Come as you are.
I'll take care of the rest.
I love taking pictures of people in all stages of life. Weddings, engagements, portraits, just for fun - I'd love to help you feel like you're in a movie.
Hi, I'm Claire!
Welcome!!
I'm Claire Chiarelli, a couples & portrait photographer based in Somerville, MA.
There are really only 3 things you need to know about me:
- I am a New York native (and a Yankees fan, sorry)
- I come from a graphic design background and obsess over composition, color, lighting, etc. - both at my day job and in my photography
- I am truly happiest with a camera in my hand
- (Okay, one more) If you wanted to put an espresso martini in my other hand, I wouldn't complain

"I'm literally obsessed with our pics...Claire was so generous with her time, and helpful in planning to make the day so special! She gave us the space to be present with each other, guided us to good spots and poses, and didn't make us feel rushed at any point, including getting some shots with our family. We are so so so appreciative!"

Claire was incredibly friendly, patient, and made our kids feel completely comfortable and relaxed throughout the session. She made the whole experience fun and easy, and it truly shows in the photos. We’ll treasure these pictures for years to come!"

"Claire took housewarming photos for us and did an absolutely fantastic job! She was patient, easy to work with, and managed to capture some wonderful moments with our dog who isn't always easy to photograph. I would absolutely recommend Claire for your next major event or photoshoot."
