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

Outdoor Newborn Portrait Photography ~ Sabrina, 15 Days Old
Meet Sabrina, 15 days old. Husna is a very close friend of mine from college and we weren’t sure we’d end up connecting for Sabrina’s newborn session. She lives in Syracuse, I live in Rochester but was in Ithaca, and so she made the trek out to Mia’s Lakehouse for the newborn session. I was

Conesus Lake Extended Family Portrait Photography ~ Megan & Jeff
Megan googled Conesus photography and came across the blog posts on sleeve length in photos and was inspired to schedule a family portrait session during her extended family’s vacation on Conesus Lake. This is a more “modern” posing set up with different groups. The best part of this setup is that it’s easy on the

Newborn Photography Ithaca NY ~ Grayson 16 days old
If you read up on newborn photography there are specific rules – the session is supposed to happen before they are 10 days old, they’re supposed to be sleeping, etc. etc. Grayson proved them wrong. He was an incredibly sleepy 16 day old and was a rock star during his portrait session. It also turned

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

Canandaigua Extended Family Portraits ~ Kathleen’s Mom Turns 100!
Kathleen’s mom was turning 100 years old and all of her children and their families were scheduled to come to her beautiful home on Canandaigua Lake for the weekend. We commandeered the neighbor’s dock for the portraits since they weren’t home – thanks neighbors!!! They had a beautiful dock and a perfect background for lake-style

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

In Home Newborn Portraits Pittsford NY ~ TJ 9 days old
Sitting in a room with Andy and Betsy is like getting a massage. They are two of the calmest people I’ve ever had the pleasure to know. Even as first time parents they exuded calmness. Baby pee? No problem. Baby poo? Grab a wipe. There was not a dish in the sink and their house

Lamberton Conservatory Baby Photography Rochester, NY
Laurette was eager to have 8 month baby portraits taken of her beautiful daughter, Amorette. It was February so for an outside look we went to Lamberton Conservatory at Highland Park. Laurette and Amorette spent a lot of time exploring the different plants, looking at the turtles, and examining (and perhaps munching on) the flowers. She

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

Naples, NY Winter Maternity Portraits ~ Andy & Betsy
Andy and Betsy are from Rochester, but had the brilliant idea of having winter maternity portraits taken during their weekend Baby Moon in Naples, NY. They’d rented a cabin in the woods where there was a fire in the fireplace, fresh snow, coffee, blue jays, and lots of quiet. They said that it was really

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

3 Lakes Pavilion Family Photography Durand Eastman Park
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,
