  • Penfield NY Family Photography ~ Susan and Martin

    Debra Wallace

    Penfield NY Family Photography ~ Susan and Martin It’s hard to remember this now, but about six weeks ago it was blistering hot in a delicious pour-water-on-your-head kind of way, because we all knew this kind of rainy cold goodness was just a matter of time. That day when you tear up a little because

  • Brighton Town Park Family Photography ~ Rita & Chris

    Debra Wallace

    Brighton Town Park Family Photography ~ Rita & Chris Rita and Chris recently moved here from the Chicago area to direct the theater programs at Nazareth and Geva respectively.  It’s easy to take for granted how much Rochester has for a small-ish city, but clearly there’s more to the arts scene in Rochester that meets

  • Highland Park Rochester Professional Photographer ~ Westley

    Debra Wallace

    Highland Park Rochester Professional Photographer ~ Westley I first met Jaime and Peter a year ago when they’d just come home from an extended stay in the hospital due to Westley’s premature birth. He was one of the tiniest humans I’d ever seen – perfect in every way and completely proportional but just very small.

  • Lilac Festival Family Photography ~ Jamie & Peter

    Debra Wallace

    Lilac Festival Family Photography ~ Jamie & Peter I remembered the Lilac Festival when I hit a mile long line of cars on my way to meet Jamie and Peter at Highland Park, a park which is one of the Top 5 Locations to Photograph People in Rochester. They’d forgotten about it too, but had the

    Debra Wallace

    Memorial Art Gallery Family Photography ~ Kimberly & Matt Kimberly and Matt both work in marketing – Kimberly is the president of a local firm and Matt works for Wegmans.  When I learned that, I have to confess I was a little tempted to scratch the session and ask them to impart their knowledge on

  • Highland Park Baby Photography ~ William

    Debra Wallace

    Highland Park Baby Photography When Laura and I were setting up the session she was very concerned that it would be too cold.  The weather was predicted to be in the 60s.  When we first met my first questions was, “so, where are you from?” The answer was Georgia. They left the deep south to

  • Penfield NY Family Photos ~ Gary & Wendy

    Debra Wallace

    I connected with Wendy through the Society of Women Engineers – an organization that’s active at the University of Rochester. She works in optics, which is a super challenging field. Her husband took up a completely different profession – he owns Nature’s Accept Landscaping and his property is his canvas. Wendy said that he likes

  • Gates NY Christmas Themed Family Photography ~ Nathan & Lauren

    Debra Wallace

    Gates NY Christmas Themed Family Photography ~ Nathan & Lauren Lauren is amazing for many, many reasons but her secret ninja-style talent is her ability to make things with her hands. For people who are creative and crafty types, they’re oblivious to how awesome this particular thing is. A mutual friend of ours says, “why

    Debra Wallace

    Crossfit Family Photos Webster NY ~ Jane & Keith When Jane first contacted me she said a common thing – that her daughter would be in from out of state and that it would be a rare opportunity for them to have some family photos taken. Family visits are a fantastic time to call in

  • Mendon Ponds Family Photos ~ Dan & Stephanie

    Debra Wallace

    Mendon Ponds Family Photos ~ Dan & Stephanie The quintessential leaf throwing activities of toddlerhood are usually thwarted in climates like ours by cold weather.  This year the summer extended into fall and we had some truly lovely days for photo taking. Dan and Stephanie had never tried out family photos before and wanted to

    Professional Family Christmas Photos Chili NY ~ Andrea & Scott When Scott first contacted me he introduced himself as my neighbor but I wasn’t quite sure I understood him correctly.

  • Tamarack Boardwalk Family Photography ~ Beata & Joe

    Debra Wallace

    Tamarack Boardwalk Family Photography Beata and Joe have been together since they were 14 (or 13?) years old.  I remember this interesting fact from the first time I sat in her apartment when she was my graduate head resident and I was a resident adviser (RA) under her tutelage.  I had just started dating my

    Debra Wallace

    Pillow Fight Themed Family Photography ~ Margaret & Anthony When I walked through the door I walked into Houzz.com.  Margaret and Anthony’s home was magazine ready in every room, including their laundry room where I would have happily moved in for the rest of my life.  Anthony is a plumber who is also apparently quite

  • Three Lakes Pavilion Family Photos ~ Kim & Josh

    Debra Wallace

    Three Lakes Pavilion Family Photos ~ Kim & Josh This Fall was unseasonably warm so late fall sessions were fantastically pleasant (as opposed to last year when our session was about a week earlier and absolutely freezing!). Kim had seen images from last year’s mini sessions and really loved the Three Lakes Pavilion cobblestone background.
