Editorial & Fine Art Studio Portrait Sessions
Portrait Experiences Designed to Celebrate This Season of Life
Chelsea Hickey Photography offers beautiful portraits without the pressure of knowing how to pose, what to wear, or how to get your kids to cooperate.
Serving Boston and the surrounding areas, we specialize in editorial, fine art, and thoughtfully guided portrait photography for women, children, and families.
The Experience
Most people walk into a portrait session saying some version of:
“We’re awkward in photos.”
That’s normal.
My job isn’t just to take beautiful portraits. It’s to help everyone relax enough for genuine moments and personality to come through naturally.
Sessions are intentionally unhurried, giving kids time to warm up, parents space to breathe, and adults a chance to settle into the experience without feeling rushed or overly posed.
From wardrobe to styling to the overall vision, we’ll plan your session together ahead of time so you can walk in feeling relaxed and prepared.
Most people aren’t instantly comfortable in front of a camera, and that’s completely normal. The best portraits usually happen once everyone stops worrying about being perfect and simply settles into the experience, and we make time for that process.

Fine Art Portraiture
For clients looking for something even more elevated, select sessions can be styled in a Fine Art approach — with dramatic lighting, thoughtful posing, and painterly finishes. These timeless portraits are designed to feel like artwork worthy of your walls and are often transformed into statement wall art, creating striking pieces that elevate your home as much as they preserve your story.

Every detail is thoughtfully designed to make your portrait experience feel relaxed, seamless, and fully taken care of.
