Vacation Family Portrait Session / Manchester-by-the-Sea

It’s no surprise that coastal Massachusetts is a summer vacation destination for many families- hundreds of miles of gorgeous beaches, small towns with nautical charm, incredible dining, and history around every corner you turn.

Each summer, my calendar fills with families who are visiting from out of state who want me to help capture their vacation memories. I love being able to show visitors exactly why Cape Ann is so special, choosing the perfect location for their family portrait session.

Scroll through to see some of my favorite images from a family portrait session at Singing Beach in Manchester by the Sea, MA, and let me know your favorite vacation spot in the comments!

Planning for Spring / Coolidge Reservation Manchester-by-the-Sea Family Photo Session

The days are getting longer, Daylight Savings is right around the corner, and the extra sunlight has been giving me life! Despite the lame winter we’ve had, I’m ready for the warmer weather to arrive.

I get THE MOST excited to photograph in the Spring. Maybe because after a long winter of staying inside, I’m ready to begin exploring nature again. Or because I’m eager to pick up my camera after a restful off-season. But REALLY I think it’s about the flowers. I get so excited about Spring blooms and flowers because they are fleeting. They last for a short few weeks and then they are gone for the year. And there are so many gorgeous north shore MA locations with incredible spring blossoms. I literally get psyched to photograph families and couples in the Spring.

I had the privilege of photographing Linda and her family a few seasons back. Linda is the owner of All Purpose Flowers in Gloucester, Mass so she knows allll about the most beautiful Spring flowers. She’s my plant guru. As I look back at Linda’s maternity and family session, it is getting me excited for my 2020 photography season! Check out her bright and glowy maternity and family session and show her some love in the comments below.
