This past fall I was able to take family photos for a family of seven. Five children and a gorgeous mom and dad. They lived a good distance away from me and we agreed to find a place to meet in the middle of their home and mine. This ended up being Burlington, Massachusetts. 

What makes for the perfect location for outdoor family photos? For me there are three things that I look for.  Ease of access is important, especially if you have young children included in the mix. You want plenty of space to avoid having other people or unattractive building structures in the background. And you want a place that can offer up a wide variety of backdrops so that your photos don’t end up all looking the same. 

Finding a place that meets these requirements isn’t always easy. Especially when you have I-95 running through the middle of town and industrial parks popping up left and right. When I set out to find an outdoor photo location in Burlington I didn’t think I would find much, until I stumbled onto Mary Cummings Park. Let’s take a look at why this little park is my favorite photo spot in Burlington. While I ramble on about why I loved this park I’ll be including photos from the session I shot there earlier this year. 

I loved photographing at  Mary Cummings Park and felt like it met all of my requirements for the perfect photo location. What’s a favorite location in the Burlington Area for you? Let me know!
