Let me guess - the thought of family photos already feels like a lot. Outfits, schedules, getting your partner on board, wrangling kiddos...hello, overwhelm.
But your Boston family photos can actually be easy (and dare I say, enjoyable?!). I take care of the details so you can focus on being with your family.
If you’re looking for a Boston family photographer who makes beautiful, natural portraits feel effortless from start to finish, you’re in the right place.
Family photos don’t have to mean everyone looking at the camera and smiling at the same time.
Your Boston family photography session is about the way your family actually feels right now - the snuggles, silliness, little personalities and all the in-between moments that make this season yours.
I’ll give you plenty of guidance along the way, so you can stop worrying about what everyone is doing and simply enjoy your family.
Family sessions with me involve plenty of movement and play. Your kids won’t be expected to sit still or smile on command. I’ll give gentle direction along the way, creating space for natural interactions and real connection.
Outdoor sessions are a favorite for families from May–October, with my studio in Central MA available year-round.
After your session, you’ll view your images from home and choose your favorites. If you’d like artwork, I offer full design services to make the process easy from start to finish.
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!

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.
Molly has an extraordinary gift...
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.

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.

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!!
