Boston Commons for a maternity session Boston Commons Maternity session (this is sunset) 4. (I will not be photographing sunsets at the Charles in 2020)īlossom season is hard to time! If interested, reach out to me by early April. If you’re a local to Boston, you know these sunsets aren’t a regular occurrence. Charles River Esplanade Photo Session They just pop against the skyline don’t they? (sunset) The sunset that evening was surreal. (I will not longer be photographing sunset at the public gardens) 2. Boston Public Gardens Photoshoot Sunset lasted for 2 minutes so we did a sequence to make the most of it. If you are willing to consider a sunrise session, these are some visual examples of those locations: 1. True sunrise for beautiful light is when true sunrise is according to this website. Ending by 7:30am is what I consider a ‘sunrise’ session (“sunrise for safety and OK light”). If this is too early for you, please consider a location out of the city. I will no longer be photographing any locations downtown (this includes the Charles River, Boston Public Gardens, Boston Commons, Christopher Columbus Park, any South End park) unless the session ends by 8:00 am. Davis Square / Trolley Square/ Powderhouse Circle.Under each location I give more tips on parking, things to consider, etc as well as the city these spots are located in. I have been all across Boston and the greater Boston area. I provide examples for almost all of the following locations. Summary of suggested locations for photoshoots It’s a very technical decision sometimes, but I can make it work if that is the key image. I want to make you happy, but that sometimes means changing the time of the session, bringing artificial lighting, or sacrificing the posed nature of the image captured there (because children will not hold a pose for a lighting setup).
If there is a location you have to have as a backdrop, please ask me during your consultation and make that abundantly clear so I can tell you how feasible it is. It’s hard to convince someone unless they’ve had the training, but that’s why you’ve hired me – because you want me to make those choices and direct you to gorgeous backdrops. As a photographer, we see the world with light and shadow. Just because it’s there, I won’t necessarily use a bridge or gazebo unless the light is perfect.

When some landscape designers install a bridge or a gazebo, they don’t have the light in mind. Even if there wasn’t a pandemic, I follow the light and I love texture. Given the pandemic, I do not want to be lining up for a location, or having to cluster near a feature. The things I tend to steer away from include iconic locations where you HAVE to photograph in this one spot from a specific location or there’s no point for that spot. I can confidently say that 99% of my sessions do not include any of those items. I love street art, derelict buildings, muddy puddles, splashing in the lake, and hikes up mountains. I tell them that they have to make sure they love it because a location is very much a personal preference.

I had a PDF that I used to email to everyone when they asked for location suggestions. Here’s my list for locations for photoshoots. Just know you don’t have to go to the Public Gardens and that’s actually my least favourite place to photograph in the Boston area. I keep forgetting to take more behind-the-scenes images, but when I get more, I will add them to this post. If you stay until the end of the blog post I will show examples of some small parks and parking lot photo sessions. That training over the past several years has helped me hone into what’s important to include in my frame of an image and what to crop out. I photograph in people’s homes 85% of the time and I have never set foot in their homes before the session, and I always have to make it work. Here is a list of some of my favourite locations photoshoots I’ve photographed in. I guess it took a pandemic to make time for it! With people wanting to safely social distance during photoshoots, I recommend heading a bit out of the city for some reprieve from the crowds, joggers, dogs and bikers. This has been a topic I’ve meant to do a big write-up on for the longest time.
