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. I am excited to watch kids from previous years grow, and turn into little geniuses, with polite manners and unique personalities. 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!!

All I can say is "cuteness overload" when I think about a beautiful foliage outdoor family session that I got to capture at picturesque Wellesley College campus!! The weather Gods smiled at us last Sunday, and we really got to enjoy what could be the last warm day of this past foliage season!! And in no way did it disappoint!! Baby Q. was serious, yet composed and really did not mind posing for over an hour and a half, which is really a record for a six month old child :) We did a good amount of walking around, taking some pictures with foliage backdrop, by the stone bridge and the library facade. Smiling parents, happy kids and beautiful warm weather, what more can a photographer ask for? Dear Katie and Pete, thank you very much for choosing RaskinStudio to capture your family pictures! It is with great pleasure I would like to share a few sneak peak images from your fun outdoor session!

I knew that my retro red bike will be a hit with the kids, and getting them to share was a bit of a challenge. Baby M. and baby G. were politely taking turns riding it around beautiful Wellesley College campus, that is until big boy (also known as dad) Ilya decided to show everyone how it really should be done :) Putting the bike sharing moments aside, I really feel that we lucked out with the weather and fully took advantage of the foliage settings before the cold weather set in. Having a cloudy warm overcast day at the end of October, is really a treat for me as a photographer as well as the families involved in a family photo session :) Needless to say everyone had a good time, and I was able to take advantage of a perfect opportunity to capture countless smiles, hugs and candid moments :) Dear Lida and Ilya, thank you very much for choosing RaskinStudio to document your family this fall. It is with great pleasure I would like to share a couple of sneak peak images from your memorable session!

When foliage season comes to New England in full swing, Wellesley College campus turns into a magnificent backdrop for family photo sessions, and this cloudy warm day did not disappoint. It was a special treat, as I got to catch up with baby M. after our first session almost a year ago to the date. It was great catching him smile, laugh and enjoy beautiful colorful leaves on the trees and on the ground. This made me reminiscence and yet again remember what being kid is all about :) Dear Maggie and James, thank you very much for choosing RaskinStudio to capture these memorable moments. It is with great pleasure I would like to share a few sneak peak images from this fun outdoor foliage photo session!

When life sends you lemons, use them to make some awesome lemonade, which is what we did when our original photo session date at beautiful Welleley College Campus got rained out. We rescheduled for the next non-rainy day, and it definitely did not disappoint. Braving some chilly morning weather, we were able to take advantage of the morning "golden hour" in addition to close to peak foliage conditions. What else can a photographer wish during a fall session in New England!! Needless to say that baby J. was all smiles, which just made the whole session into a small and fun filled adventure :) Dear Elizabeth and Alex, thank you very much for choosing RaskinStudio to document your beautiful family second year in a row! It is with great pleasure I would like to share a few sneak peak images from your colorful and stylish family session.

I got lucky today, since perfect outdoors photo weather was on hand to go along with a perfect outdoors wedding that started out with an elegant and adventurous portrait session at Larz Anderson Park in Brookline, and continued with an intimate celebration on a cruise boat leaving from CambridgeSide Galleria. This couple had everything starting with a great sense of humor, warmth and charisma, which made documenting their big day an easy going photo and a beautiful photo experience. Dear Christina and Eran, thank you again for choosing RaskinStudio to document your memorable wedding day. I am excited to share a few sneak peak images with you in this post.

To say that this Fun and Stylish Bar Mitzvah celebration was just fun, would be an understatement!! Prior to having a beautiful Bar Mitzvah ceremony for their two sons at Harvard Hillel, I met the whole family for a casual lifestyle portrait session next to Harvard Business School. The weather was beautiful and as a result we were rewarded with some classic and candid style portraits as we walked around, slowly making our way to Harvard Hillel. We proceeded with taking some more formal pictures with extended family outside of Harvard Hillel, and I am happy to say that everyone was all smiles and ready for pictures. The ceremony itself was beautiful and took place on the second floor of Hillel house. Dear Lori and Ben, congratulations again on a beautiful Bar Mitzvah of your sons and thank you very much for choosing RaskinStudio to document such a memorable event. I am very excited to share a few sneak peak images from this unforgettable day in this blog post.

What could be better than enjoying a truly warm and sunny spring day? That is right, spending it taking pictures of a beautiful family at Wellesley College, one of the most picturesque photo spots around Boston!! In addition to all the excitement, it was time to celebrate Baby R.'s first birthday, and he did not disappoint!! We spend a while exploring Wellesley College campus, and Baby R. was happy to show off his birthday spirits, sometimes sharing his charismatic smiles, and at times giving everyone very thoughtful looks... he is about to turn one after all :) Dear T. and M. thank you very much for choosing RaskinStudio to document such a happy and exciting event in your lives. It is my great pleasure to share a couple Sneak Peak images with you in this post!!

Perfect spring weather and perfect natural lighting really played along during a fun and stylish maternity session over the past weekend in Natick. I really enjoyed taking pre-baby pictures of this radiant couple and very excited to share a few sneak peak images on my blog. Dear Liz and Ilya, thank you for choosing RaskinStudio to document such an important moment in your life. I look forward to meeting your baby boy shortly!!

I feel extremely grateful for an opportunity to photography this Beautiful, Stylish and Adventurous family at Wellesley  College in the midst of a foliage season!! As an additional bonus I got to meet fun loving and outgoing baby G. who was not around when I photographed this family a couple of year ago :)!! I was happy to see that everyone brought their smiles on and were ready to pose, chase each other, play with the leafs and fully take advantage of a beautiful and picturesque photo backdrop. Dear V. and V. thank you for choosing RaskinStudio to document your handsome and fun family on this unforgettable day!! It is with great pleasure I am sharing a few sneak peak images from this family photo session!
