My wife and I hired Punkster for an anniversary party and we could not be happier with her quality of work, her attention to detail, and her professionalism. You can tell that Punkster really cares about what she does, and it shows in her personality and her work. She arrived to the event early, clearly communicated with us her plans for the night, and made sure every special moment was captured perfectly. If I were to do it all over again, we would definitely have her again! 10/10 would absolutely recommend! Punkster, you're the best!

About Punkster Photography LLC
BEFORE REQUESTING: ***Please review my work and submit requests ONLY with the specific intention to book with me for photography! Please note I do not provide videography services nor do I deliver RAW files because I am full service only, thank you!*** Hello, thank you for taking a moment to view my profile! It is a pleasure to unofficially meet you. A little background about me, Bethany ‘Punkster’: I started photography business in 2013 when I was just 16 years old. I went on to attend Emerson College (CO 19’), making history by becoming their first ever student to graduate with a Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) degree in Photography. Specializing in both on-location and studio sessions, I offer clients an innovative approach that balances classic portraiture with a fresh, artistic twist. My love for shooting on film, whether it be 35mm or Polaroid 600, infuses my work with timeless elegance. During my career, I have had the honor of photographing people from all walks of life. Everyone from my childhood babysitter photographed at a neighborhood park to Grammy award winning musicians during my time in the photographers pit at Boston Calling. I have had the joy of running personal exhibitions as well as having my work featured by organizations such as Zumix and Lesley College. I frequently creates artistic collaborations with other artists and find the most pleasure when set building is involved! I was given the nickname “Punky” by a teacher while in middle school. The name later evolved to “Punkster”, the name I now use heavily. I am also a huge animal lover and a proud cat mom to three. The journey of my life has been extremely fulfilling to say the least. I look forward to freezing more memories in time, and capturing the edge in every moment!

Bethany did such a great job! She was extremely receptive to helping photograph my fiancé and I’s surprise engagement. She had a clear vision and it’s very much shown in the pictures!
My whole experience working with Punkster was excellent. She quickly got a feel for what I wanted out of my session and guided me toward what turned out to be a great location and concept. She was punctual, fun, and very easy to work with, and the photos came out amazingly. I could not have asked for better! I will recommend Punkster to anyone in the area looking for photos.

Working with Bethany was an absolute joy! The photos turned out better than we could have imagined—stunning, natural, and truly capturing every moment of our engagement ceremony. We can't wait to book our next session!"
Bethany is sweet and professional! Can’t wait to get the photos from the shoot!
My wife and I had an amazing time during our pregnancy photoshoot. Highly recommend!
Bethany photographed our wedding at Cambridge City Hall in October 2025. She was a pleasure to work with, right from the first contact. My husband and I are rather shy and reluctant to pose for photographs, but Bethany provided light direction and encouragement to ensure that we got the photos we wanted from our big day. She was also great at gently directing our large family for group photos. She made wonderful use of the locations, even though it rained and was quite dark! Her candid photographs captured our dynamic beautifully. Bethany was timely with photo delivery, always responsive, and very professional. We would definitely work with Bethany again for other family occasions!
I’m a senior in high school who was in need of squeezing in my senior photos last minute. As the deadline approached, I contacted Punkster in hopes of securing an appointment promptly. She responded quickly and was able to fit me into her schedule the following day! Within approximately an hour, we finalized the date, time, and financial arrangements. On the day of the photoshoot, she was very personable, and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Her professionalism and keen eye for photography assured me that I made the right decision in hiring her as my photographer. Thank you very much, Punkster! I am looking forward to purchasing my senior yearbook.
Bethany will forever be one of my favorite photographers. She has captured such special moments for me, engagement and wedding, and I cannot thank her enough. Her work and personality go hand in hand - professional, talented, and patient. Thank you so much, Bethany! Because of you, I get to remember such important moments in my life. I WILL be seeing you again. 🥰🥰

Bethany photographed my engagement photos and did such an amazing job! The gallery turnaround time was accurate. I appreciated her creative direction while also taking into account some of the poses my fiancé and I wanted to do! We loved working with her!!
My boyfriend and I were wanting photos for our anniversary and she really brought our image to life. We happened to be traveling to Boston when it was rainy and cold, but she stuck it out with us and made it happen. She was very punctual, responsive, thoughtful and helpful. Would 10/10 recommend and would be booking with her if we’re ever back in Boston!
bethanny was easy to work with. She created a comfortable environment for our photo shoot
The experience was great! We wanted to immortalize the pregnancy for our first baby, and Bethany happily accepted the role! We had so much fun and got amazing pictures that perfectly captured the style we were looking for. We loved how efficient the session was, even while changing clothes multiple times! We're so happy we did this, and the results are priceless for us. These pictures are precious memories we will cherish forever. Thank you again for everything!
Punkster did an absolutely amazing job from start to finish. Great photos and quick turnaround!
I recently had my first-ever photo session, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I felt super awkward at first, but she was incredible at easing my nerves. With kindness, patience, and her amazing personality, she guided me through poses and helped me feel comfortable every step of the way. Her attention to detail and ability to highlight my best angles resulted in stunning photos that I’m genuinely proud of. It’s more than just pictures—it’s an investment in yourself. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a professional, enjoyable experience. Worth every penny!
