in Sudbury MA
Stuart Beeby Photography specializes in family portraits in Sudbury, MA, and throughout the Greater Boston area. Our boutique family sessions are carefully tailored to each family’s needs, with experience photographing families of all sizes and ages—from young children to high school seniors and multi-generational groups. From planning and photography through to how your images will ultimately live in your home, every session is designed with intention. We don’t simply create photographs—we design each session with the finished artwork in mind, whether that’s a handcrafted album or a statement wall portrait ready to be enjoyed for years to come.
“Stuart Beeby did an amazing job with our Mother’s Day photo session. He was able to get the teenage boys and dog to smile and look cool in all the photos ! Great job Stuart !!”
A Full-Service Family Portrait Experience
I’ve had years of experience working with Sudbury families of all sizes, from a young family of three to large, extended, multi-generational family groups.
Every family portrait session is thoughtfully planned from start to finish. From your initial consultation through to selecting the right colors, materials, and finishes for your artwork, you’ll be guided every step of the way. Using professional design software, you’ll also see a realistic preview of your portraits displayed in your home—making it easy to choose the perfect size and presentation with confidence.
My family photography sessions include:
Pre-session planning and guidance
In-home or outdoor portrait sessions in Sudbury, MA
Professional posing and direction for families of any size
Carefully edited, high-quality images
In-person image reveal at the studio on the big screen
Choice of Custom wall art, albums, and fine art framed prints to order at your image reveal appointment
Whether you’re marking a milestone or simply want to preserve this stage of life, I design each session around your family. If you have a High School Senior, many families combine their High School Senior’s photo session with a Family group session.

What makes you different?
3
I’ve worked with litterally hundreds of families of all sizes in and around Sudbury, in every popular locations, in-home, in studio, and during all seasons. But aside from my experience with family photography, unlike most photographers, I provide an end-to-end service and personalised experience. The photos from your session will be carefully edited before you see them. Then at your ordering appointment, you’ll see a beautifully curated set of images that capture the spirit and character of your family. I’ve seen many tears of joy during image reveals!
Do you offer Digital Files with your Family Sessions?
4
Yes! We offer a wide range of beautiful wall portrait products, gift prints, and customized family albums. The images you order for printing through our studio include the digital copy. I also offer digital-only packages if you prefer to self-print.
How do you work with large, extended family groups?
5
I have extensive experience photographing large family groups. We start by capturing everyone together, then move into smaller groupings—grandparents with grandchildren, cousins, siblings, all adults, and all children. Finally, we photograph each immediate family individually, ensuring every combination is beautifully documented while keeping the session relaxed and fun.
Can we include our dog/s? in our family session?
6
Absolutely! Dogs (and other pets) are part of the family, and my playful “woofs” and “barks” to get them to look at the camera always get a laugh. Including your dog is a fun way to keep everyone relaxed, smiling, and enjoying the session.
Can we combine a family session with a high school senior session?
7
Yes! Combining a High School Senior Session with other family members is a very popular choice among many families in Sudbury. Check out our High School Senior page for details
What happens if the weather isn’t great on the day of our family session?
8
New England weather can be unpredictable, so we always recommend having a “rain date” to reschedule if needed. If your schedule only allows one day—maybe your family is visiting from out of town—we can easily move the session indoors, either in our studio or in your home. Either way, we’ll make sure your portraits are beautiful, and the experience stays relaxed and enjoyable.
If you have more questions, I’d love to help!

“We could not have been happier with how our family photos turned out. Stuart has a great and natural talent for finding a great moment to capture. Absolutely recommend”
“Stuart Beeby is a joy to work with. He came to our home on Christmas eve to photograph our large family of 24! He went above and beyond getting great photos of the whole gang as well as each of the six families. My mom treasures the shot of her with the 10 grandkids and has it prominently hung in her home. Stuart is very creative and lots of fun. Highly recommend!”
