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.
