A Story Worth Capturing: Family Portraits in Maine with Beaux & Arrows
Imagine the crisp air of a Maine autumn, the golden light filtering through apple trees at a quiet orchard. Your children laugh as they chase each other across the grassy expanse, while you and your partner share a quiet smile, soaking in the beauty of the moment. This isn’t just another day—it’s your family’s story, unfolding in real time. At Beaux & Arrows, I turn these fleeting moments into timeless heirlooms, offering a portrait experience that feels effortless, elegant, and uniquely yours.
For families seeking a bespoke photography session in some of Maine’s most stunning locations—or for those looking for a budget-friendly option with just as much heart—I offer both Full Family Portrait Sessions and Mini Sessions. Each experience is designed to capture the essence of your family’s connection while celebrating the beauty of Maine and New England.
A Full Family Session: More Than Just Photos
A full family session with Beaux & Arrows is a collaboration, a carefully planned experience that reflects your family’s unique personality and story. We begin with an in-depth consultation, diving into your vision and the details that make your family one of a kind. Do you love the dramatic cliffs of Cape Elizabeth? Or perhaps the serene fields and rustic charm of Freeport feel more like home? Every decision—from location to wardrobe—is made with your family’s style in mind.
What Makes a Full Session Unique?
Full sessions offer the time and flexibility to create a diverse gallery of images, blending candid interactions with polished, editorial-style portraits. These sessions are perfect for milestone celebrations, annual traditions, or simply capturing the joy of being together.
During your session, we’ll explore your chosen location, allowing moments to unfold naturally. Your children playing in the sand at Ogunquit Beach, a quiet embrace under the golden light of a Maine sunset, the joy in your family’s laughter—all of these moments come together to tell your story.
"Rebecca made the entire experience so easy and enjoyable. She took the time to really understand what we wanted, and the photos are absolutely breathtaking. Every image feels like a work of art."
For Life’s Little Moments: Mini Sessions
Sometimes, the most meaningful memories happen in the little moments. For families who want beautiful portraits without the commitment of a full session, my Mini Sessions are the perfect option. These short and sweet sessions are held at pre-selected locations throughout Maine, featuring themes and backdrops that capture the magic of each season.
Mini sessions are designed to be quick, fun, and affordable while maintaining the same level of quality and care as my full sessions. At just 10 minutes long, they’re ideal for families with young children or busy schedules.
Why Choose a Mini Session?
Affordable Luxury: Mini sessions start at $395, making professional photography more accessible.
Time-Efficient: Perfect for capturing a few stunning images without requiring a full day of planning.
Seasonal Themes: From spring greenhouses to autumn orchards and holiday farms, every mini session offers a unique backdrop to suit your family’s style.
