FAMILIES

Boston MetroWest Family Photographer

At Paula Swift Photography, I offer relaxed, storytelling family photography sessions for families throughout Boston MetroWest and surrounding communities.
Each session is designed to capture genuine connection, natural emotion, and the unique personality of your family.

I offer two session types to fit your needs:

Standard Sessions include a session fee, with prints and products selected separately from your online proofing gallery.
Digital Sessions are all-inclusive and include a set number of high-resolution digital images in the session fee, along with a discount on any additional prints or products you choose to order.

When booking, you’ll first decide whether a 30-minute studio session or a full-hour session in studio or outdoors best fits your family. From there, you can choose whether you’d like digital images, printed artwork, or a combination of both.

With over 30 years of professional photography experience and a background as a photojournalist, I bring a natural, storytelling approach to every family session. My goal is to create portraits that feel relaxed and authentic—images that reflect your family’s love, connection, and who you truly are in this season of life.

Every family session is customized. Some children are energetic and playful, while others are quieter and more reserved. I work with each child’s personality and energy, allowing moments to unfold naturally. As long as your children are having fun, I’ll continue capturing meaningful, heartfelt portraits you’ll treasure.

Many families are surprised by how easy and enjoyable the experience feels. Once you book, I’ll guide you through every detail—including session timing, wardrobe suggestions, and how to make the most of your photography session—so you can arrive relaxed and ready to enjoy the moment.

Family sessions typically book four weeks in advance, and up to six weeks ahead during the busy fall season.

I invite you to explore my rates and browse the gallery below to see if I’m the right Boston MetroWest family photographer for your family.
