tasked with going through and making our difficult decisions. They all came out beautiful and we loved each and every one!Thank you so much, Betsy for making this experience so enjoyable!

Joyce C., Hanover, MA

Betsy has been photographing our children for over 8 years. Newborn shoots, summer, fall, Christmas we have done them all and there is no one else I would go to for photos of our family. Not only is Betsy an amazing photographer, she and her husband are two of of the most kind people you will ever meet. (Insert George holding an umbrella over my family’s heads inbetween shots in the rain during our latest fall session).
