The entire family gathered from the four corners of the US to celebrate Grandma and Grandpa’s 50th wedding anniversary. I don’t know how surprised they were by the party that ensued, but I’m sure that just having everyone in the same geographic location made them feel like successful parents. They chose Charlotte Beach because they are

Newborn Safety Rochester NY
I was one of those naive people that saw babies hanging from things and thought that’s how they were actually photographed. It wasn’t until later that I realized that an overwhelming number of newborn images rely heavily on photoshop, digital manipulation, and for lack of a better term, optical illusions. It’s something that you really

Chili NY Senior Portrait Photography ~ Matthew
Matt is entering his senior year at McQuaid, loves theater and is planning to be a doctor. According to his mom, practicing medicine has been on his mind for a long time. He didn’t mention the medical thing to me, but was adamant about doing some photos in a theater (more on that later). We

Genesee Valley Park Baby Photography ~ Valerie & Aaron
I didn’t know Valerie’s vocation ahead of time, but I guessed that she and Aaron were doctors because of a statement she made about coordinating their schedules. It turns out they’re both in emergency medicine, which means that you couldn’t help but feel calm in their presence. I’m pretty sure I ended up oversharing. If

Canandaigua NY Senior Portrait Photography ~ David
Robynlyn and her family don’t live in Canandaigua but have spent a lot of time there over the years and wanted to take advantage of the scenery there for David’s senior portraits. It’s worth driving a little extra to be in a spot that is meaningful to you. Seniors have a wide range of perfectly

University of Rochester Family Portrait Photography ~ Danielle and Alan
Danielle told me over the phone that Mira is always doing cart wheels and it took about 30 seconds for her to start tumbling down the quad on the University of Rochester campus. We were fortunate with some unusually warm April weather for their Univeristy of Rochester family portrait photography session. Danielle said that she

Penfield NY Newborn Portraits ~ Mia, 9 days old
Newborn sessions tend to run long, but who cares about time when you’re hanging out with people like Sue and Martín? Sue not only graces the pages of Beautiful Birth Choices where she teaches yoga and is a doula, but has also lived all over the world and does consulting work for NGOs. Her post

Fairport NY Newborn and family photography ~ Kyle and Julie
Julie and Kyle recently relocated from Georgia and are excited to be away from the heat living somewhere with seasons. Undeterred by our very opposite weather they bought a beautiful house in a hilly community in Fairport (with a neighborhood pool and playground I was lusting after) which they hopefully won’t have to shovel too

Mendon Ponds Sibling Photography ~ Trevor & Kevin
Danielle, Larry, Trevor, Kevin and I go way back and I was saddened to learn that they were going to move back to Colorado. Danielle swore she’d be back for photos but I have to confess I didn’t really think it would happen. To my surprise, she not only came back for a visit but

Churchville NY Family Portraits ~ Alan and Cheryl
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

Memorial Art Gallery Family Portraits ~ Andy and Betsy
Andy and Betsy first had their maternity portraits taken on their babymoon retreat to Naples, NY. It was quiet and peaceful crunching through the snow to capture Betsy’s beautiful belly. To view the rest of their maternity session, click here. A few months later, baby TJ made his entrance into the world and we met

Aurora Inn Extended Family Portraits ~ Dana & Ryan
Dana who lives in Ithaca, loves to gift portrait sessions, which is so generous! A year ago she gifted a portrait session to Ryan’s sister and brother-in-law who happen to live in Rochester. This year, the gift went to grandma who just turned 94 (congratulations grandma!). I love their outfits – they have traditional white,

Pittsford NY Professional Headshots ~ Dr. Lesley James
Dr. James’ mission is to enrich conventional medical practice with a natural approach to prevention and healing in one holistic practice. It was important to her that images of her staff feature everyone in a natural setting that fit the culture of her practice. Dr. James has an expansive garden in her back yard and

Genesee Valley Park Senior Portraits ~ Heather
I’m not sure if the moms became friends first or the daughters, but this session was a party at Genesee Valley Park with Heather’s mom, Megan and her mom, and Megan’s sister who tagged along with an injured foot. We started out in Genesee Valley Park and were there as the sun was setting which

In Home Baby Portraits Geneva NY ~ Lindsey & Nick
Lindsey’s sister gave her the gift of newborn portraits when she was pregnant. I’m biased but I think it’s a great gift! We met at their home for their baby portraits Geneva NY. Lindsey and Nick welcomed their healthy baby boy Harlon into the world on his due date. When I got to their home,
