Greater Boston is where I officially launched my photo business over ten years ago, and I’ve come to love a few places for taking family photos. I always suggest that my clients pick a location special to their family, but if they don’t have a place like that (or maybe they want to explore somewhere new) these places are great options!
The kids might be tired after our super fun family session, but chances are they have a ton more energy! That’s where these locations come in! They all double as a places we can do your family session, AND as places to have fun with your family after your session is over! So without further ado, my four favorite places to take family photo:
FARM POND PARK, FRAMINGHAM
Reasons I love it: It has a forest, an open field, and water views! Any type of nature you want for your photos.
Fun things to do: After your session, head over to the playground or the skate park!
BANCROFT CASTLE, GROTON
Reasons I love it: If you’re looking for unique, this is it. After a short uphill walk, stunning stone castle ruins come into view. We will explore every inch and make truly historic photos!
COLD SPRING PARK, NEWTON
Reasons I love it: At first glance, Cold Spring Park looks just like any other town park, but this one has a couple surprises: a hidden bridge, a woodsy path, AND dog park, so bring your pup!
Fun things to do: Well, I already mentioned to dog park 🙂 But there is also a basketball court and a half-mile loop in the woods to walk and explore.
ARNOLD ARBORETUM, BROOKLINE
Reasons I love it: The Arboretum has so many lovely places to take photos, including a small pond, and trees that flower throughout the year. There are no bad views in the stunning park!
So there are all my secrets of my favorite places! The BEST part (and you’re welcome) is that you don’t have to schedule a session with me to visit all these places this summer! But if you DO want to have updated family photos taken this spring or summer, you can email me at stephanieritaphoto@gmail.com!
