Local Photographer Named Finalist for 'Best Portrait' Category in Boston A-List

Arlington, MA -- Local resident Mira Whiting has been named a finalist for the 'Best Portrait Photography' category for the Boston A-List, a website that hosts contests to determine the best businesses in the Boston area. She is ranked 5th out of the 24 finalists.

Commenters on Whiting's portraits left glowing reviews of her work.

"Beautiful fractions of time that tell a much longer story of each person and family," said Fletcher W.

Desiree D. added that "Mira is talented, thoughtful, and compassionate, you will love her and cherish her work forever."

On her website, Whiting shares some of the reasons why she enjoys her work:

"I love photographing all sorts of people, and capturing their special moments. There’s so much variety of human experience, and I love it — so much hopeful anticipation involved in engagement and maternity sessions, so much wonder with a newborn session, and amazement when I then get to go back and do a whole series of “baby’s first year” sessions and watch that baby learn and grow. Every family’s interactions are wonderfully individual, and each family session is likewise unique."

She told Patch that, regarding the award, she was "completely honored and pleased to have the support of her clients, friends, and family."

Though Mira Whiting Photography is a young business (it's only been around since November of 2014) it will now be known throughout the Boston area. It will also be known that Arlington is home to one of the area's leading portrait photographers.
