  • 3 Lakes Pavilion Family Photography Durand Eastman Park

    Debra Wallace

    Abbie and Averie recently participated in mini sessions at 3 Lakes Pavilion, which has a castle-like cobble stone wall which is a great backdrop provided that you don’t roll down the hill.  The steps nearby are also a great spot for family portraits. If you’re interested in being notified of mini sessions in the future,

  • 3 Lakes Pavilion Family Portraits

    Debra Wallace

    I’d seen family photos of Will before but didn’t realize that not smiling was his personal policy!  However, a few times I think his kids laughter at my oinky pig won out. Sara and her family participated in this year’s mini sessions, which were held at 3 Lakes Pavilion in Durand Eastman Park.  It was

  • Corbett’s Glen Family Photography Brighton

    Debra Wallace

    Corbett’s Glen Nature Park in Brighton, NY is a place that you can trip over photographers, but for good reason.  There are waterfalls, flat nature trails, and of course, the iconic tunnel. This makes me want to go on a date with my husband! Simon would not smile for my oinky pig or imaginary spider

  • Gro-Moore Farm Family Photography Henrietta, NY

    Debra Wallace

    When you choose a location for your portraits it’s not always certain that you won’t get kicked out of a place, so it’s usually a good idea to check first.  The wonderful people at Gro-Moore Farms were incredibly gracious in allowing us to sit on their pumpkins.  Because the background is 50% of a photo,

  • Highland Park Family Photography ~ Victoria & Paul

    Debra Wallace

    Victoria has a 5 year old who is always dressed like she walked out of a Land’s End catalog – beautiful dresses, matching hair ties, tights, shoes, etc.  It’s enough to make a mom of 90% boys a little envious.  Not surprisingly, they had a great clothing theme going for their session.  They used black

    Bainbridge Island ~ Tara and Jeremy Family Photography

    Debra Wallace

    Amazon may be my favorite company… that is until they recruited the husband of one of my closest friends and enticed them to move across the country.  Not to be deterred, we crashed their place for five days which ended up as an incredible family vacation including a stay on a horse farm, a visit

  • Chili NY Sibling Candid Family and Child Photography ~ Tanya’s Surprise

    Debra Wallace

    If you’ve ever tried to buy a gift for an adult, you know it can be challenging to find a gift that is something they couldn’t get on their own.  Tanya went through quite the scheduling gymnastics to arrange portraits at a time her husband wouldn’t find out so that she could surprise him, which

  • Lisa and Brad ~ Henrietta, NY Candid Family Portrait Photography

    Debra Wallace

    I don’t know if Lisa had a gender preference as she was awaiting the birth of her children, but I know I totally did.  I definitely wanted girls – and more than one.  And each time I got a boy I was tempted to feel disappointed.  But, I learned that a group of wrestling boys

  • Bonnie & John ~ Webster, NY Christmas Portraits

    Debra Wallace

    If you’re from around here you know that not all snow is pretty, but after sliding to their house I loosened my grip on the steering wheel and realized it was a pretty snow day.  After saying hello, I may have said something like, “Outside portraits would be awesome!!!”  They braved the weather for me,

  • Nicole ~ Winter Outdoor Portraits in Scottsville, NY

    Debra Wallace

    “And whatever you do, don’t put plastic on your pillows or mattresses.”  Nicole was the foster parent trainer in our foster parent class and I wanted to be her.  “They’re not foster kids – they’re kids who happen to be in foster care.” When Jason and I signed up for the training class, this is

  • Liz & Bernie ~ Brighton, NY Candid Outdoor Family Photography

    Debra Wallace

    You know those weeks when the water line from your house starts leaking into your driveway and the City of Rochester says it’s your $1200 responsibility to get it fixed.  You call a plumber who tells you to call another plumber, who tells you to call a water line guy (??).  Perplexed as you’re trying

  • Fall Family Portrait Photography Rochester NY ~ Noah & Husna

    Debra Wallace

    It’s challenging to fit all of your belongings into two square feet of college dorm bedroom space, but somehow we managed to make it work.  I was scared, but unwilling to admit it, and Husna was one of the first friendly faces I encountered my freshman year at the University of Rochester.  She also happened

  • Fall Mini Sessions Sneak Peak ~ Rochester, NY Family Photography

    Debra Wallace

    Overheard in Tinker Park this afternoon, “Husna and I have never been within three feet of each other.”  I’m still giggling. I guess that’s what I get when I overuse the line, “pretend like you love each other.”  I bet Noah banters with waitresses too. You may remember Simon and Zach from this post.  I

  • Rochester, NY Toddler Photography ~ Trevor

    Debra Wallace

    You may remember this cute little guy from his one year old photos.  Danielle and Larry’s enthusiasm is amazing and I thoroughly enjoy working with them.  They make it so easy to get great facial expressions and Trevor is such a cute little guy!  He’s going to be a big brother very shortly – super

  • Rochester, NY Family Photography ~ Steve & Sarah

    Debra Wallace

    When I walked in the door Sarah had this great list of ideas she wanted to try during the photo shoot.  This was an idea she got from Pinterest.  Luke had his own opinion but we did manage to catch this shot – he is so incredibly cute!   Animal shots, are very, very challenging.
