Boston Metrowest Children’s Photographer

I offer 2 session types to fit your needs – standard & digital. Standard sessions include a session fee + you order prints & products separately from your gallery of images. Digital sessions are all inclusive with a set number of digital files included in the session fee and a discount off any additional prints or products ordered.

When you look back at your photographs of your children, I want you to feel and see how they really were at that age.  Whether it’s a giggle, a goofy smile or the moment they snuck a little kiss to their little sibling. My photography approach is not just about looking at the camera and saying “cheese”…I actually hate that word. As a mom of three boys its about capturing who they really are. Capturing their unique personalities and how much they have fun together. While I will pose and direct throughout your session, it’s about those reactive moments when I child doesn’t think I’m looking or when they are “hamming it up” for the camera. My why I do this… is to offer you beautiful photographic memories, treasures that you will look back and remember for always and remember how your children truly were at that age.

I offer outdoor children photography sessions all over New England. Whether we do your session at the Wayside Inn Grist Mill in Sudbury (only 1.5 miles from my studio), have your session in Framingham at Cushing Memorial Park,  I come to your home yard, meet at the Boston Public Garden or have a session at the beach at sunset. I can customize a fun and storytelling session for you, your children and family.

I offer quite a few different session options to fit your needs, budget and what you want to have for products after your outdoor children’s photography session.

Outdoor Session Info

Pets…please include them too. We love to photograph those “animal” sisters and brothers in our children photography sessions. We can do your session at a few of my favorite outdoor locations which are pet friendly or I can come to your home yard if they are more comfortable in their own space.  Pets are so important to your family, so I love to have them be part of this special session.

To book your session date we require 50% of the session fee to be paid in advance as a retainer for your session. I take all major credits, checks and cash.  Once that is received your session date is confirmed. The remainder of the session fee is due right after your session is photographedYou see 40-50 images that have been carefully color corrected with in 2 weeks of your session date via a beautiful slideshow and online ordering gallery. You will see your images in color and in black & white.  You can also come into our studio to view your images and place your order.  However, I know your time is precious  and some of you travel from 30 plus miles away, so I offer a 2 week online ordering gallery. This is so you can take your time to choose the images and products you and your family would like to purchase to display your home or give as gifts to grandparents. This is great for grandparents and other family members to see and order from as well.

Since we respect your time, I also ask that you respect mine as well and place your order within that 2 week ordering window. Once your order is received and paid for, you can expect to receive your products anywhere from 7 days to 4 weeks depending on what you choose order. All of this info will be provided to you in your ordering system.
