TwoMamas Photography

My husband decided at the last minute that he wanted to send holiday cards out this year and booked Renee and Mandy. They were great to work with, very professional and kept our doggy entertained during the photo shoot. I was expecting 2 – 3 good photos to work with out of a 30 minute session, but we had more than a dozen great shots. Plus, they were super accommodating about our tight timeline and got us our pics right on time. We highly recommend!

No brainer baby gift and support of terrific people growing a local independent Union Square, Somerville business with thought and care.

really nice folks. Were really patient with our one month old who was decidely anti-​pictures that day. Can’t wait to get my photos!

Two mamas works wonders! This is the second year that they have taken beautiful family photos for my family – I’m not photogenic and my partner and son are not patient but amazingly I like how I look in 90 percent of the photos, my son had so much fun with Renee and Mandy that he could have stayed another half hour, and we were in and out in record time!

We recently did a spring photo shoot with my 6 month old at TwoMamas and we were really impressed with the whole experience. They were great to work with and worked well with our baby who had just woken up from a nap and was groggy. It’s nice having two photographers working together because one can shoot while the other gets the baby’s attention and helps position him. We love the photos we got back from them!

We just had our three young kids (ages almost 6, 4 and 2) photographed by TwoMamas at their Union Sq. studio. I was impressed by the warmth of their simple studio space and with their great demeanor with our kids. My oldest son can be very shy but he warmed to the Mamas immediately and we got some awesome pics of him as a result. Many of the photos turned out well, despite the fact that my daughter wasn’t entirely cooperative. I found the price ($ 75 for a 20 minute shoot where we get a disc of all the shots) to be fair and am excited to have access to all of the photos. We will use TwoMamas again for family photos soon!

I would recommend Mandy and Renee at TwoMamas Photography without hesitation. I was referred to them more than a year ago through a local Moms club. Since then, we had my daughter’s first Easter photo shoot, my first Mother’s Day photo shoot in a beautiful setting chosen by them, a Christmas shoot (everyone complimented me on the photos saying that our card was a show-​stopper!) and now we are gearing up for a second bunny shoot with them. I always look forward to working with them. The shoots are relaxed and fun. They make everyone feel like supermodels ;-) They are also reasonable and provide digital photos either via email or on a CD. You won’t be disappointed.

To this day, I cherish the photos we got in Boston Common when he was 10 months. He’s 3 now!

UPDATED: We just got our prints in the mail to frame and they came out wonderful! I can’t wait to see them up on the wall.
Very easy to work with, friendly and good with young children, great prices… what more could you ask for? We had a 20 minute session done on Boston Common recently with our 3 year old and 10 month old. Needless to say, they don’t sit still long so the amount of time was just enough before they became cranky. I just received the picture DVD in the mail and it is wonderful. Will definitely go with TwoMamas again!

we participated in twomamas photo shoot last weekend at bow st. flowers. renee & mandy were friendly, personable, efficient & skilled – it was a ten minute shoot (for $ 25!) which was a great format (especially given the attention spans of both my husband & my 17 month old). the experience was very fun & amusing. within two days, i received the digital images online (so much nicer than dealing with a disk) – lots of nice photos at such a low cost. i would definitely recommend them & use them again.

I’ve meant to write a review for a while, but I’m finally getting around to it!
I hired TwoMamas to do an outdoor photo shoot with our then 8-​month old son back in September. I was so happy with the whole experience: booking was easy, even on somewhat short notice. They suggested Perry Park in Somerville, which I had never been to before, and it was a great location. The photo shoot was pretty quick, which was perfect because our 8-​month old would have gotten cranky if it had gone on for too long! I was skeptical that such a short photo shoot would yield beautiful photos of our baby… but sure enough, there were some great pictures! The two mamas really compliment each other, one will work on getting your baby’s attention while the other is shooting away– this allowed my husband and me to be in a few shots rather than having to take turns trying to get our baby to smile! What else? The turnaround was speedy, got my CD of images quickly (I think a week and a half?) and they were very reasonably priced. Start to finish, a great experience and I recommend them highly! In fact, I just suggested them to one of my friends, and they have booked a photo shoot in the coming weeks. Finally, it just makes sense to hire a great local business rather than going to one of those generic in-​store chains! Yay TwoMamas!

Fantastic! These two local moms are absolute professionals at working with families!
We took our 2 year old and 4 month old for a shoot at their new studio. Despite near-​nap meltdowns, need-​to-​nurse-​now moments, and the general chaos that marks our family these days, Renee and Mandy managed to keep at least one smiling face in front of the camera from start to finish.
They giggled, puppet showed, jingled, and joked their way through 45 minutes of fun, snapping all the way. I loved the mix of candid shots and more formal photos that they captured, and was truly impressed with the way the studio allowed them to switch quickly between backdrops, props and moods in a blink. We have literally dozens of shots that we LOVE from the session.
SUPER happy to have the full DVD of photos for printing, saving and playing with, as opposed to the pre-​scripted print packages so many other places are still using.
Look forward to using TwoMamas again!

For our baby’s first birthday, we did a photo shoot with two mamas at the Boston Public Garden. Once again, the photos were gorgeous and creative. Our DVD arrived in the same week and we love them all.

I saw TwoMamas’ photo show at Sherman Café and it was strikingly good. Often photos of children are all about the «awwww… ain’t that cute» factor. The photos in their show had that but also a lot of depth. There is one little girl wearing angel wings with this melancholy look on her face that is a real work of art.
