Obviously, living in Boston, the weather is a major factor for choosing a location for your photos during the winter.

I know I am horrible about posting, but Fall is getting booked QUICK. I can only take so many sessions each month, so if you’re hoping to get on my calendar this year (including newborns and maternity) please let me know ASAP!
So many sessions I haven’t shared yet! This one was a stunner 😍😍

Kindest words from this client— “These are AMAZING! I have had multiple people tell me these are the best family photos I’ve ever had, and some of the most beautiful photography they have ever seen. I was a little nervous with Rigby being so active, and us being sweaty hot messes but these are beyond beautiful. Thank you so much!“
