CHILDREN (OUTDOORS)




Boston MetroWest Children’s Photographer
I am a Boston MetroWest children’s photographer offering fun, relaxed, and stress-free outdoor photography sessions for children and families throughout MetroWest Boston and New England.
I offer two session types to fit your needs:
Standard Sessions include a session fee, with prints and products ordered 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, plus a discount on additional prints and products.
My goal is to create authentic children’s portraits that reflect who your children truly are at this stage of life — the giggles, the playful expressions, and the sweet connections between siblings.
These are the moments that turn photographs into meaningful memories.
As a mom of three boys, my photography style goes beyond simply looking at the camera and smiling.
While I guide and pose during each session, I focus on capturing natural, unscripted moments — when children relax, forget the camera is there, and let their personalities shine.
I specialize in outdoor children’s photography sessions at beautiful locations across MetroWest, including the Wayside Inn Grist Mill in Sudbury and Cushing Memorial Park in Framingham.
I also photograph families in their own backyard, at the Boston Public Garden, or during sunset beach sessions. Additional locations are available and can be customized when you book your session.
I offer a variety of children’s photography session options to fit your needs, budget, and the artwork you’d like to enjoy in your home.
If you’re looking for a MetroWest Boston children’s photographer who creates timeless, storytelling portraits, I’d love to work with your family.
