YOUR GUIDE TO

Family Sessions

Boston + Cape Cod Family Photographer
Authentic, Timeless and Effortless
Photos & Cinematic Film

Family is everything.

One of the things I love most as a Boston + Cape Cod Family Photographer is capturing the connection that makes your family “yours.”

Whether we’re at the beach or tucked into a quiet spot that feels like home, I’ll guide you through a calm, connected experience where you can simply enjoy being together.

No pressure. No awkward posing. Just room to slow down and be present.

My goal is to make your session feel easy from the first email to the final delivery—so you can stay in the moment while I preserve it.

    Caryn is such a joy to work with! Super warm and easy going.

    Our session was done at the beach – the wind was strong – but Caryn managed to get the most beautiful shots. She is incredibly talented and her photos are literal art. 100% recommend!

Your Family Session Experience

A calm, full‑service experience designed to honor your journey into motherhood. From our very first conversation, I’ll guide you through every detail so you can simply enjoy the process.

  • Thoughtfully chosen locations: Golden beaches, grassy fields, or cozy corners at home…each spot is handpicked to reflect your family’s energy and connection.
  • Effortless styling support: I’ll guide you through wardrobe options that feel natural, flattering, and cohesive—no stiff outfits or Pinterest pressure.
  • Easy, connected sessions: No awkward posing here. You’ll play, cuddle, explore, and I’ll gently direct where needed to make sure every photo looks beautiful and feels real.

  • Your choice of location (I have some incredible spots I can share with you!)
  • Help with styling your outfits (from your wardrobe, or my Styling Catalogue has easy, clickable links for ordering online)

Optional Add‑Ons

Tailor your session to be perfectly yours.

  • Cinematic film to capture movement on another level… that loving glance, tender touch, hilarious moment! Filmed during your session, in an easy and relaxed addition to your stills. $545
  • Heirloom Artwork — starting at $55

Tell your story on another level

Add A Cinematic Family Video to your Session

This is not just a slideshow photos set to music, but a timeless 2-4 min film with licensed music adds a whole dimension to your experience! It is so beautiful to see your family through an artists eye in real time!
Please let me know before shoot day if you’d like to add one, as I can’t produce it after the fact…it’s filmed along with your photos!

Have any QUESTIONS?

These FAQ’s should help answer many of your questions about your session with your professional Boston + Cape Cod Family Photographer- and there is not question too small!
If you have a question that is not covered here, feel free to get in touch.


You will have a complete gallery from which to choose your art from. You will be spoiled for choice!

I will aim to have your proofs ready within 1-2 weeks after your session, at which time we will meet for your Reveal – I will show you your beautiful images, and you can place your order.

As an award winning Boston + Cape Cod Family Photographer, my schedule books up quickly, and sometimes books a year in advance for fall sessions!
I suggest reserving your session date as soon as you know you want a session. The retainer reserves your spot on the schedule, and if you would like to make a tentative date, and then firm it up a couple of months before the session when you have a better idea of your calendar, that’s totally fine!

Once you have booked your session, we will chat about your style, and what works best being photographed and in editing. I have suggestions with general guidelines and then based on specific colors and styles that will bring out the best of you! Text threads are filled with links to online options, photos of outfits being tried on, and general fun chit chat! A style board will show the comprehensive co-ordination of all the clothing for each person.

New England is gorgeous and sessions can take place just about anywhere! The final choice will be a combination of the view/landscape, the type of experience you’d like to have, and most importantly, the light.
Having been a Boston + Cape Cod family photographer for decades I know of some epic locations, and magical nooks and crannies that are still secret and exclusive!
Travel sessions happen all over the world at epic locations! So far we have USA (MA, NH, CT, RI, GA, FL and HI) and South Africa among our favorite locations.
