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 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.
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.
Molly, where do I begin?
I was in tears going through the album. You have a gift. I cannot thank you enough for preserving these memories for us. We will treasure them forever!

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.
Absolutely. I guide you through everything, from where to stand to what to do with your hands. You don’t need any experience. I’ll direct you step by step so the session feels relaxed and natural.
You’ll have access to my client wardrobe for moms, plus personalized styling guidance for the whole family, including shopping links. I’ll help you choose outfits that feel cohesive and photograph beautifully.

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!
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.
