Giggles at Larz Anderson Park Share

I enjoyed spending time with Miss M. Our portrait session was in the late afternoon and I quickly learned about one of her most endearing qualities. When she gets tired, she can't stop giggling. Her levity was infectious and I can't remember the last time I giggled so much. So together we danced, bounced and giggled our way through the park.

Little Lady in the Park Share

Today we're sharing more photographs from our children's series at Lars Anderson Park.

This sweetie pie is little A. Her mom warned us that she can be a bit shy and suspected that she maybe reserved during the photo session. It's always a huge relief when we can coax a timid child to relax and enjoy the time in front of the camera. The best reward for us are photographs like these. You be the judge, is she having fun?

She really loved the pettiskirt!

Portrait Session at Larz Anderson Park Share

This summer, I've been creating a series of children's portraits at the Larz Anderson Park located in Brookline. It's a charming park with a little something for everyone. For children, the expansive grounds offer plenty of room to run and an intriguing pond with ducks, koi and frogs. Warning: there is a high risk of wet feet. For adults, there are the beautifully landscaped gardens, surprising architectural details and the adjoining Auto Museum.

I find it an enchanting location for taking pictures or enjoying a beautiful summer day. One recent session was with little B.

He is a die hard Red Sox Fan! Without a doubt the most serious 3 year old fan I've met. He has created the Red Sox song in which he recites the starting line-up! Chris joined me this day and together we had a great time chatting about our favorite team. B kept us on our toes. The best was when he was talking about Josh Beckett, the ace pitcher for the Sox. B quietly informed us that most of the time he pitches but sometimes he hits home runs. This does sound unusual for a Red Sox pitcher whose spot in the batting line-up is filled by the designated hitter. However, they had recently played in a National League park where the pitchers must take their own at bats. Josh Beckett did indeed hit a home run. This is a why I love working with children.

During our portrait session, we began with some pictures in the outfit we wore to the park. B was excited to change into the baseball uniform and begin playing. I do owe Chris an extra thank you for helping out on this session. The baseball came dangerously close to his head several times.
