Family Photographer in Andover MA | Crabapple Photography

Serving Families in Andover, MA and the Boston Area

I love family photography! As a family photographer in Andover, MA, I truly believe that portraits are the perfect way to celebrate your wonderful and unique family. These photographs become more cherished over time—as the babies grow into children, then teenagers, and before you know it, they’re heading off to college!

Since 2009, I’ve worked with families from all over the North Shore of Massachusetts, Southern New Hampshire, Boston, and beyond. I have years of experience working with all ages and stages, which is extremely important when photographing (juggling!) family portrait sessions. My photography style is clean, whimsical, and focused on capturing fleeting moments and authentic family connections.

Where I Photograph Family Portraits

My cozy photography studio in Andover, MA is just north of Boston and serves families from nearby towns throughout the North Shore, including Reading, North Andover, Methuen, and the greater Boston area. I also frequently work with families from Essex County and Southern New Hampshire.

In addition to studio sessions, I also offer outdoor family photography in local parks, beaches, and sometimes even at clients’ homes. The location we choose depends on your personal style, comfort, and of course, the season!

What is The Best Season for Family Photos?

There’s truly no bad time to update your family portraits near Boston. The only regret most families have is not finding the time to do them sooner. Every season offers something special:

Fall: One of the most popular times for North Shore family photos, thanks to the beautiful New England foliage. It’s the busiest season for most family photographers near Boston, so book early!

Winter: Don’t shy away from winter portraits! If your family is up for it, outdoor winter sessions can be magical. Just bundle up and embrace the snow. Check out this Pinterest board for winter family photo ideas in MA.

Summer: Think beach! I love capturing beach family photography in late spring or early fall when the beaches are quieter and more comfortable. Check out my blog for what to wear for beach family photos.

Spring: Cherry blossoms and flowering trees are fleeting but stunning. If we time it right, spring sessions outdoors can be a dream. Of course, the studio is always a beautiful option as well.

Pets

Wondering if your furry friend can join in? The answer is yes! Pets are part of the family, and I’m always happy to include them in your North Shore family photography session. Check out this blog post about including pets in your family portraits.

What to Do With Your Family Photos

After your session, I’m here to help you decide how to enjoy your portraits. Whether that’s custom-framed artwork, canvases, a fine art album, or digital files. Many families choose a combination. My goal is to help you turn your photos into lasting memories, displayed proudly in your home.
