Boston Family Photographer
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 kiddos...hello, overwhelm.
Would you believe me if I told you taking your Boston 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 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, you’ll view your images from the comfort of home and select your favorites. For families who want artwork, I offer full design services so your portraits can be enjoyed for years to come.

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.

With four children under the age of four involved, I was a bit nervous, but Molly handled everything with such calm professionalism. She kept the little ones engaged and happy, which allowed the parents to fully relax and enjoy the experience.
The result? The most stunning, heartfelt photos I have ever seen. When we shared the gallery with my in-laws, there were tears—it was truly that moving. Molly has an extraordinary gift for capturing not just smiles, but the emotion and connection behind each moment. Her eye for detail and her editing work are pure magic.

Oh my God, Molly. I haven’t even finished looking through the fully gallery, and I’m floored. These are absolutely incredible and more than I could have ever hoped for! I truly don’t know how you make the process so fast and fun while still getting the most amazing shots of my family. As the mom who has a full camera roll of her husband and children, I can’t possibly thank you enough!!
