Hi, there
I’m Margaret (aka Meg),

A Boston-area photographer who believes the best photos are full of color, laughter, and heart. I photograph families, babies, and celebrations of all kinds. I even photograph business portraits. It would probably be a shorter list to tell you what I don’t photograph, but you get the idea. I photograph people.

If you’re looking for photography that feels natural, fun, and deeply human (no AI slop here!), you’re in the right place.

Based in the Boston area (shout out to all of you just north of the city!), I offer family photography, baby & newborn photography, and celebration photography for clients who value connection and joy over stiff poses. My sessions are designed to be easy, fun, and stress-free, resulting in images that feel timeless, vibrant, and true to you.

Photography Services i provide

Real life. Real connection. Really beautiful photos.

Why should you choose
Margaret Belanger Photography for your session?

01

Obviously the number one reason is because I’m awesome (this is where I would insert a winking face emoji) But for real, I have been a professional Boston portrait photographer for over 20 years. I’m great with babies and kids and grandparents and every age in between.

02

Life is already busy enough – my goal is to make the whole process as stress-free (and as fun) as possible, without it taking up too much of your mental bandwidth!

03

You love color and smiling and hot cocoa and the ocean and sending funny memes to your friends and you love listening to your kids giggle and your partner sing in the kitchen and somehow you want all of that personality captured in a photograph. You should see yourselves in your photos and I can help make that happen.

What Our Clients Say

Margaret Belanger Photography | Homepage

“I’ve had the pleasure of working with Meg for my wedding, my daughter’s newborn photos, and several family sessions over the years. Every experience has been a true joy! Meg has an amazing ability to capture genuine moments and make everyone feel comfortable (even when dealing with cranky kids – and even crankier adults!). Her photos are always absolutely beautiful and something I truly treasure. Professional, patient beyond words, and incredibly talented – I couldn’t recommend Meg more!”

“We have used Margaret Belanger Photography to photograph our children for almost 14 years. Meg is a true professional. She is responsive, punctual, receptive to ideas/vision, and provides quick turnover of the prints. She is truly talented, not only for the way she captures the personality of her subjects, but also for the way she treats them, and makes the sessions enjoyable and fun by being equally chill and enthusiastic. She has a great eye for the right settings and backgrounds, and I am consistently blown away when she sends along her final products- even after all these years. From the photographs of my son drawing with sidewalk chalk, to my kids catching leaves falling from a tree, to most recently my son’s senior picture, I cherish these photographs with all my heart. Her prices are fair, she is willing to travel to fun places ( or just your backyard), and is an all around pleasure to work with.”

“Meg is a true professional! She elevated our law firm’s headshots. Meg took the time to understand what we were looking for and helped guide us through that process, so we were fully aligned on headshot days. She also made everyone on my team feel comfortable in front of the camera!”

“WOW! That’s the first word that comes to mind when describing the amazing service provided by Meg. While I was pregnant, I wanted to find a photographer who could capture those first precious moments with our baby at the hospital—something my mother did for us years ago, and I hoped to do, too.Meg made that dream come true! We delivered at Mount Auburn, and from the moment I reached out to her, she was incredibly responsive and accommodating. She understood exactly what I was looking for and made it happen seamlessly. The experience was truly wonderful. My husband, our family, and I are absolutely in love with the photos. We are so grateful for Meg’s talent, professionalism, and flexibility, and we would absolutely work with her again in the future if possible.

Thank you, Meg, for capturing such meaningful moments for us!”
