Kids and families grow fast, and it brings me lots of joy to document this process over the years! On a beautiful fall day we got together at Larz Anderson Park in Brookline for some family pictures and the day did not disappoint. The kiddos, serious at times had lots of fun playing with vintage bikes and posing for pictures, and indeed the parents were all smiles:) Dear Maggie and James, thank you for choosing RaskinStudio for your annual family portrait session. It is my pleasure to share some sneakpeak images with you on this blog! 

This adventurous and fun family session took place at beautiful Larz Anderson park in Brookline on the later side of the foliage season. On a chilly November morning nothing could stop this charming family from smiling, laughing and of course acting a little goofy. While kids were playing with antique bikes and cars, all I had to do is stand by and take some pictures :) Dear Ilya and Lida, thank you for choosing RaskinStudio for your family photography!

Behind the scenes :)

Golden hour is the last hour of light before the sunset, which serves as the best backdrop for taking family portraits at any location. Needless to say, when I ended up at Arnold Arboretum park an hour before the sunset, with a beautiful family in front of me, I felt really fortunate. Kids had a lot of fun, smiling, chasing each other and taking turns riding a bike and posing for some pictures on an antique red toy car. Therefore, my job was really limited to observing and pressing the button on my cameras to capture this timeless images. Dear Edgar and Carrie, thank you very much for choosing RaskinStudio to capture your family portraits. It is with great pleasure I would like to share a few sneak peak images from this Stylish and Adventurous photo session!

Stylish, Fun, Beautiful, Unforgettable, are just a few adjectives that come to mind when I am thinking about a memorable Bat Mitzvah that I got to document today. At the same time, the fact that I did a couple of family photo sessions for this beautiful family, and watched them grow over the years brings me some extra joy! We started out today with some traditional family formals by the Bima and smoothly transitioned into an unforgettable ceremony with songs, prayers, music and a little mysticism of the Jewish tradition that gets passed down from parents to kids through many generations. After the ceremony, it was time to party, and party people did!! It is with great pleasure I would like to share a few sneak peak images in this blog post as I work on the rest of the images from this memorable photo collection!

Perfect fall day was waiting for us at Larz Anderson Park!! Luckily, I was meeting a beautiful family which I was fortunate to photograph over the past couple of years.

We started out with casual and relaxed family formal and couples portraits and Larz Anderson, slowly making our way to Hale Reservation where a beautiful outdoors Ketubah and Huppah ceremonies have followed.

From magical golden lighting, to perfect overcast late afternoon weather, this beautiful adventurous and stylish outdoor session could not go wrong. Everybody was in great spirits, including two best behaved Collie family dogs which obediently followed their owners and were happy to pose and smile on demand. We started out with a few group images taking advantage of picturesque settings with late summer blooming flowers, and concluded with some individual images. Needless to say, this wonderful family just could not stop smiling :) I am very excited to share a few sneakpeak images in this blog post, as I am working on processing the rest of the images in the near future! 

Every May for the past 9 years, I am anxiously waiting to stop by and take some professional portraits for all participants at Henry Frost's Children's Program in Belmont. Needless to say, it is a day filled with pure happiness, excitement, countless smiles and colorful outfits.

They are always well prepared for their annual portrait sessions, leading by example and demonstrating best photo poses to their classmates, who are new this year. I am happy to share a few sneak peak images in this blog post!!
