Caryn Scanlan Cape Cod Family Photographer

I’m Caryn,

a photographer and filmmaker specializing in maternity, newborn, and family photography across Cape Cod, Boston, and the South Shore.

Life moves fast—especially with little ones!

Since 2009, I’ve helped busy, thoughtful families like yours capture the story of becoming and being parents—from the quiet anticipation of pregnancy to the joy and chaos of life with littles.

When I had my first baby (2001!), my family was across the world, and photos became the bridge between us. They captured not just what I saw, but what I felt—the love, the chaos, and the magic of running on two hours of sleep. It sparked my passion for becoming a family photographer on Cape Cod.

Family is real, messy, and worth celebrating. Let’s turn these fleeting moments into a legacy you’ll never forget.

Family Sessions

Your family’s story is worth more than a quick snapshot.

That’s why I make family sessions easy and stress-free, so you can focus on the laughter, love, and little moments that matter. From choosing outfits to the perfect location, I’ll guide you every step of the way—so in the end, you have more than just photos. You’ll have a true reflection of your family’s joy, connection, and story.

Maternity Sessions

Celebrate this season with a maternity session as beautiful as the journey itself.

Between 26-34 weeks, when you’re feeling great and your bump is showing just right, we’ll capture this season before it slips away. With a full-service approach, I’ll handle every detail—from location to wardrobe—so you can relax and enjoy the experience. In the end, you’ll have heirloom-quality images to celebrate this moment for a lifetime.

Studio Newborn Sessions

This is your most precious little human.

As a safety-trained newborn photographer with more than 15 years of experience, you can come and relax and watch the sweetness unfold as you enjoy a session tailor-made to your themes, preferred colors etc. My focus on neutrals and natural photography means timeless classics, with a tasteful touch of “you” to enjoy forever! Session takes place in my Specialized Newborn Session on the South Shore (3 min from Rt-24 exit 24 and Rt-495).

Newborn Sessions

The newborn days are a blur—but you’ll want to remember every detail.

In-home newborn sessions let you soak in these first moments while I handle everything with care. With 15+ years of experience and safety training, I create a calm, natural experience so you can relax and simply enjoy your baby. The result? Timeless, heartfelt images that will always take you back.

Baby’s First Year Package

So much changes in a year—imagine having a story to look back on.

From first smiles to first steps, your baby is changing every day. With milestone sessions at 3, 6, and 12 months, you’ll have a beautiful way to pause, celebrate, and watch their story unfold. And at the end of the year? A stunning album or gallery wall that brings it all together

Curious about video?

There’s nothing that quite captures a moment – a giggle, first steps, a stolen glance – like video. It adds a whole ‘nother dimension to your memories, but doesn’t add minute of time or an ounce of effort to your session! These are not just photo slideshows, but actual video clips recorded in between your still photo moments.
