6 Photos Every Boston Family Can Expect in A Photography Gallery
Booking family photography in Boston can be complicated, here’s a glimpse of what you get when you book with me!
Finding the right photographer for your family may not be as easy as you think, but knowing what the photographer promises to deliver in their gallery helps narrow down your search. Many of us have our own style, how we run a session & the client we cater to, and our own editing style. But, what I find most important is the type of images we deliver. My child-led, lifestyle family photography in Boston does not focus on perfectly posed images where everyone is smiling at the camera.
If your main goal is to have smiling, perfectly posed images, keep searching. I am not your girl!
So here’s why…
My goal for every session is to capture your family as you truly are. No fake smiles. No unhappy children. Just tons of joy! The memory you create this day is just as important as the final photos 🥰
So here is what you can expect from a family photography session with me if you live in the Boston area…
Candid, Active Family Shots
Fun & Joy are two things that I like to deliver in every single session. Most families bring that to every session. If you read my pre-session information, you know I like to tell you that parenting your kids can be put on hold for the fun of the session! Trust me, don’t stress out if things seem to be a little chaotic the day of your session. I much prefer the chaos to the tears. The proof is here in the pudding!
Cuddled Up Families
Connection focused images are my absolute favorite. If you are client of mine, you know I start my sessions by telling families I have two rules: to have fun, and to “always be touching!” ABT is saying & my clients know what that means. I may prompt you to connect but you take it from there. It doesn’t mean you have to be seated, just connected. A group hug, a kid sandwich, a kiss attack — as long as you are ABT (and not looking at me), its alright by me!!
Siblings being Siblings
I can say it until I am blue in the face, but during our session, let the kids be kids. Having them interact as siblings will create the moments you will remember. The moments that show their true personalities and not just show their forced smiles.
Natural Portraits of the kiddos
When I photograph the littles, I want to get them as their authentic selves. I spent time chatting directly with them, all while snapping away. There is no greater compliment I get from a parent than when someone says “you captured (son/daughter) personality so perfectly!” Maybe it’s them laughing hysterically at my fart jokes, or staring at me like I have 6 heads. Maybe they need no prompting at all and I just place them in the perfect pocket of light and they come to life!
All I know is that these portraits should be the complete opposite of the boring, posed school portraits…
Individual parents with the kids
My hope during most sessions is to spend time with each parent and their kiddos. Especially for the mamas, who we all know are often the ones behind the camera, the ones who spent hours prepping everyone for the family photography session in Boston. Each relationship is different and I love being able to capture those special moments between each parent-child.
A bonus!
During some sessions I will try to get some bonus shots that I can incorporate. Those can be a variety of things from silhouette shots (location dependent), partner shots, location shots, reflections, GIF creation shots, etc. Not every session can we do something different but if you have something special in mind, don’t hesitate to ask!
Are you feeling like a lifestyle family session is just what you’ve been looking for?
If you’re ready to have fun, create lasting memories, and maybe get a little dizzy while capturing memories you’ll treasure, let’s talk.
