When autumn rolls around in New England, there’s no place more magical for family photos than the historic Wayside Inn Grist Mill in Sudbury, MA. I had the joy of photographing this sweet family of four during peak foliage season, and their session was everything I love about fall photography, warm light, colorful leaves, and genuine smiles.
Why Choose Wayside Inn Grist Mill for Family Photos?
The Wayside Inn Grist Mill is one of the most iconic spots in MetroWest Massachusetts. With its rustic stone mill, surrounding woods, and trails lined with golden leaves, it provides a picture-perfect backdrop that feels timeless and natural. Families love it because it’s not only beautiful, but also offers space for kids to explore and relax during their session.
A Relaxed and Candid Session
This family wanted a mix of posed portraits and candid moments. We spent our time walking along the wooded paths, soaking in the golden sunlight, and capturing real connections. I love how the younger brother snuggled into his mom, while the older brother leaned casually next to his dad. The mix of playful energy and heartfelt connection made this session shine.
