Capture Your Family’s Story: Finding Your Perfect Photo Location

Your family deserves photos that feel honest and feel like “you”—those real, joy-filled moments that make a New England home feel so special. But with so many New England family photo locations to choose from, finding the perfect spot can feel overwhelming. Whether you’re drawn to the charm of in-home sessions or the stunning landscapes of our six states, the right New England family photo location helps tell your unique story and create lasting memories.

Why Choosing the Right Location Matters

You might be wondering: Will the weather cooperate for outdoor photos? Would your home make a good backdrop? How will you keep the kids comfortable during the session?

I understand these concerns. After photographing many of families across New England, I’ve discovered that the perfect location isn’t about finding the most scenic spot – it’s about where your family’s story shines through.

The Magic of In-Home Sessions

Let me take you through a recent session that perfectly captures this idea. Stepping into a classic New England home, on a crisp autumn afternoon, the fireplace crackling softly and warm light streaming through windows, I watched as this sweet family naturally settled into their favorite spaces. The child played in their usual toys, parents relaxed in familiar corners of the couch, and even their dog knew exactly where to curl up for the perfect shot.

Choosing Your Perfect New England Location

That’s the magic of choosing the right location – whether it’s your cozy home or one of New England’s stunning outdoor settings. Every space has the potential to tell your unique story. Here’s how the space can impact the session.

The right location sets the mood: It can create the perfect atmosphere, whether it’s warm and intimate or vast and inspiring, influencing how you and others feel in that moment. Will you explore in a field or cuddle up and read together?

A reflection of your personality: Selecting a location that aligns with your style and values brings your story to life. When your photos capture you engaging in activities that feel natural and comfortable, your images will genuinely reflect your ease and comfort. This is especially great when trying to get photos of kids!

Enhances memories: Places become the backdrop of your most cherished moments, making your story more vivid and meaningful over time.

Brings people closer: The right environment encourages connection, whether it’s sharing laughter in a cozy living room or letting your kiddo run barefoot on the beach (yay no tantrums about getting shoes on! <3 ).

Inspires creativity: Beautiful or meaningful locations can spark new ideas, turning simple moments into extraordinary experiences.

Do we have to clean our house?!

No need to worry or stress! In-home sessions aren’t about frantically cleaning or perfectly organizing everything. The goal is to capture your story just as it is—authentic and real, right here and now. All you really need is some natural light (one good window is plenty!) and a bit of tidying up in the rooms you use most. Nothing drastic—just tuck away dirty clothes in the closet, clear off surfaces of items that don’t belong there long-term (like glasses on side tables), and stash your kids’ snacks from earlier. Don’t worry, we’ll have plenty more snacks during the session!

The perks of being at home for photos?

There are many perks! Such as capturing the morning light streaming through your kitchen windows as the kids help prepare breakfast, savoring the peaceful moments in your cozy reading nook where bedtime stories come to life, and embracing the genuine comfort that only being in your own space can bring.

Best of all, everything you need is right at your fingertips! Need a quick bathroom break? No problem! Feeling hungry? Snacks are just around the corner. Time for an outfit change? You’ve got a private, easy spot to switch whenever you want.

And of course there’s no restrictions on whether pets are allowed!!

Outdoor New England Settings

In-home sessions are perfect for the chilly New England weather, but if you’re planning to book during the warmer months and want to take advantage of the beautiful summertime, here are some great outdoor location options that showcase New England’s natural beauty.

Creating Timeless Family Memories

The perfect location for your family photos isn’t about following trends – it’s about choosing a place where your family can truly be themselves. Whether that’s running along beach paths, introducing your baby to New England’s historic sites, or simply cuddling on your front porch, the right location is one that tells your family’s unique story.

Don’t let another season of life pass without documenting these precious moments. Your children are growing, and these everyday scenes deserve to be preserved. Parent’s don’t forget, you deserve to be in the photos too!
