Hi Friends! 

Sharing some photos from a session back in November. We met at the Governor Ames Estate in Easton, Massachusetts to wander around and enjoy the fall foliage. 

The Governor Ames Estate, named after Massachusetts Governor Oliver Ames, boasts a rich legacy that dates back to the 19th century. It’s just one of several conservation areas in Easton, many of which were donated by the Ames family—it’s owned and operated by The Trustees, a preservation and conservation non-profit that manages over 100 properties. 

The estate offers a harmonious blend of historical significance and natural beauty. While the mansion is no longer standing, the carriage house remains, along with sprawling grounds that include gardens, walking trails, and a lake. 

The location was perfect—between the foliage, carriage house, and open fields, we had lots of great backgrounds to work with! Additionally, the colors that the family wore — a gorgeous mix of pink, green, and burgandy—worked super well with the fall colors. We started off with grey skies, but after a little while the sun peeked out and we were treated to that glorious golden-hour glow. 

After a couple of posed photos, I stepped back and let Miss Q call the shots, and she showed us how fun a family shoot can be—we ran up and down hills, watched for airplanes and stomped on leaves. The result was a series of casual, candid moments of park fun.
