STEPHANIE & CRAIG | FAMILY SESSION | ARNOLD ARBORETUM BOSTON, MA
For anyone who knows me, they know that I love fall and I love nature, especially for photo sessions. Don’t get me wrong, I do love the occasional urban session in the city, or a beach session in the summer, however, my heart lies in the woods. There is something about the trees and leaves that just speak to me. Even for personal days, I prefer going for a walk in the woods over anything else. It’s where I feel the most at peace and the most myself. The smells, the sounds - I love it all. Fall is my favorite because I obviously love all of the colors, but I love the crispness in the air, and the activity of the animals preparing for winter. It’s a favorite time for me, and one I try and savor each year it comes around.
I’ve fallen in love with the Arnold Arboretum Boston, MA for photo sessions. In the past, I’ve always seemed to visit this place - for personal and for photo sessions - in the Spring and Summer. I’ve driven by a few times in the fall, but I never made it inside. It’s literally been a dream of mine to both photograph at Arnold Arboretum Boston, MA and visit this beautiful place in autumn. I finally had that opportunity come around come this October, and let me tell you, it didn’t disappoint.
I had a couple who have two dogs who wanted family photos of the four them, and requested Arnold Arboretum Boston, MA for October and I was stoked! I arrived to the park about an hour early so I could walk around and find some good spots. I’m so glad I did! And if you follow me on Instagram you know that I video taped me geeking out over the colors. It was PEEK foliage time so the colors were a dream. I thought I was walking through some dream of mine it was so perfect. I’m so glad I got there early and geeked out before the couple arrived, because I was way too excited you guys!!
WAIT until you see these photos and the amazing foliage. It was so much better in person, but i feel I captured the family and the colors so well. And, I mean they brought their beautiful dogs on top of it so this session is hands-down one of my favorites to date. Enjoy these photos!
