BIO / NAOMI WHITESTONE BATCHELOR

Naomi Whitestone is an
East Coast-based photographer specializing in intimate, artful family, maternity, and newborn portraits.

Hi, I’m Naomi Whitestone — photographer, artist, birth doula, and mama based in Philadelphia, PA.

I believe every season of your family deserves to be celebrated and remembered. My photography is rooted in connection and artistry, blending fine art composition with honest, everyday moments.

I specialize in family, maternity, and newborn photography throughout the East Coast — serving New York City, Philadelphia, and Washington D.C. Whether I’m capturing the tenderness of new parents, the anticipation of pregnancy, or the joyful chaos of family life, my goal is always the same: to create images that feel like you and stand the test of time.

My background as a birth doula and Certified Lactation Counselor (through Nourished & Nurtured Birth) gives me a deep respect for the beauty, vulnerability, and power of parenthood. This perspective shapes how I approach each session — with patience, warmth, and an understanding of how to make my clients feel comfortable in front of the camera.

Beyond photography, I am also a painter in the fine art world. You can explore my artwork at naomiwhitestone.com, where I share abstract paintings inspired by nature, motherhood, and faith.

When I’m not behind my camera or in the studio, I’m likely with my husband and our son — exploring our city, hosting friends, or traveling.

If you’re looking for photographs that are equal parts timeless and heartfelt, I’d love to connect! Fill out the contact form HERE to get in touch.
