You wouldn't know it from the photo but this day was INCREDIBLY windy. It's why we had the entire #arnoldarboretum to ourselves. Sometimes the most beautiful days have elements working against us, but it's in our perseverance that we are rewarded with stunning images. It reminds me of the maternity session I had a couple of weeks ago during the massive snowstorm. Things have been quiet on my account lately because I've been trying to juggle so many things behind the scenes. Emails have been piling up but I'm trying to get back to everyone within 2 business days. If I missed your email please please reach out again. I get about 30 client emails a day at least and I try and respond with care to each one. But there's also a lot of junk mail that hides more important emails. Thank you for everyone's patience. The last week for the website launch game is upon us! No one has found the headshot photo yet so I might have to make it easier. Desktop version is easier to find the images than on mobile just as a hint! One is hidden on the Signature Session page (HINT HINT). Last submissions are accepted on Mother's Day. . . . . . #bostonbabyphotographer #bostonphotographer #newbornsession #familyphotographyboston #bostonfamilyphotographerfamilyportraits #newbornphotographer #bostonfamilyphotographers #newtonfamilyphotographer #massachusettslifestylephoto #bostonmaternityphotographer #bostonchildphotography #bostonfamilyphotographer #bostonbabyphotography #childhoodunplugged #newbornphotosession #newenglandphotographer #bostonnewbornphotography #nhnewbornphotographer #bostonfamilyphotographer📸 #bostonmoms #newbornphotography #bostonnewbornphotographer #newenglandfamilyphotographer #bostonfamilyphotography #bostonlifestylephotographer #bostonnewbornphotographers #arnoldarboretumfamilyphoto #arnoldarboretumphotoshoot #arnoldarboretumofharvard 
Day 3 of #aapiheritagemonth and featuring another incredible Boston area-based #AAPI wedding vendor: @forevermarkflowers This is the first of two stunning floral crowns created by this Newton-based florist. I've worked with Vivian a few times now and every time she's created something beautiful and unique - truly eye-catching pieces. For this cherry blossom-themed shoot, the only things discussed were some architectural crowns that would be in the colour scheme of the blossoms and she came back with this and a second piece that I cannot wait to share as well. Modelled by the incredibly talented @jalyssb wearing a gown by @bremelia with beautiful natural hair by @jalyssb and knockout makeup by @bombchellebeautymua again. These ladies truly created magic. @jalyssb does high-fashion posing like she's been doing it forever (and she's just a teenager). Mesmerizing to watch her move. Thank you so much to this incredible team of AAPI and AAPI ally artists and models. ..... #weddinginspo #bostonweddings #weddinginspiration #massachusettsphotographer #weddingideas #bostonphotographer #newenglandweddingphotographer #weddingwire #bostonweddingphotographer #newenglandweddings #newenglandweddingplanner #weddingphotography #newenglandwedding #bridetobe #bride #lookslikefilm #theknot #bostonbride #bostonfamilyphotographer #junebugweddings #bostonwedding #aapiwomen #aapirepresentation #aapicommunity #aapivoices #aapiwomenlead #aapiheritagemonth 
During this and every May, we commemorate #AAPI Heritage Month and celebrate 24+ million Americans of Asian and Pacific Islander descent. Those with AAPI heritage are integral to our nation's fabric and have contributed to every field and profession. This pretty much sums up what I want to bring focus on over the next several months on a personal project that I've joined forces with @_jennyluu and @bombchellebeautymua and @bremelia to work on. This is our first production featuring the talented @thelillypark and @eastmeetsdress . In my next post, I'll share more from this editorial shoot featuring the ever-talented @forevermarkflowers and @bremelia's gowns. This will be an ongoing project also with @steelandflintsociety that I'm hoping will grow into something more. I'll be sharing more details in the coming days. Today I wanted to just share the first project focusing on #AAPIweddingvendors #aapiwedding and our allies. If you would like to be a part of this project, please reach out to me. I would love to meet more allies and fellow AAPIs in the area! Thank you to all of my friends that have been so supportive already with this project. I’ve been slacking off/ quiet because I wanted to get some stuff ready behind the scenes, but you’ll be hearing from me again soon. . . . . . #weddinginspo #bostonweddings #weddinginspiration #massachusettsphotographer #weddingideas #bostonphotographer #newenglandweddingphotographer #weddingwire #bostonweddingphotographer #newenglandweddings #newenglandweddingplanner #weddingphotography #newenglandwedding #bridetobe #bride #lookslikefilm #theknot #bostonbride #bostonfamilyphotographer #junebugweddings #bostonwedding #aapiwomen #aapirepresentation #aapicommunity #aapivoices #aapiwomenlead #aapiheritagemonth 
