Family events in Quincy, MA

Capture new portraits in Boston’s Beacon Hill with a local photographer, as you stroll past cobblestones, brick-lined alleys, and classic row houses in this National Historic Landmark neighborhood. The mini portrait experience includes a 15-minute session and one edited image for you to download. After the shoot, you will select your favorite photo during a Zoom video call, and that image will be polished and delivered. If you want more than the single included photo, options are available for extra digital files, boxed prints, wall art, albums, cards, and other upgrades. Longer sessions and packages that include additional locations can also be arranged, and the area offers iconic backdrops, including the country’s most photographed street.
