Boston Newborn and Children's Photographer – Paula Swift Photography, Inc. Photographer Blog

It was wonderful fall evening on the beach in Swampscott for this family. It was a fun and loving session…my favorite kind where the family acts natural in front of my cameras and I just document the love they share for one another. Dad brought one of his guitars down to the beach with him and added a great personal touch to their session. Their session started just a few hours before sunset so I could take advantage of the beautiful evening light and create one of my favorite silhouettes of their family. Here are favorites from their Swampscott Beach Session from last September.

Happy New Year…its hard to believe 2012 is already here! 2011 was one of our busiest years yet and to showcase favorites from each session we decided to make best of photography collages. I had so much fun going through each session and picking out images, so many fun and exciting memories came flooding back. From expectant parents excited to meet their new baby(s), to watching all those new babies yawn and sleep during their sessions, sharing laughs and giggles with kids on the go, with a few bribes here and there to get them to cooperate, to enjoying warm sandy nights on the beach, playing in the leaves with families and capturing high school seniors in the beautiful light in the fall. Thank you everyone who I met and photographed in 2011 and I look forward to seeing you in 2012.

This special rate only applies to Maine Beach sessions on dates provided. No travel fee or weekend rate fee will apply since I will be up there for sessions already. There is minimum order of $350. This means there is a $350 portrait order minimum for this session not including the session fee.

A few things to think about when planning your session.

Please do not select the last day you will be up in Maine as your session date. If it rains we need a back-up date.

Your session will take place with in 1.5-2 hours before sunset. Even if you have young children this time can be okay because they are back on the beach and ready to have fun.

Please do not plan your session date on a day when you may be traveling up to Maine, especially when you have young children. You want everyone to be well rested before their session.

If it rains on both days of your session dates and there are no other dates open; we can try to plan another time or your session fee will be refunded.

I will cross off dates on here as they are booked, so plan ahead. Email me at paula@paulaswift.com or call 508-405-1816 if you are ready to book your summer family and children’s beach photography session.

What a gorgeous night it was on the Cape for this family. We met the Bars Inn in Chatham for their session. It was such a fun session and great to see how much their children had grown since their last session earlier this spring. Their daughter had turn one just a few weeks earlier and their son 3 in April ( on my birthday ). I loved when I arrived and he had his dad’s camera ready to go and said ” watch this Paula Swift” and snapped my photo. Ummmm and this 3 yr old has a pretty good eye too. Might have to have him as an assistant when he is a few years older. Always an amazing session with this family. I am sure you will recognize them throughout my website and blog. Here are some favorites from their family and children’s beach session on Cape Cod…

I have been photographing these 3.5 year old twins and their family every year since they were 6 months old! You can view that session HERE I have just loved seeing them and how much they have grown into their little selves. Mom even had the same blanket I photographed them on when they were 6 months old to use for this session. We met this year at a north shore beach for their family’s photography session. The sun played some games with us but the session still went beautifully and I just love all the fun images I captured of their family. Here are some favorites from their family and children beach photography session …
