    Debra Wallace

  • 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 Newborn Photography ~ Eli, 8 days old

    Debra Wallace

    I have to say the worst pictures I take are of my kids.  I absolutely love my camera (and my lights!) but my standards for other people and my standards for my family… let’s just say they’re not the same.  I think it’s usually because I’m too busy being their mom, or maybe just enjoying

  • Rochester, NY Newborn Photography ~ Story KaraMia, 5 days old

    Debra Wallace

    Kara and I have the same midwife and both are in love with home birth so we had something in common right from the beginning.  She was really excited about maternity photos and then I was absolutely blessed with the opportunity to meet their beautiful baby. The miracle of new life never grows old.  She

  • Rochester NY Newborn Photography ~ A Home Birth Story

    Debra Wallace

    When you’re super pregnant and people ask where you’re going to deliver, “home” is usually the last thing they expect you to say.  You can almost see the wheels turning, “You mean, on purpose?” My husband Jason and I are pretty scientifically minded – I tease him that half his PhD is mine.  We did

  • 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

    Kara and Robert are expecting their first baby any day now and I am so incredibly excited to meet this little one!  They were so much fun to work with – full of ideas and excitement.  I absolutely love working with first time parents because they remind me of the magic of pregnancy.  It’s definitely

  • Ithaca NY Newborn Photography ~ Della 10 days old

    Debra Wallace

    Sarah and Travis received a newborn session as a baby shower gift from a good friend – what a perfect shower gift!  Their family was an absolute joy to work with and Della was just absolutely stunning.  She even had especially nice skin for a newborn.  Sarah has an extremely unusual job – leave a

  • 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

  • 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.

  • Fairport, NY One Year Old Photography ~ Sarah and Sam

    Debra Wallace

    I first met Sam and Sarah when she was pregnant with Elliot and then got to meet him as a newborn who wasn’t too interested in sleeping for his newborn pictures. I felt so fortunate to see him all grown up as a one year old – he’s so sweet! We had to reschedule a

  • Rochester, NY Maternity Photography ~ Samantha

    Debra Wallace

    I was working on a project and desperately needed a pregnant woman.  Sam was absolutely wonderful and agreed to help me out even though she was not feeling super attractive (I wish I looked this good when I’m pregnant!!!).  I am so grateful for her help and her beautiful daughters were so wonderful and happy

  • One Year Old – Trevor’s Portraits at Highland Park

    Debra Wallace

    The occasion for these photos was Trevor turning one year old.  He was premature so this was even more special than normal – celebrating health, life and not being in the NICU! It was a beautiful day in Highland Park and Danielle and Larry came equipped with a bag full of toys and a truck

  • Rochester, NY Newborn Photography ~ Amelia

    Debra Wallace

    Amelia was absolutely stunning and not sleepy at all!  I think most of these images were actually taken while she was blinking.  She was so incredibly sweet and beautiful.  These pictures are also a great example of how little space you need in your house to make some great images.  One colored wall and a

  • Henrietta, NY Christmas Family Photography ~ Donna & Eryl

    Debra Wallace

    The last time Donna and Eryl had their photos taken professionally was 10 years ago.  She told me that they all hate having their photos taken, but I have to say that they appeared to be having a great time.  Their family has an awesome sense of humor and I was laughing pretty hard too.
