First Communion Portraits | Children’s Photographer MA

The weather was gorgeous on the afternoon of this beautiful 8 year old’s First Communion portrait session.  It was such a pleasure photographing her, she was just perfect and very patient during all my posing ideas.. We did some fun stuff like blowing dandelion’s and playing in the field of grass after the first communion portraits were done.  Here are some favorites…

One of the Best Family Photographers in Boston | Framingham Photographer

I was contacted by a reporter located in Ohio recently to submit some of my work to be featured in an article about the Best Family Photographers in Boston with other photographers in my area. Pretty exciting to be on the other end of a feature story. I am more accustomed to being the photographer who shoots stories like these from my newspaper days. Here is a link to the Associated Content story that went live this morning. Best Family Photographers in Boston Link

Some of my images are even featured..here are some that I submitted for the article.

Thanks for checking this article out about being one of the Best Family Photographers Boston









First Communion Portraits | Shrewsbury Photographer

What a beautiful little girl in a beautiful First Communion dress made by her grandmother. It was so nice to meet this little girl and to see her mother again…whom I grew up with. This little girl’s grandmother even made a few of my dresses when I was younger. We met at Dean Park in Shrewsbury…one of my favorite locations in the Worcester area. Here are some favorites.











First Communion Portraits MA | Northborough Photographer

These twin sisters were so much fun to photograph. They looked absolutely beautiful in their First Communion dresses and were very comfortable in from my cameras and lights. Their fun personalities shined right through. Here are some favorites…













2007 Year in Review | Paula Swift Photography

This the first time Paula Swift Photography has created a year in review slideshow. It was a time consuming task but a fun one. It was great to remember all the wonderful people I had met and photographed this past year. All the fleeting moments I was invited to capture. Those beautiful children who had no idea what they were in for when I arrived. All the fun and unexpected times that was I able to document and helped to create lasting memories was just incredible to remember.

So if you have some time…
sit back and enjoy the 2007 YEAR IN REVIEW SLIDESHOW

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
