The gardens at the Stevens Coolidge Place in North Andover are just so beautiful. While it’s a drive from Boston, it’s well worth it if a client is looking for a magical garden setting. It’s been well worth the season pass I purchase to do photo sessions there — especially in September. This family happens to live in the area and they knew what a gem of a spot it is. And so perfect to photograph little Julia as she frolicked and explored the property.
I love these images of Julia and her mom, we talked a lot about the “fairies” that live in the garden and she had a fun time looking for traces of them. 
So much of this season was really carefree… Julia is three, so we kind of just let her explore, and be a little girl.
At one point she just relaxed in the grass for a little break!
These are some of my favorites. I used a bit of a softer process on them, too.
She looks like she’s putting a spell on something in the one on the right!
If you’d like a garden photo session, get in touch today and we’ll set it up. late Spring and early Fall are the most perfect times at the Stevens Coolidge Place, and at other garden locations, too!
