Family Session at Home in Andover, MA – Real Moments, Real Memories

As a family photographer in Andover, Massachusetts, one of the questions I hear most often is:

“Where should we do our family session?”

There are so many beautiful outdoor locations around Boston and the North Shore — from the Boston Public Garden to the beaches in Glouscester or the Seaport District — but sometimes the most meaningful and comfortable place is the one you already know so well: your own home.

That’s exactly what we did for Jessica and Derek’s family session in Andover, and it couldn’t have been more perfect. The afternoon was full of laughter, games, and the kind of simple joy that only happens when everyone feels at ease. Their boys, Graham (3) and Leo (1), played in the backyard, giggled with their parents, and even joined in with the family’s dogs — making it a true reflection of their everyday life together.

🌿 WHY AN AT-HOME FAMILY SESSION IS SO SPECIAL

There are so many reasons to love photographing families right where they live and love:

Comfort & connection: Kids (and parents!) feel instantly relaxed at home. No rush, no distractions — just genuine smiles and fun.

Real moments: Whether it’s building with blocks, playing hide-and-seek, or cuddling on the couch, I capture the real interactions that show your family’s personality.

Including pets: Your furry friends are part of the family too! At-home sessions make it easy (and fun!) to include them in the photos.

Personal touch: Every corner of your home tells your story — from your living room to the backyard where the kids love to play.

Weather-proof & easy: You don’t have to worry about rain, travel, or logistics — just enjoy your time together.

An at-home session isn’t about perfection; it’s about capturing your family’s story as it truly is — full of love, laughter, and life.

If you’re planning a family photo session in Andover, or anywhere around Boston or the North Shore, consider staying where your memories are being made. Sometimes the perfect backdrop is the one you call home.
