Listen, I’m not trying to rain on anybody’s beach day, I’m just reminding you that holiday cards are pointless without photos of your gorgeous family…and sometimes people forget to book them until it’s too late! September and October are prime time to get those beautiful fall shots in, but they book up pretty fast. It’s important to plan now so you have time to actually order your holiday cards. I do both mini sessions and full family sessions straight through November, but it does get cold eventually (darn New England) and those little noses turn red!

The South Shore has so many beautiful spots to shoot. I love both the beach/river and a nice autumn field. Depending on the look you’re going for, there are plenty of options!
