Bring to Light Photography Blog bio picture
  • Well Hello There!

    Welcome to the Bring to Light Photography blog. I'm Taslim, a Boston-based photographer creating portraits of newborn babies, children and families throughout New England. My hope is that clients, photographers, friends and family can drop by and see a little of what I've been up to. This blog will follow my personal and professional life featuring images from sessions and events that I shoot, places that I visit, and the things I see and experience living in the city.

    I encourage you to visit my website or to email me for more info using the contact form above. My style is fresh & simple, and I'd love to work personally with your family to capture portraits that are fresh, real and most importantly you.

Boston Maternity Portrait Photographer | Sara

I am so behind on my blogging! I’ve been post procrastinating because my comments section wasn’t working properly, and I wanted to work that out because I *love* getting blog comments. But now its fixed! So do say hello, don’t be shy :)

On to the goods. Sharing another beautiful mommy-to-be! I did Sara’s session a little earlier than I typically do maternity sessions, but since she was such a skinny little thing she was showing quite nicely. Its amazing that each woman carries her baby differently, so even if its just a belly shot, like this one, you can still see how your pregnant form is unique. Plus it never hurts to have some bling and animal prints in there ;)

And you can see from the rest of these images that Sara is stunning and we had a wonderful pregnancy portrait session.

We incorporated her tattoo ‘a ma vie de coer entier’ which is French for ‘you have my whole heart for my whole life’ and is engraved on a locket that her husband gave her for their wedding.


And this shot is my very favorite from the session:

Thanks Sara for a fantastic session and I hope to meet your baby girl soon :)

Sweet Little Baby | Boston Newborn Photographer

Remember Denise’s maternity portraits? I’m so excited to share images of her new son, Kai, isn’t he adorable? I got so excited when I met him and discovered he had all that beautiful hair!

I love capturing newborn babies in their home, so mom and dad can relax a bit and not worry about leaving the house so soon. Some of my favorites from our newborn session:

Snuggling with Mama

Cozy and content

Love those bitty baby yawns!


Fast sleep on Daddy’s chest

10 perfect piggies!

Thank you Denise and David for sharing your beautiful new baby boy with me!

Print Competition Results | Award Winning MA Photographer

Its been a couple weeks since returning from the annual Professional Photographers Association of Massachusetts convention, and I’m just now processing everything I learned there. It was great to meet up and talk shop with fellow MA photographers and friends. Besides the inspiring speakers, the highlight of the convention was sitting and listening to the print competition, where a panel of judges critique and score hundreds of prints from local talent. It was my first time entering the competition and I’m thrilled to share I received 5 red ribbons! Now I have a hunger for competition, and I can’t wait to see what images of my beautiful clients I’ll be able to enter next year!

Anticipation | Boston Maternity Portraits

Meet another glowing mommy (and fellow photographer) Kysa. Of course, now that I am getting ready to share these images she already is enjoying little Max at home! It was Kysa’s idea to use the blocks to spell out Max, (thanks big sister Reagan for sharing with us!) – I love incorporating objects like this into the session to make your pregnancy portraits all the more personal. On to the goods!

Expecting | Boston Pregnancy Portraits

Its about time I shared Denise’s maternity session since I just photographed her newborn son yesterday! Wasn’t she just beautiful pregnant? I am slightly obsessed with animal prints and I love that we were able to subtly incorporate them into the at home session. Her 3 year old son Cayden joined in at the end for some impromptu shots. I asked him to listen to his mom’s belly and find out if his baby brother was making monkey noises in there – that got a few giggles! Thank you Denise, can’t wait to show you the newborn images next week :)
