  • Canandaigua Family Photography ~ Greg and Sonya

    Debra Wallace

    Canandaigua Family Photography ~ Greg and Sonya Greg and Sonya chose to have their session on their 80 acres of property in Canandaigua. It was the kind of place where you drive down the driveway and are transported to somewhere else entirely.  It’s their very own nature preserve with trails, a pond, and stunning landscaping.

  • Genesee Valley Park Professional photography ~ Krista and Brian

    Debra Wallace

    Genesee Valley Park Professional photography ~ Krista and Brian Krista decided to have family photos taken because it had been a very long time since they’d all had them done and they wanted to update their walls and provide some photographic love for the grandparents. We met at Genesee Valley Park on a beautiful fall

  • Brighton NY Professional Pet Photography ~ Jo & Chris

    Debra Wallace

    Brighton NY Professional Pet Photography ~ Jo & Chris There are babies, and then there are fur babies. We take photos to remember the past which is especially important when we’re separated from someone we love. Jo and Chris decided to have family photos taken because their beloved dog Mana was diagnosed with bone cancer

  • 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

  • Geneseo Puppy Photography ~ Kendall & Eddie

    Debra Wallace

    Geneseo Puppy Photography ~ Kendall & Eddie When my kids ask for pets I tell them, “we have kids, not pets.”  A person can only be stretched so far.  But Kristen had a pretty ingenious setup – the kids gave the puppies to grandma and grandpa for Christmas, so they have a puppy-aunt and puppy-uncle

  • Corbett’s Glen Family Portraits ~ Christina & Brian

    Debra Wallace

    Christina and Brian were originally scheduled for the Tamarack Swamp Mini Sessions, but then one of the girls was invited to go on a camping trip. She was ready to say no for the family photo session but life is short and photo sessions are made to be rescheduled! So we ended up in Corbett’s

  • Conesus, NY Family Portrait Photography ~ Sarah and Josh at the Farm

    Debra Wallace

    I have a vivid memory of Sarah on speaker phone saying, “Debra will deliver the baby, you just need to catch it.”  She was talking to my husband.  I was about to give birth.  My faulty directions meant my husband caught the baby. Sarah is a midwife who’s been serving women in Rochester for quite

  • 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

  • Frequent Flyers ~ Abbie and Averie

    Debra Wallace

    They were laughing and playing and running around and hiding.  The energy was palpable.  Even the bribe of chocolate didn’t go too far, but the facial expressions were outstanding anyway.  There may have been some concern on the parental end that we wouldn’t end up with any wall-worthy portraits, but the awesome thing about photography

  • 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 Candid Child Photography ~ Ansley and Luke

    Debra Wallace

    One of the first photographers whose work I fell in love with doesn’t photograph children.  It took me a while to realize that part of the reason his images looked so technically perfect *all the time* was because he was working with adults.  Kids are a completely different ball game.  Sometimes – no all the
