Why Boston?
Boston gives us a little bit of everything: Historic architecture. Charming brownstone streets. Beautiful gardens. Classic New England charm. Colorful city streets. Waterfront views. And those dreamy coastal landscapes that make you feel like you're somewhere completely different. And most importantly? It gives us variety. Instead of spending an entire senior session in one location, we can create an entire collection that feels like several completely different shoots. One moment we're exploring downtown Boston, the next we're surrounded by blooming gardens, and then we're watching the waves roll in beside a classic New England lighthouse. It's timeless, elevated, romantic, and a little adventurous. And it's completely different from a traditional senior session.

worry-free travel Details
Airfare
Your Destination Senior Experience includes a round-trip airfare allowance of up to $500 per traveler. We'll coordinate travel plans and help make sure everyone arrives in Boston around the same time so we can start the experience together. Airfare exceeding the included allowance is the responsibility of the client. Unused airfare allowance is not refundable or transferable and does not have cash value.
Hotel
You won't have to find your own hotel. I'll handle it. You and your parent will stay in one room, at the same selected hotel as the photographer, chosen based on location, availability, safety, and the overall itinerary. Your package includes accommodations budgeted at up to $650/night. The goal is to keep everyone together and close to the action so we're not spending half the trip driving back and forth.
Transport
Once you arrive in Boston, I'll handle the transportation. A rental vehicle will be provided for transportation throughout the scheduled Destination Senior Experience. That means no figuring out rideshares between locations and no worrying about getting from the hotel to your session. Fuel and standard parking are included. Think of me as your photographer and personal chauffeur!
Meals
Food is part of the experience, too. Your package includes a $150 daily dining allowance per traveler for meals included in the scheduled itinerary. We'll choose restaurants that fit the itinerary and Boston experience, while also leaving room for you to experience some of the city's food scene. Personal purchases, snacks, room service, and meals outside the scheduled itinerary are not included.
Who comes?
THE SENIOR + ONE PARENT
This experience is designed for one senior and one parent/guardian. Your parent gets to come along, enjoy Boston with you, and be part of the experience without having to worry about coordinating the trip themselves.
Important Details
Because this is a destination experience, dates and availability are limited.
A FEW THINGS TO KNOW:
Your dates matter. The experience is scheduled around hotel availability, airfare, location availability, photography regulations, and the overall itinerary.
The itinerary may change. Weather, closures, permits, traffic, or circumstances outside of our control may require us to adjust locations or timing.
Travel allowances are not cash credits. Unused airfare, hotel, or dining allowances are not refundable, transferable, or redeemable for cash.
Additional travel costs are the client's responsibility. If airfare or other eligible travel expenses exceed the included allowance, the difference will be paid by the client.
Hotel selection is handled by M.L. Arthur Photography. The hotel will be selected based on availability, location, itinerary, and the included accommodation budget.
This is a photography experience first. While we'll absolutely have time to explore Boston, the itinerary is built around creating an incredible senior gallery.
FAQ
How many days is the experience?
The Boston experience (The New England Collection) is 3 days and 2 nights, with photography taking place throughout the trip.
How long is each photo shoot?
Each photo session will be up to 2 hours!
Do we have to find our own flights/hotel?
Nope. I'll coordinate the travel logistics with you. Your package includes an airfare allowance of up to $500 per traveler, and hotel allowance of up to $650 per night.
I'll select and book the hotel for the experience. We will all stay in the same hotel, to say time!
What if our flight doesn't cost exactly $500/person
The unused portion of the airfare allowance does not become cash or a refund. The allowance is simply the maximum amount included toward your airfare.
You're welcome to choose a more expensive flight, but the amount over the $500 included allowance would be your responsibility.
