Images of Hingham Children To Be Featured Across America

One Hingham photographer is receiving national focus.

Often described as quintessential New England, Hingham is perfectly picturesque – especially in the fall. There’s a chill in the air and the leaves are starting to turn. Winter is right around the corner; for many Hinghamites that means deciding on the perfect holiday card to send out to family and friends.

While Internet provides a myriad of options for card choices, for those who choose to go a more traditional route you may recognize a few Hingham children in this year’s new William Arthur catalogue. The New England-based company, in business for more than 60 years, selected images taken by local film photographer Alyssa Fortin as samples for their Holiday Photo Card album.

Fortin was approached by the luxury stationery brand in February after one of their dealers visited a store in downtown Hingham that was collaborating with Fortin’s work. “They thought my photo of two girls and two puppies was wonderful,” said Fortin. The lead designer only requested one image at first, but after seeing more of Fortin’s work several photos were selected as samples for the new album.

Fortin’s information, including a mention of Hingham, will be included on William Arthurs’ official list of photographers. The list is printed on the order information page in the album is sent out to stationery and event stores, and distributors all over the county. The customer service department will also be available to provide photographer information to anyone who calls the company.

“It’s great exposure,” said Fortin. When asked to elaborate she humbly added, “William Arthur makes beautiful stationery and I’m flattered they included my work to make it picture perfect.”
