What can be better than having an awesome brother and a beautiful sister in-law? Taking their maternity pictures on a cloudy day at beautiful and picturesque Larz Anderson Park in Brookline. Needless to say, that we were able to incorporate nature, architectural elements, spring bloom and countless smiles into this memorable photo session. Dear BK, congratulations again on this wonderful milestone, and I am excited to share a few sneakpeak images from your beautiful photo session!

Time flies, and I can't believe that 25 years of friendship has led me to this maternity photo session. I could not be happier to take maternity pictures on this beautiful Spring day for a friend and father to be as well as his beautiful better half!! We did have to brave some wind, but other than that the day was beautiful and we did our best to enjoy and take advantage of this golden hour lighting at Larz Anderson Park in Brookline. Dear Briana and Alex, congratulations again on upcoming addition to your family! It has been a great pleasure capturing this important milestone for you!

Foliage, Larz Anderson Park, warm fall weather and countless smiles, what else could a photographer wish for! Kids grow fast, and it feels like yesterday, I was chasing J. for his first birthday portraits. Well, four years later, a young lad can do way more then crawl, and definitely has a few steps on me :) Dear Elizabeth and Alex, thank you very much for choosing RaskinStudio for your annual family portraits. It is with great pleasure I am sharing a few sneak peak images from your session!

Photographers live for beautiful foliage colors, and the foliage season is finally here!! Needless to say I was super excited to photograph this beautiful family at picturesque Larz Anderson Park. This year did not disappoint, since the foliage season just happened to overlap with warm autumn day!! Everyone had a great time, running, bike riding, and even napping, not forgetting to smile for the camera in-between :) Dear Lida and Ilya, thank you for choosing RaskinStudio for your annual family pictures! It is with great pleasure I would like to share a few sneak peak images on my blog!

I could not wish for a more perfect foliage day to take pictures of this beautiful family at Larz Anderson park. As the trees started turning red and yellow, it was a perfect opportunity to document this little girl's 1st birthday!! As with all of my outdoor sessions, we were able to capture countless smiles with a breathtaking backdrop of late afternoon natural light and colorful trees and nature. Dear C. and N. congratulations again on your daughter's 1st birthday, and thank you very much for choosing RaskinStudio for your foliage family pictures. It is with great pleasure I am sharing a few sneak peak images on my blog!

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! It is with great pleasure I would like to share a few sneak peak images from your memorable photo session!

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!
