Old Manse Concord Fall Family Photos | Courtney

If you're looking for a dreamy location for family photos, the Old Manse in Concord, MA, is absolutely magical—especially in the fall! Recently, I had the joy of capturing a sweet family session here with two adorable young kids. The historic charm of the Old Manse combined with the vibrant autumn foliage made for a picture-perfect backdrop.

The session was filled with so many heartfelt moments. The little ones brought boundless energy and genuine giggles. Whether they were running through the apple field or cuddling up with Mom and Dad next to a stone wall, every shot felt straight out of a storybook.

As a family photographer, I always encourage parents to let kids be themselves during sessions. Those unscripted moments—like big brother’s fascination with the apple trees and little sister playing with the grass—are what truly make each session unique. At the Old Manse, the natural setting allowed the kids to roam and play freely, creating authentic, joy-filled images that perfectly captured this stage in their family’s life.

If you’re considering family photos at the Old Manse, I highly recommend scheduling your session in late September or early October to catch the peak foliage. It’s also a great opportunity to connect with Concord’s rich history while creating memories you’ll treasure forever.
