The Charm of the South Shore
One of my favorite quotes is 'Love where you live' and that could not be more true of our little corner of the world! Plymouth, Cape Cod and the entire Massachusetts South Shore could not be more beautiful.
The variety of landscapes to choose from is endless and I have spent years scouting out some of my favorite locations. Whether you want beachy, fields of tall grasses and wildflowers, overlooks that make you feel like you're in the mountains, gorgeous manicured gardens or an urban vibe - I have got just the spot for you.
Rustic & Rural
Open fields, barns, wooden accents + tall, overgrown grass.
Location ideas include:
Ellisville State Park, Bourne Farm, Tidmarsh, Bay Farm Field, Holmes Field and the Foothills Preserve.
Nature & Floral
A personal favorite! Think florals, lots of color, tall grasses and lots of nature in your images!
Location ideas include:
Brewster Garden/Jenny Pond in downtown Plymouth, Bay Farm Field,
Mayflower Society Garden, Heritage Museum & Garden
Beach &
On the Water
Pretty self explanatory...but keep in mind this doesn't have to just be a beach! It can be docks/piers, dunes or even on your boat if you want an adventure!
Location ideas include:
Ellisville, Scussett, Stephen's Field, Plymouth Beach, Sandwich Boardwalk, Bournedale Herring Run, Bay Farm & Nelson Beach
FAQs
What happens if the weather isn't favorable?
In the event of bad weather (rain, extreme wind, fog) we will reschedule. Don't trust the weather report more than a few days out - New England weather changes constantly! I will contact you a few days prior to your session which is when we will discuss final plans.
Can we bring pets to our session?
YES! I am a huge pet lover and LOVE when families bring their fur babies. I just ask that your pet(s) are leashed - especially in a public space. I suggest you bring treats and an extra set of hands to help with handling or if you want photos without them too. Some locations may not allow pets so please let me know ahead of time so we can plan properly.
What if my kids don't cooperate?
I have many tricks up my sleeve to help wrangle kids! I higly recommend you schedule the session during a good time for your child (right after nap for example). If your child is fussy, we can take a break for a snack etc, we can play some games to make it fun or we can have take some hugging and cuddling photos to help them feel comfortable. Sometimes those are the best photos! Bottom line, try not to stress because the kids will sense that. We will make the best of it and I will work my magic!
What do you recommend for outfits?
Check out my social media pages for any inspirational outfits, poses, locations etc. Pinterest is another great resource if you want to do some research!
What poses should we expect to be doing during the shoot?
• Photos of all family members • Photos of each parent with each child • Photos of siblings together • Photos of your family standing and/or sitting on the ground • Close-up individual portraits • Environmental focused photos • Playful/active photos • Any photo requests let All know!
