Family Portraits at the Old Manse in the Fall

This fall, one of the locations that I offered for my fall family portraits was the Old Manse in Concord MA. It’s honestly one of my favorite spots for family photos. It’s historic, charming, has beautiful tall grass, a dock, and really gives those New England vibes that we all love. That’s why I was so pleased to see so many families choose this location for their fall photos, including this sweet family! It was lovely to see them again after our Santa portraits together. We lucked out with a beautiful day for their family portraits at the Old Manse and I’m thrilled to share them with you today!

Family Portraits at the Old Manse

I always love meeting up with this family because they used to live in Spain! It’s always fun to hear about their adventures abroad. Now, she teaches English and Spanish – so they definitely stay busy and get to connect back to their old home. They are the sweetest and cutest family! The kids are adorable and so outgoing. Everyone laughs so much together, and they made my job so easy! This family had the best outfits, the best weather and a gorgeous location – we couldn’t ask for a better day!

I want to say a quick thank you to every single one of my clients. Because of you, I am able to make this my job. I feel so honored to be the one who documents your precious memories every year and I will never take for granted how truly special it is to be a part of your lives. Thank you for such a beautiful year and I am so looking forward to the next one!