Some baby turned 2!! This little fella was my LAST session in 2020 before I shut down for a few months. We had originally scheduled for Tuesday after the mandated shutdown for his 1 year photos, but I saw the closure coming and reached out to the mom. Thankfully she had a cake ready and all his decorations a couple of days early!!! So we rushed to have the session HOURS before the city went on lockdown. A year later and things have gotten better but the world is still a little bit funny. His grandparents are vaccinated and flew in from the West Coast to celebrate by his side. On the day of the session his dad found out that a paper he wrote on COVID-19 got published so it was an exciting birthday indeed. . . . . . #newenglandfamilyphotographer #newenglandphotographer #familyphotography #bostonmaternityphotographer #bostonfamilyphotographer #bostonfamilyphotography #bostonbabyphotography #bostonfamilyphotographers #nhnewbornphotographer #livethelittlethings #bostonbabyphotographer #familyphotographer #bostonnewbornphotography #bostonnewbornphotographer #bostonfamilyphotographer📸 #bostonfamilyphotographerfamilyportraits #bostonphotographer 
The last couple of weeks has been nutty with multiple shoots a day/wedding/getting something set up behind the scenes. As a result, I've neglected my IG account! This incredible local (Somerville) poet is about to be featured in Poets & Writers magazine. I was commissioned by Poets & Writers magazine to get some simple images that would be siloed and edited out in post to feature this incredibly talented artist. For this job I was requested to emulate some other images (no concern for background as it will be removed. Full body) they had created for past issues in their Q&A section. I think we really brought out her personality in this quick session. Stunning and incredibly talented... with a great sense of fashion. What an honour to have her in front of my lens. . . . . . #linkedinheadshots #bostonbrandingphotographer #professionalheadshot #bostonheadshots #bostonphotographer #headshots #professionalheadshotphotographer #headshotphotographer #personalbrandingphotography #personalbrandingphotographer #bostoncorporateheadshot #bostonheadshot #bostonheadshotphotographer #portraits #femaleportrait #headshotphotography #bostonpersonalbranding #bostonheadshotphotography #bostonportraitphotography #corporateheadshotphotographer #corporateheadshots #bostonportraitphotographer 
These snowball-fight-loving beautiful folks are tying the knot today!!! I can't wait to see them again. Their first date was @a4cade and they went back to ask for a coin to make an engagement ring !! The wonderful folks at A4cade obliged and gave them a whole bucket of coins for the occasion!!! Talk about incredible service - above and beyond. This is how the ring turned out. I just love it!! The one thing about the pandemic is that I've been on social media chats a lot more than before. I'm an extreme introvert by nature so I generally do not enjoy socializing because I get very stressed out. But the pandemic has opened my eyes and also given me space to actually enjoy conversations and to meet new people. I guess before I was just completely overwhelmed. The pandemic has made me slow down and it's made me a better person (or at least a little less weird). I enjoy the chats I've been having with people on IG. After this week I'll be back online more often. It's just an absolutely insane week. I can't wait to share what I've been up to behind the scenes. I'll be offline most of today and half of tomorrow. Emails will likely get responded to on Monday. Sorry everyone! Oh!! When booking, please let me know if you're interested in a Simple or Signature session. I have two types now for families. I hope to send out a newsletter announcing the winner of the 'speed round' later this week! Someone has found all 3! . . . . . #bostonweddingphotographer #newenglandphotographer #bostonweddingphotography #bostonengagementsession #capecodweddingphotographer #newenglandwedding #maineweddingphotographer #bostonphotographer #theknotnewengland #newenglandweddingphotographer #newhampshireweddingphotographer #newyorkweddingphotographer #ctweddingphotographer #engagementshoot #newenglandadventurephotographer #bostonweddings #bostoncouplesession #bostonengagementphotographers #bostonengagementphoto #rhodeislandweddingphotographer #bostonbride #bostonengagementphotographer #bostonengagement #maineweddingphotographers #newenglandbride #dirtybootsandmessyhair #engagementsession #massachusettsweddingphotographer #massachusettsphotographer #bostonwedding 
Thank you so much for all the love with my last snow blossom post!!! So many people only see the finished product but it was good to share what goes into something like that. Yesterday was a doozy of a day. I had 3 sessions and finished editing this fun elopement in Marblehead! At the end of their ceremony, these two agreed to play with light a bit and we got some sparkling water and just went for it. Note to self: sparkling water (though cleaner) does NOT fizz as much as real champagne! But now I know how to fizz up a champagne bottle for the REAL thing. We tried two brands, but they both were kinda duds. But it looks great for the photos ha! And no one was sticky after (including my gear). I answered 95% of my inbox yesterday. I have some more to get through today. This week I will have limited access just because it's blossom season. I'm about to open June for bookings next week for those on my wait list. I'll announce the winner to the scavenger hunt (first to find all 3!!!) in the newsletter as well. If you're not on it, sign up.

