I can't express how thrilled we are with the photos taken by Iris. Iris has an incredible talent for capturing genuine moments of connection and happiness. Our pictures are not just photographs; they're beautiful memories frozen in time. The colors, composition, and lighting are all impeccable. We now have a collection of pictures that we'll cherish forever. Iris can turn moments into art.

We worked with Iris twice already. I think we are going to come back to her for all our future family moments. Iris is really good with small kids and she has the magic to capture the sweetest moment. She always comes with a plan so the photoshoot is always very smooth. This is especially important because little kids have a short attention span. We see Iris' photo as a family investment because it's the only and best way to preserve those precious moments.
- Jie
We really enjoy our photo session. We had our maternity photoshoot and also brought our 3 year old daughter with us. Usually our daughter is pretty shy but she loves Iris right away and gives big smiles and Iris was able to catch all her cute moments. The entire session is so natural and just feel like we hang out with a friend and Iris just takes the pics during our conversation. And most importantly, the photos are just stunning which we will treasure forever!!!
- Ashley
Best kind of experience with Iris. Smooth and high quality service from end to end. What sets them apart from other photographers is that Iris is so sincere with her lenses. She perceives the understanding, compassion and love toward the family that she is shooting with. If you want to capture the legacy moment of your life and family, I would highly recommend Mountainleaf and Iris to all.
- Qing
Iris brought a unique and artistic perspective to our photoshoot. Each image was beautifully edited, showcasing the perfect balance of vibrant colors and soft tones. She truly captured the essence of our baby's innocence and our family's love, making every photograph a work of art. Highly recommended!
- Ying
We had the most wonderful experience working with Iris, and our photos are just stunning. She was very creative throughout the session, provided helpful feedback, and took shots we adore that I would've never considered. She's very skilled and has a style that feels natural and real - just what we were looking for. We couldn't be happier and would love to work with her again!

If you have a preferred location that's special to your family, don't hesitate to let us know! Or we can suggest some locations we love! We travel within 30 mins drive from Boston with no additional charge. If it's further than 30mins drive from Boston, additional travel cost may apply.
We offer family lifestyle, documentary, maternity, elopement and portrait photo sessions. We can also do customized photo-shoot based on your needs. Just fill out the contact sheet to get in touch. Check out our portfolio here.
Late afternoons or early morning is usually a good time to take advantage of the best natural light for outdoor photo shoots. For indoor photo shoots, anytime really, best when the room gets ample lights. Of course, pick a time when your children are at their best - well rested and eaten beforehand makes babies/kids especially agreeable during photo sessions.
Absolutely! Get your children's nap in and have them eat before the photo session, so they are in a good mood for the photo session. Bring some snacks and drinks for them.While we provide all the props for the photo session, you are welcome to bring your child's favorite toy, stuffed animal friend or anything that make your child giggle!
Comfortable and coordinated clothing (if taking family shots) are always the best in photos. Solid colors and small patterns are great. Layering works really well for creating different looks. Try to avoid bold prints and patterns, which can distract the eye when viewing photography.For more tips and dressing inspirations, read our blog post HERE.
We deliver your photos in a digital online gallery so you can easily share your images with friends and family no matter where they are! You will also have the option to order prints, wall art, calendar, cards and more right in your gallery. Print products will be shipped directly to you, easy and time-saving!
