Cheryl’s kids ran out the door to offer to help me bring in equipment and crowded around to play with my oinky pig. She seemed to think they were being rowdy but the liveliness of their home was lovely. They previously had family portraits done when their oldest son graduated from high school (a huge

Turning Point Park Family Portraits ~ Kim and Josh
Kim took a big risk – she’s more of a traditional J.C. Penney’s portrait kind of person. Studio portraits line her stairwell. I think in this case she gave in to a little peer pressure from her friend Nella who disagrees with studios. We met at Turning Point Park in Irondequoit, which is located on the

Playful Family Portraits ~ Becky and Steve
Becky volunteered to pose for a blog post series I did earlier this year on How to Look Better in Photos. After we were done with the images that showed a progression from okay to great, her kids and husband jumped in for some playful family portraits. Steve was almost not able to lift Nathan,

Family Farm Portraits in Victor NY ~ Jamie & Michael
Jamie and Michael received this portrait session as a gift last Christmas and in the midst of some beautiful weather, we managed to pick a cold and rainy day. It might as well have been 70 and sunny though – these guys were unfazed! We managed this image when it started to rain harder and

Genesee Valley Park Mini Sessions ~ Monica and Heath
Have you ever had the experience of knowing someone and not remembering how you met? Monica and I go way back, but I can’t quite remember how we first crossed paths. Her pregnant belly with Solomon graces the waiting room of Welcome Home Midwifery. She was also one of four ambitious women who launched Listen

Brighton Park Family Photography ~ Kim and Adonis
Adonis wins husband of the month award by skipping out of the Buffalo Bills kick off to come to this year’s mini sessions, which were held at Brighton Park on Westfall Road. I learned this year that Kim is an excellent gift giver. She found these magical baby socks that somehow never fall off and

Brighton Park Family Portraits ~ Geoffrey & Alethea
Alethea is a sign language interpreter by day, and a clothing coordinator ninja in the fall. She has put together some very impressive outfits for her family – click here for last year’s ensemble and here for 2013. This year she was a little disappointed in some inaccurate color representations on the shirts she had

Greece NY Family Portrait Photography ~ Nicole & Jerimie
Nicole contacted me in November because she wanted to surprise her in-laws with family portrait photography for Christmas. They envisioned a session in her in-laws back yard because she loves her garden so we planned for late summer. They had a shed everyone agreed was a nice backdrop. They also coordinated their clothing really nicely

Genesee Country Village and Museum Family Photography
Cheryl and Alan picked the Genesee Country Village and Museum Nature Center (which I didn’t know existed!) for their portrait session. Their oldest son Bryan made benches and tables for the center for his Eagle Scout project, and their second son was doing a similar project so it was a beautiful location that was also

Taughannock Falls Family Photography ~ Ashleigh & Raymond
Ashleigh and Raymond were visiting Ithaca as part of an informal Cornell reunion weekend. Ashleigh’s neighbor from the DC area (who’s a photographer) suggested that they get some Ithaca-themed family photos while they were in the area. Taughannock Falls State Park (pronounced Tah-gan-uck) is one of our family’s personal favorites for the very flat trail

Highland Park Baby and Family Portraits ~ Katie & Todd
Katie and Todd had wedding photos taken under this tree at Highland Park, so they wanted to return there for their family portraits. It was one of those days when it wasn’t clear if it would rain, but it held off for us. Somehow I’ve managed to live in Rochester for 15 years without ever

Memorial Art Gallery Family Photography ~ Danielle and Larry
Danielle wrote this on her Google Review: “When Debra comes over for a photography session, it feels like having a friend over that I don’t get to see often enough. My toddler loves her (and invited her to stay for dinner last time) and my baby smiles at her easily. The sessions are professional, fun, and

Corbett’s Glen Winter Family Portraits Brighton, NY ~ Kristine & Ken
Most dads get a little bit grumpy during family portraits – especially winter family portraits, but Ken was very nearly puddle jumping across an icy Allen’s Creek and throwing his four year old in the air in the name of family photos. On Super Bowl Sunday too – he should give lessons! It turns out that

Memorial Art Gallery Family Photography ~ Melissa and Michael
Patrick was in town for a brief period of time and so we had a narrow window of opportunity to take family photos. Of course, the weather was nasty which meant we had to go inside. Fortunately, the Memorial Art Gallery is actually a pretty amazing indoor location. The atrium has a beautiful glass ceiling and