Thank you for all of the love I got yesterday about this image. It was a long shot for sure. About 2 hours before this image was taken I didn't even think I was going to have a session that day. We had originally postponed our session because the weather called for rain for 2.5 days straight. Her outfit didn't come in until the night before the session so we couldn't beat the rain. But it all ended up working out. I posted yesterday that it was lucky. Then a friend told me it was so much more than that. “That's not luck. That's hard work and talent. Working with a chaotic system like the weather and making photos that look like that isn't easy. It's a super power. You have to work hard to get moments like those. Plus your gift of getting others to trust you and your vision. I saw that weather, I know it wasn't easy to convince anyone to leave the house, let alone stand outside and pose for photos”. This comment turned my entire mindset on its head. It made me think about what was necessary to line things up for us to be “lucky”;. I was in touch with this mama and built a relationship through our emails and our video consult. She saw my portfolio. She loved my work. She trusted me. I have shared quite a few snow sessions this year and she knew what it COULD look like. We were given lemons on our 'blossom' spring session and made lemonade. SHE made this happen. She met me within 1.5 hours of my text ready to go. The weather stopped snowing about 40 minutes later and turned to rain. We made the window. So thankful for her trust. There were outtakes and this could have failed. But high risk, high reward. See some of the outtakes in my stories today. #bostonbabyphotographer #newenglandfamilyphotographer #bostonfamilyphotographer #bostonnewbornphotography #newenglandphotographer #motherhood #bostonnewbornphotographer #bostonfamilyphotography #bostonmaternity #clickinmoms #nhmaternityphotographer #bostonfamilyphotographer #newenglandfamilyphotographer #bostonphotographer #maternityshoot #bostonbabyphotography #capecodfamilyphotographer #bostonmaternityphotographer 
The website launch is now LIVE! Thanks to those that have been playing my launch game all weekend! I have been getting some great feedback and also people finding some broken links! Just a reminder about the game (you can find details on my homepage at www.bellawangphotography.com) that you can earn discounts off a 2021 session! And you can earn extra entries by telling me about errors you find on my main website. THANK YOU!!! All of the treasure hunt images are ON the website (main one, not wedding one, not the blog). This photoshoot is now being finalized today! Their aunt wasn't able to join them for their wedding in 2020 so they made it a special occasion and celebrated with a photo session when she arrived! HOW BEAUTIFUL!!! Outfits by @thehanbok what incredible workmanship! I love to infuse cultures into my photo session. Family and culture are what weddings are all about! This was the quintessential 2021 wedding - coming together when we've been kept apart and celebrating as a family. Now that it's safer with vaccinations underway, I can only imagine how many occasions for celebration there will be this year. . #newenglandweddings #newenglandweddingphotographer #bostonphotographer #elopementphotographer #weddinginspo #theknot #bostonbride #bostonweddingphotography #engagementphotos #bostonwedding #hanbok#junebugweddings #newenglandweddingplanner #massachusettsweddingphotographer #hanbokdress #koreanwedding #groom #bostonweddingplanner #brideandgroom #newenglandwedding #bostonweddings #boston #newenglandbride #weddingwire #loveauthentic #bostonweddingphotographer #weddinginspiration #koreanweddingphotographer #weddingideas #bostonengagementphotographer 
Ahh so I'm starting to freak out about the blossom season! I think it's really starting to bloom now. My neighbourhood looks like spring. Anyone else getting excited for things to look a little less like death out there? People have been asking about where to catch the blossoms. There are a tonne of options. Some of my favourite locations are just in people's yards even! You don't have to go far. I have a list of locations in my Spring Planner for photoshoots. You can find it on my blog. Link to my blog in my profile. If you're subscribed to my newsletter, you'll get a copy delivered right to your inbox. AND THE WEBSITE IS ALMOST DONE!!!! I am finally launching this Friday at NOON!!! . . . . . #bostonfamilyphotography #familyphotographer #bostonkids #photographerboston #bostonphotographer #bostonportraitphotographer #bostonfamilyphotographer #familyphotoshoot #bostonmaphotographer #bostonfamilyphotos #newenglandphotographer #massachusettslifestylephoto #modernmaternity #momtobe #maternityphotography #maternitystyle #maternitydress #maternityphotoshoot #pregnancy #motherhood #maternitysession #pregnancyphotoshoot #maternitypics #babybump #maternityphotographer #maternityshoot #maternityfashion #mommytobe #maternityportraits #maternityphotoshoot
