• Spring 2026 •
Spring in Boston is one of my favorite times of the year to photograph families. After the long winter months, the city slowly comes back to life—trees begin to bloom, gardens fill with color, and the soft evening light creates the most beautiful backdrop for family portraits.
If you’ve been thinking about updating your family photos, spring is the perfect time to do it. The season is short, and dates tend to fill quickly, so I encourage you to reserve your session early.
