Alternate Angles Photography is a boutique portrait studio a short drive from Newton, specializing innewborn, baby, maternity and family photography for Greater Boston families who want more than justpictures—they want something lasting.

Why Newton Families Trust Alternate Angles

Every family arriving at the Norwood studio—whether driving in from Newton Centre, Auburndale, Chestnut Hill or West Newton—brings a story worth telling. With 25+ years behind the camera and a background leading the Portraiture Department at the New England School of Photography, Laura Pineda has learned the best newborn images come from time and patience, never rushing. Standard sessions run four full hours in a boutique studio stocked with everything from soft neutral wraps to bold teal-and-yellow palettes. She's also a mom, so the tired eyes and worried "will baby cooperate?" questions? That part's her job.
