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

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.

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.
