Let me guess- just the thought of hiring a Boston family photographer has you starting to sweat. Planning everyone's outfits, getting your partner on board, wrangling toddlers...hello, overwhelm.
Would you believe me if I told you taking your family photos could be easy and dare I say...enjoyable?! Because they can be.
Beautiful portraits of your growing family without having to plan anything at all. If you're looking for a Boston family photographer who takes care of everything from start to finish- you're in the right place.
Organic portraits and a refined, full-service experience.
Between school drop-offs, nap schedules, and the never-ending pile of laundry, finding time for family photos can feel impossible.
Here’s the thing: time isn’t slowing down. Those chubby baby cheeks, the way your toddler reaches for your hand, the giggles shared between siblings—these moments are fleeting.
You don’t have to have the perfect outfits or wait for life to feel “less hectic” (spoiler: it never really does). Because at the end of the day, you’ll never regret taking the photos—only not having them.
Family sessions with me involve a lot of movement and play; your kiddos won't be expected to sit still or smile on command. Giving gentle direction (read: fun games, movement and play!) to facilitate interactions that are authentic and full of connection is what I do best.
Outdoor sessions (offered May-October) are a popular choice for families. Our studio in Central MA is also available- perfect for the winter months!
After our session, enjoy your images from the comfort of home (put together as a beautiful slideshow set to music- my favorite part!) and choose your collection. I'll help you design heirloom artwork to enjoy for years to come.

I want to learn about your family, your style, your vision for this session. We will put together all the details, from styling and choosing the perfect location to planning for how you will use these images in your home.
I take care of all the details, so all you have to worry about is loving on your family. Because this is your opportunity to freeze time and document this season of life.

Reserving your boston family session
Family sessions with me involve a lot of movement and play; your kiddos won't be expected to sit still or smile on command. Let's be honest, we all want our kids to be on their best behavior for photos, but if your family is anything like mine- it'll be a 50/50 shot at best.
My job is to get to know your children, create a welcoming, safe environment and then encourage them to be exactly who they are. On session day, you’ll see me getting on the floor with your little one so she can tell me all about her favorite stuffed animal. I’ll be the one putting on your kiddo’s favorite song so we can have a dance party.
I spent years as a public school teacher (and have two wild boys of my own) so chaos is my happy place. Trust me- there isn't much I haven't seen.

what to expect from your

Boston family photographer
Molly is magic!
Family photos with a toddler (especially ours) are chaotic at best, and Molly made us feel comfortable and reassured us that she had a few tricks up her sleeve. The end result was better than we could have ever imagined, and we now have the most beautiful photos of our family AND our toddler smiling! We can't wait to work with Molly again!
frequently asked questions
Where will our Boston family photography Session take place?
In our Holden, MA studio, at your home or outdoors. Outdoor sessions for your Boston family photos are available from May-October. We've scouted the best locations for you to choose from.
Can you help us feel comfortable in front of the camera?
I can! Your experience will be tailored to YOU. Rest assured, there is nothing I expect you to know. Where do I put my hands? Does this angle work for me? How should I stand? Where do I look?! I walk you through every step! The results will be a gallery full of images that truly capture the phase of life you're in right now with your family.
Fear not! Family sessions with me are all about embracing the moment. Maintaining calm in the chaos is my super power. Giving gentle direction (read: fun games, movement and play!) to facilitate interactions that are authentic and full of connection is what I do best.
Fun fact: I have a Master's degree in education. My teaching experience informs my work as a Boston family photographer and I always have a few tricks up my sleeve!
My kids are walking chaos, what if they don't cooperate for our Boston photo session?
What time do you schedule Boston family portraits?
Studio sessions take place in the morning, when we get the best natural light indoors. Outdoor family sessions take place 1-2 hours before sunset depending on the time of year.
How much can I expect to invest in my family photos?
After your Boston family portrait session, you'll view your images in a beautiful online gallery before deciding what you want to purchase. My most popular collections include artwork and digitals, ranging in price from $1900 to $3200.

With a wardrobe full of dresses for mom and personalized styling (including links to shop!) for the rest of your family- the what-to-wear dilemma is over!
family portrait details
My kids take some time to warm up, how long do we have?
I don't put time limits on sessions. Every Boston family portrait session is different and we'll move at your pace. Some sessions can take as little as 30-45 minutes, others we spend additional time so little ones can get comfortable and enjoy the experience.
I know how easy it is to let photos sit on your computer, waiting for “someday” when you have time to print them. But with a growing family and busy schedules that only get busier—someday rarely comes.
That’s exactly why I handle it all for you.
From selecting the perfect images for framed wall art to designing heirloom albums, I take the overwhelm out of the process so your favorite memories don’t just live on a hard drive.
Whether you choose digital files, wall art or an album, we'll turn your vision into reality...and have everything delivered right to your door.
Collections range from $1900 to $3000.

When I first looked at Molly's portfolio I knew I wanted her to take pictures of our newborn. Working with Molly was the best experience. Our baby is baby number 4 and she was absolutely great with all of our kids! She made us all feel so relaxed took the most beautiful photos of our family. We will cherish them forever!
I can't put into words how happy I am.

She has all of my trust, knowing the outcome will be the most beautiful and meaningful photos of my family that we will cherish for a lifetime. Her studio is heavenly, so beautiful and inviting, with offers of an incredible wardrobe. Our photos have wowed our family and friends, and it is all of these reasons and more than we want Molly to be the one to continue to capture our family over the years.
Molly has beautifully captured our family time and time again.

Not only does Molly have a warm and loving presence, she is also a baby whisperer. With a newborn, we found it so helpful that she was able to come to us and it was impressive to see how she captured such amazing photos in our home. When we received our gallery, we were blown away. They are the most special gift and we will cherish these sweet images of our little one forever.
Molly took our photos and it was the most magical experience.
