It is SINFUL that I have not shared this beautiful family session from 2021 on the Boston Common. And, yes, it’s “ The Common” not “The Commons.” I learned that the hard way my first semester of college when my professor accosted me for calling the park, “The Commons.” Apparently, adding an S to the name is a tell-tale sign you’re not from Boston… oopsies, caught red-handed!
As a Mother’s Day gift to his wife, Mr. R booked me for a family portrait session in one of their favorite Boston parks. The kids and I climbed old and twisting willow trees and explored the grounds together. I look back on this shoot and remember the feeling of fulfillment and joy I had after I parted ways with the R family. There’s something about that natural curiosity that children have that makes photographing them such a cathartic experience. It forces me to explore the world around me along with them.
