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.

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 :)

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. The only thing that can be better than taking pictures of kids, is watching them grow and flourish over the years. During this foliage session, we were lucky to catch a glimpse of pre-winter warmth as well as beautiful golden light!! All I really had to do is press the button on my camera to capture countless smiles and laughs.. Dear Maggie and James, thank you again for choosing RaskinStudio to capture your beautiful family. It is with great pleasure I would like to share a few sneak peak images from this memorable session!!

What can be a better thing to do for your third birthday, than to capture some beautiful fall images at picturesque Larz Anderson Park in Brookline. This was our 3rd photo session with this family, and everyone was dressed and ready for endless smiles and laughs. This was literally a walk in the park, where we got to take advantage of warm foliage weather and great natural lighting. Dear Liz and Alex, thank you for choosing RaskinStudio to document your beautiful family! It is with great pleasure I would like to share a few images from this unforgettable photo session.

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!!

To say that Sneha and Nilangshu's wedding photo session was amazing would be an equivalent to not saying much about this wedding at all!! This beautiful couple braved rain and cold to let the charm and charisma shine in their elegant and adventurous pictures that we captured at picturesque and mesmerizing Walden Pond right before the sunset. As we got to the pond, the clouds have parted, which allowed us to take some pictures at no other location than Henry Thoreau's house retreat, slowly making our way to the beach, where stillness and calm water reflection was waiting for us. Just when I thought that taking pictures at sunset was pretty magical, we made our way to Alden Castle venue in Brookline, where we continued to capture countless smiles, toasts, hugs and kisses, while taking in the charm of this antique castle. Dear Sneha and Nilangshu, thank you very much for choosing RaskinStudio to document your unforgettable wedding celebration!! It is with great pleasure I would like to share a few sneak peak images from your memorable wedding day!!
