Fun with friends at the Arboretum

by caraS | Jul 23, 2018 | family, latest sessions

Last summer, I met up with this lovely family of 5 at the Arnold Arboretum in Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts for a portrait session surrounded by a gorgeous, lush backdrop.

This photo session was particularly special to me because these beautiful people are good friends of ours. Mom has always said she’s a fan of my work, so her husband surprised her with a gift certificate on her birthday for a photo session. What a great birthday present! Good job Dad! Although, it’s not really surprising he would give such a thoughtful gift. Mom & Dad are both truly caring and considerate people. They’re the kind of people you are always happy to see.

Spring in Bloom! | Arnold Arboretum Family Photo Session

by caraS | Apr 4, 2018 | children, family, latest sessions

Having lived in Roslindale, Massachusetts for almost a decade, I am very familiar with the number one outdoor destination in the area — the Arnold Arboretum. Occupying 281 acres, there is just nothing that compares to the beauty and diversity of trees, shrubs, and plants you can find here. It is a fantastic place for a walk or hike any time of year, but my very favorite time to come is in the springtime! Everywhere you turn there are flowers blooming and it seems like every week brings something new to see. I love to come with my own family for hikes, but it also happens to make a quintessential backdrop for photos. I am so excited to highlight my favorite images from this gorgeous Arnold Arboretum family photo session!

This session felt a little like I that iconic scene from

Charlotte & Jack turn ONE! | Family Photographer in Boston Massachusetts

by caraS | Jan 25, 2018 | children, family, latest sessions

I always love to see returning clients, but I was a little more excited than normal to visit Charlotte & Jack for their one year session this past December! You might remember from reading my blog last year that these very special twins were born at just 27 weeks! I met them for the first time when they had just come home after being in the hospital for several months. You’d never know they were

No-stress photo session | Family photographer Boston

by caraS | Oct 5, 2017 | children, family, latest sessions

If I had to guess one of the top reasons why people don’t have professional photos taken of their family, I would say that they think it’s too much effort — it requires too much organizing and planning and preparing. Who has time to be picking out coordinating outfits and worrying about timing and location and posing and bribing your kids to smile and all the other details when they are busy running around from work to daycare to soccer practice to the grocery store, etc!! Who needs that kind of stress in their life?

Nobody. And I’m here to tell you that it doesn’t have to be that hard.

Home is where the love is… | Family Photographer Massachusetts

by caraS | Sep 21, 2017 | children, family, latest sessions

When I receive inquiries for photo sessions, people often ask me to recommend a place to go that has a beautiful backdrop for their family pictures. And I think this request makes a lot of sense — it’s amazing to have your family’s photos taken when spring blossoms are in full bloom or fall foliage is at it’s peak. But I have to say, over the last seven years of photographing families, the sessions at home are almost always my favorites.

This family is not a new client of mine and it’s not the first time I’ve

rain, rain, you can stay | Family Photographer in Needham MA

by caraS | Jun 9, 2017 | children, family, latest sessions, Misc.

The forecast did not look good the morning of this family’s photo session, but grandma was visiting from Canada and we really wanted to include her in the photos so we did not reschedule. At the last second, I told Mom, “Worst case scenario: bring the umbrellas!” And boy, am I glad I did.

Mom and all the boys | Family Photographer Boston Massachusetts

by caraS | Jun 4, 2017 | children, family, latest sessions

It’s been a while since I’ve photographed this family… the last time, sweet little George had just been born!! Four and a half years later and look how big he’s gotten!! I met up with this fun crew at the Arnold Arboretum in JP for a late day family session. The light and weather were perfect and these boys showed no shortage of

Cousins!! | Newton Family Photographer

by caraS | Jun 3, 2017 | children, family, latest sessions

I don’t know what it’s like in your house, but when I tell my kids they are going to visit their cousins, an onslaught of squealing, shrieking and crazy bouncing off the walls immediately ensues. I suspect something similar happens for the family in the images below. These cousins were all together for Easter weekend and one of the moms invited me to

Miles is One! | Back Bay Family Photographer

by caraS | Apr 20, 2017 | children, family, latest sessions

The last time I saw this family, their baby boy was just a a week old! How fun it was to come back to this awesome Back Bay apartment again to capture some new memories a full year later. I always love to see how much babies grow over their first year, but even more, I love to see how much couples transform into seasoned parents, at ease in their roles as Mom and Dad.

Here’s a fun before and after

At home with the boys | Family Photographer Brookline MA

by caraS | Mar 27, 2017 | children, family, latest sessions

I met this Brookline family through my school portrait program a few years ago and am so happy that they have become a regular family client. They opted to have their photo session at home, which I loved because we were able to easily shift from posed photos on the front steps to candid shots on the backyard trampoline in just a matter of moments!

The vibe from these guys is just what you might expect from
