About
Boston Portrait Shop is a small photography venture studio founded and managed by Edward and Jia. A common passion and extensive training in photography brought this brother and sister together which culminated into an online portrait shop based in Boston and New York City.
We provide affordable portrait services specifically catered to your personal needs in both digital and medium-format film. We are extremely selective in the quality of our work and strive to deliver a professional-grade portrait service without breaking your bank.
One of main reasons we do photography is the opportunity to interact with our clients. We like to set up a meeting before the actual photoshoot to discuss about clients' preference and taste. We will brainstorm about strategies to get great images. After our initial meeting, we will visit the site of photoshoot in advance to get the creative juice flowing. During this time, we take sample pictures and send them to clients. We like to keep an active dialog with our clients until the day of shoot.
We normally aim to have our photoshoot for 1.5 to 2 hours. This is the moment when you become the main focus of our work. Our primary goal is to make you look stunning. The photoshoot session is relaxed, collaborative, and fun. Don't worry if you don't have much experience with photoshoots. We'll guide you through each step of the session!
After the photoshoot, photos are post-processed with Photoshop and other necessary softwares. Our shop is also equipped with pro quality photo-printers. We provide affordable photo printing and framing services.
Everyone sees the world through a different lens. Our utmost attraction in photography comes from the fact that a camera gives us the ability to either enhance or completely change the way people perceive. In our work, the ultimate say, of course, comes from our clients. The most exciting part of our work involves a conversation/interaction we have with our clients before and during the shoot.
Through photography, we help our clients to freeze the time, frame that notable moment, and tell that special story for generations to come. Our clients provide us with a subject, and we help to tell a story. We thoroughly enjoy the process of creating those stories and help delivering them.

Ed is awesome. We decided to have an engagement shoot on a Friday and he was ready to go on Saturday in the freezing cold. He did an unbelievable job and made us both feel really comfortable. I am going to recommend him to all my friends! Thanks, Ed! You're the best.

Edward and I worked on a surprise flash mob proposal. Edward was very helpful, and also assisted me in planning the event. He suggested locations the event could take place. On the day of the event, he captured some beautiful moments. He stayed beyond the requested time to take pictures of all our friends. In addition, he's worked with me on all my requests. And extremely affordable! I would definitely recommend Edward to my friends and family.

Edward is who I would describe as an innovative and creative photographer with lots of intuitive ideas. Having him for my projects is definitely no doubt one of the best choices thus far. He takes his time coming up with concepts and ideas, then goes around and reviews his own locations or yours, giving him the most time to act according to what's provided. He's really managed to master his equipments together with any location and any options you prefer. Whenever I had a question, there wasn't anywaiting, Edward answered you right back with more than enough explanations. His major priorities are your needs and ideas and before he left he asked if there was anything else I wanted him to photograph together with more conceptual ideas. I would use Edward again, he's Superb.

Ed is an engaging photographer and makes people feel comfortable in front of the camera. He suggested many location ideas before head. I was able to get photos in two different locations and the photos all look beautiful.

It was a great experience! Edward was polite, and nice. He was paying attention to different lights and how it displayed on my face. He picked a great location to shoot, the different background textures make my photos very interesting to look at. So I'm going to have one more photoshooting soon
