Beachside Shenanigans with the St. Pierre Family

Let me set the scene: sun-kissed sand, waves crashing in the background, and a whirlwind of laughter and energy all around—welcome to the St. Pierre family mini-session! I first crossed paths with this delightful bunch three years ago during one of my annual mini-session events, and let me tell you, they are as cute as a button! 

Beach Ready and Wild

Introducing the fabulous four: Dad Paul, Mom Julie, the spirited Matthew (who is 3.5 going on 30), and the adorable Benjamin, who is already stealing hearts at 1.5. As a fellow mom of two little boys, I felt right at home. Honestly, because who wouldn’t feel a kinship when surrounded by such excitement? This particular session was no exception; the beach was their playground, and these boys were in full-on “let’s see how loud we can yell while running wild” mode!

Embracing the Chaos with Love

Picture this: Matthew was dashing around like he was auditioning for the next superhero film, while Benjamin chased after his big brother, taking tumbles like a pro—it was a beautiful chaos! You know, as a parent, your choices are basically to either chase after them until you’re out of breath or just laugh at the pure joy (and mischief) unfolding before you. Thankfully, Julie and Paul chose laughter, and I couldn’t help but join in. Honestly, the hilarity of it all made my morning!

Memories Made to Last

By the end of the session, I was left with a heart full of joy and a camera full of memories. This adorable family once again reminded me of the magic that happens when you let kids be kids. Watching them explore, play, and connect created unforgettable moments that will surely be cherished for years to come. As an experienced Hanover MA family photographer, this session was a dream. So here’s to the St. Pierre family—a reminder of the beauty of chaos, the power of laughter, and the preciousness of family bonds. Until next time, my wild beach boys!

Booking A Hanover MA Family Photographer

Would you like to book Christina Runnals for your own family portraits? Book your session, or find out more about a family session with Christina Runnals Photography!

For your pictures, do keep in mind that you should request your session as soon as possible. I recommend booking at least 6 to 8 months in advance for June, July, August, and September dates, and 4-5 months in advance for October dates. I often have clients book as early as an entire year in advance to make sure they secure a prime spot! Because we live in New England, there are only so many months to take your pictures, right!? (That is… unless you want to be wearing snowsuits in your pictures ;-).

Last-Minute Photo Session Booking

If you’re booking at the last minute and can’t get the date you want, you can first check to see if I have any Beach Piggyback Sessions or Fall Piggyback Sessions available. Another option is that you could request a sunrise session. I can sometimes make time for an early morning session while my children are still sleeping.

Hope to hear from you soon!
