Adjacent to the dedicated parking lot, there is an open field where we shoot most of our family, maternity, engagement sessions. It’s a short walk from my clients vehicles, easy for children in tow and offers a beautiful picturesque background. This field comes with a fun hill for children to run up and down—all the while, capturing their genuine emotions. Parents are able to keep close tabs on their families through the tall grass. We pose couples against the vast perimeter of trees. It makes for a stunning portrait! 

In the heat of Boston’s Summer, this Charles River State Reservation’s field is outfitted with pure white blooms, Queen Anne’s Lace. These natural blooms, which are also considered weeds, add the perfect tone and texture to your family’s portraits. After all, they are named after “ lace” since the blooms have a similar textural nature to them. They tend to be in bloom from mid-summer and can last until early fall.
