Did you know that 95% of the outdoor photos you see on my website and social media were taken in the Arnold Arboretum? Aside from the fact that its a 5-10 minute drive from my house, there are so many reasons that I think the Arnold Arboretum is the best family photos location in Boston (and outdoor maternity photo sessions.) Here are somethings I look for in outdoor shooting locations and why I prefer the Arnold Arboretum for outdoor photos in Boston again and again.
One of the best things about being a photographer with a commercial studio, is I have an awesome alternative location for family photos–my studio! Don’t want to worry about the weather? Looking to take family photos in the Winter? Not sure if your toddler will cooperate during a evening photoshoot? All of these are great reasons to do your family photos in my Boston studio, located conveniently in Dedham, MA. Its true that my studio is designed for newborn photo sessions, but its also a perfect location for family photos!
Here are all the reasons that this Boston family photographer loves doing family photos in my studio rather than outdoors.
You might be thinking, Boston Lifestyle Family Photographer, what? Yes, 95% of my sessions are done in my studio or at the Arboretum. But, I occasionally shoot family sessions in my clients homes. I know this isn’t always ideal for all of my clients (cleaning your house, not enough light indoors, etc.) But if it’s the right fit for you, I’m here for it!
When I’m not photographing little babies in my studio, I am outside making Boston family photos with my clients, year after year! This, by the way, is my favorite part of being a Boston family photographer, I get to see these families grow over the years–many of whom I started working with before their babies were even born, or just weeks after. What could be more special than photographing these families year after year?
The absolute best part about Spring Family Photos in Boston is all of the gorgeous flowering trees. My favorite location for shooting family photos is the Arboretum, and there are a wide range of flowering trees that start in early May and go all the way through June. Because I’ve photographed there almost exclusively for years, I really know the best spots.

Ever thought about opening up your own photography studio? I started as a Boston newborn photographer with a pop up set up in my living room, moved to a (tiny) dedicated home studio in a guest room, and finally moved to my dream studio location 3.5 years ago. Learn from my experience with these tips on how to do it yourself! (Link in stories and bio)
When I hopped on the phone with this gorgeous mom newborn photo session, she told me something that I have heard over and over. She wasn’t planning on hiring a professional photographer, but now her baby was 7 weeks old and she realized she only had (not so great) iPhone photos of her! Not only that, but SHE wasn’t in most of them! She really wanted to document this time while her baby is tiny, and ALSO be in the pictures!

I can totally relate to this, even as a professional photographer. I took endless (iPhone and big camera) photos of my little ones, but the only photos I had with them was of me in sweats and dirty hair, and mostly horrible selfies. I actually did TWO newborn photo sessions (hiring other professionals, of course) with each of my kiddos, and they were worth every penny. There’s nothing worse than looking back at photos from these days and 1. hate every photo that you’re in, or 2. not be in any of them!
