Natick Senior Photographer | Boston Photographer

What a wonderful opportunity I had to photograph this beautiful and talented young woman for her high school senior portraits.

Hopkinton Senior Photographer | Boston Photographer

Love revisiting sessions from last fall, especially when its a dreary February day like today. Here is a beautiful high school senior from last September. It was a beautiful warm late summer evening where the lighting is just perfect for outdoor sessions. We started at a park and then headed over to my studio building to add a little urban feel to her sessions.  She was a natural and very easy to photograph. Here are some favorites from her outdoor high school senior portrait session.

Best Photography of 2011 | Boston Photographer MA

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.

Enjoy!

Boston Senior Photographer | Outdoor Senior Portraits Massachusetts

I  just loved photographing this Boston area high school senior this past fall. She was so relaxed during her session and the clothing she wore was perfect for the field we photographed her session in. I swear she could be the sister of Taylor Swift she reminded me so much of her.  Here are some favorites from her outdoor senior session in Framingham.

Hopkinton Senior Photographer MA | Musician Portraits Boston

A gorgeous day, beautiful senior, warm afternoon lighting and a musical instrument was a perfect combination for this outdoor high school senior photography session. She was great to work with and her mom was great help with my lighting. So many favorites from this session, I think I overwhelmed them with images to choose from, but I guess having too many is much better than not enough images. :) She plays the french horn and wants to major in music in college. I love when seniors bring something special to their sessions that shows who they are. Here is a taste of favorites from her senior photography session here in Metrowest Boston …

High School Senior Portraits MA | Framingham Senior Photographer | Metrowest Boston Photographer

What a gorgeous night it was for this beautiful senior! It was great to start my senior portrait season after a busy summer of babies. She was so great to work with and relaxed. She is entering her senior year at local Metrowest high school after a trip to Germany. She spent most of her August in Germany ( lucky girl). Here are some favorites from her outdoor senior portrait session…

Plan ahead now if you would like to have a sunset beach session of your children and family.

In previous years these sessions were booked by the middle to end of June, so don’t wait until July. :)
