Sarah Freel Photography bio picture

Welcome

Welcome to the Sarah Freel Photography Blog. I am a photographer located in Braintree, Massachusetts. Offering both on location and (soon) studio sessions. I have always loved working with young children. I have many years of experience teaching and hold a degree in Early Childhood Education. I have this love of working with children and mingled it with my love of photography. It's the perfect balance! Who can say they have found their dream job? I certainly can! So please, pull up a chair, and poor yourself a warm (or cool!) beverage and enjoy the many beautiful images I have captured and shared with you all here. I'll sneak in a special or two here and there. Maybe even a bit about me and my beautiful family. Enjoy!

Two sweet ones

I photographed this sweet little girl about a year and a half ago when she turned one.  She now has a baby brother who is just as sweet as she is!  I always love seeing how much children grow between sessions.  I love this little girls personality.  So many times I had to stop taking pictures because she had me laughing that much!  I just adore photographing toddlers, they are becoming their own little person and it’s so much fun to watch!

Here are a few for now:

For Grandma

Shanya and her brother’s Rocco and Jake have never been professionally photographed together.  Their sweet Grandma in Ireland has been asking for a photograph of all of them together for years.  This year we’ll make her wish come true!  A wonderful surprise Christmas gift for her that I’m sure she’ll cherish!

Lily and her brothers

We photographed Lily and her brothers last weekend.  One of the brothers had a broken leg and I wanted to be sure he was as comfortable as he could be.  He did a great job (I never thought he’s make up the stairs to my home!)!  What a beautiful family!

and one of Lily with another neighbor Shayna

My little ones!

I don’t share them often enough…or should I say I don’t photograph them often enough!  My children, Meghan and Stephen.  It was time for the annual holiday portraits, to be given as gifts to my family.

Stephen tends to be very silly in front of the camera.  Actually he couldn’t stop giggling the entire time.  I love this little boy!  Meghan is sweet and loves the camera.  She had her ideas for all sorts of poses.

The group shot is the photo to be shared with family.  The others are just for fun, or for me!

Holiday Mini Sessions - The Last Hurrah!

Here it is…the last of the holiday sessions.  Not only are the children beautiful (as they all are on this street…there must be something in the water!) but look at Jake, their sweet puppy!  Picture perfect ;)

thanks to all of my friends/neighbors that gave me the fun opportunity to photograph all of their beautiful children (and pups!)!   I wish you all a safe and happy holidays!

Holiday Mini Sessions…part three

I could have photographed her all day…

I usually don’t tint photos, but this one was just calling for it:

Lena…you’re next!

Holiday Mini Sessions - Take Two!

More from the previous post :)

I know that he’s making a silly face…but these other two look so darn cute that I couldn’t not show this one.

Up next:  Cathy!

Holiday Mini Sessions

As a gift to all of my neighbors I offered complimentary mini sessions for their children this past weekend.

I had such a great time!  It was fun to photograph all of the cuties that I have come to know over the past 8 years that I have lived on this terrific street!

I am still in the process of editing but as I have them ready I will post.  Jenn, your are the first!  Enjoy!

Rahila, you are next!

A little ray of sunshine

Sweet little Sebastian has got to be the cutest little boy ever.  Those lashes, I just couldn’t stop commenting on how amazing they were!

Over two years ago I photographed Sebastian’s Mommy and Daddy’s wedding in Mystic CT on 7/7/7 (lucky 7’s!).  I was beyond thrilled to have the opportunity to not only meet but photograph their darling little boy!

I arrived to their home and was so sad to hear that little S was under the weather…he had just woken from his nap with a fever and just wasn’t himself.  We decided to go forward with the session and see how he does.  I’m quite pleased with how the photographs come out.

Dad had mentioned that S is such a little ray of sunshine all the time…smiling all the time and such a happy little boy!

This is Peter

This past weekend, on Halloween, I photographed this cute little guy!  Peter is 9 months old and very active!
Dad mentioned he climbed the stairs the other day and I don’t doubt it for a moment.  Speaking of Dad, I must say thanks for all of his help during the session moving furniture, dumping out toy boxes (which made a great prop…or container to hold Peter still for a few moments!).  Kidding aside, Peter was such a sweet little boy and I really enjoyed meeting this wonderful family!

Here are some of my favorites from the session.
