Denise Smith

Our Studio 

At Denise Smith Photography, portrait artist Denise Smith, a Master Photographer, believes that being a personal family photographer means much more than taking pictures of a family on ‘special occasions’.  This philosophy means establishing a relationship with her clients; telling a family's story through exquisite portraiture.

The relaxing Denise Smith Photography studio in Longmeadow, MA, provides an elegant, unhurried atmosphere for consultations, portrait sessions and photo reviews.

Over the years Denise Smith has collected an assortment of elegant props, unique treasures and exquisite fabrics that are combined to design sets which delight our clients. Beautiful natural light, as well as a state-of-the-art lighting system provide families with a variety of lighting options to create a simple or sophisticated setting.

For a truly personal touch, our destination portraiture will allow you to choose that special place for your portrait session. We have accommodated our clients in a variety of personally chosen settings, including homes and vacation residences, beaches, parks, bridges and architecturally appealing buildings.

Whatever your desired setting, Denise Smith Photography can accommodate your needs, creating unique portraiture for your family.

Oh, how fast they grow in that magical first year…
Capture the very beginning of your new family from maternity to the innocence of the newborn to early childhood.

With the New Beginnings Collection (click here), your new baby will be photographed at three, six and nine months of age.  At the completion of your third session, you will receive a framed composition containing one image from each session.

New Beginnings is a wonderful first step to our Lifetime Member Album (click here).

Through the years…
The history of family is defined from one generation to the next. Our physical appearance, our traditions, our memories of time shared, all arise from the bonds we have as grandparents and parents. Capturing these treasured relationships in portraiture gives us a gift which preserves our present for future generations.

Each one is unique…
The connection between husband and wife, mothers and daughters and sons and fathers, siblings and grandparents…newlyweds
…all have a need to be captured in time.
