Moran Family | Somerville Family Photography

October 7, 2013

I met up with the Moran family on probably the most perfect fall day we’ve had yet this year. Their choice of location for their family session? The President’s Lawn at Tufts University. It’s practically their own backyard and the kiddos know it well. Big sis Claire was full of ideas and wanted to show me all her favorite spots and little Ry was very happy whenever a dog walked by!

The family brought their own blanket (which I recommend doing, because it adds a personal touch). We quickly found out the blanket’s plastic carrying case was far more interesting than the blanket itself. You can’t tell, but in this picture these two are actually sitting in it, pretending it’s a boat. 🙂 Hey, whatever makes them smile!

Wicked sweet tree! It was Claire’s idea for them to sit up there.

Little Ry loved the leaves! I agree, they are lovely.

Her blue eyes! First thing I noticed about her when we met. They are stunningly gorgeous!

Claire art-directed this next one. “Daddy, lay down next to me!” And one snap of the camera made a rest-of-her-life treasure. Good job, C!

And we’ll finish up with a pig pile on Dad. Those are the best!

Moran Fam, thanks for showing me around Tufts and for being easy to photograph! 🙂

[…] of my best, most favorite photos from Fall 2013 were from the sweet Moran family’s Tufts session! They recently moved to the ‘burbs, and invited me over to capture some real life, […]

That last one is totally my favorite. I’ve only done a few family shoots.. but I’ve found the kids get SO excited when we use their ideas of where to take pictures. I had one family sit in different spots on a tree.. they loved it. 🙂

Kids are definitely happy when you let them call the shots! Makes them feel special 🙂
