This fall, we’re celebrating the timeless beauty of Downtown Boston’s Greenway—and the vibrant connections between generations that make it so special.

We’re looking for intergenerational families to be part of a joyful photo shoot in and around The Greenway, showcasing scenes of everyday beauty: grandparents reading with grandkids in garden nooks, families strolling along lush pathways, enjoying time together on park benches, and soaking in all the magic this public space has to offer.

Whether you’re part of a big extended family, a grandparent-grandchild duo, or a unique family group with a special bond, we want to hear from you!

Who We’re Looking For:

• Intergenerational families of all kinds — think:
  
  • Grandparents & grandchildren
    
  • Great-grandparents with great-grandkids
    
  • Parents, aunts, uncles, with the kids they love
    
  • Any combination that celebrates love and family connection across generations
    
• All racial identities, gender expressions, and body types
  
• Individuals with visible or invisible disabilities
  
• Neurodiverse individuals and siblings welcome
  
• LGBTQ+ families, blended families, single-parent families — all family structures celebrated!
  

We want to showcase the real beauty of Boston’s community—diverse, dynamic, and deeply connected.
