Why Seaport is a Great Place for Photos with Older Kids | Boston Family Photographer
I have a new favorite place to take family photos— as long as kids are older and they can follow instructions.
Looking for something new
I needed something new. While I have locations I love, every now and then, I need to try out a new location. I had never considered Harborwalk, and it turned out to be a great location.
It was crowded there, but we made it work! We met in Seaport, right outside of Davio’s, in a location with a perfect view of the skyline, a beautiful brick walkway, modern glass buildings, and a nice park.
Surprising Variety
I love a location that can give me some variety, and Seaport did not disappoint.
Water, water, everywhere
My only concern was the lack of fence or wall along the water. Great for older kids. I would advise not to use this location with children under three who tend to bolt.
I always love when parents give me the freedom to capture their kids in their essence. This mom always wants a few “nice” photos, but especially loves when we can let the girls be their silly, sassy selves.
Play Time
I love to let kids play during a session. We even took a break and the girls acted out a “Tea Pahhhhhty”. We were in Boston Harbor, after all!
If you’re looking for something different, and have no worries about kids and waterfronts, consider Seaport for a location.
