  • Genesee Valley Park and Sunken Garden Senior Portraits ~ Megan

    Debra Wallace

    Megan and Heather decided to do their senior portraits together, which was hopefully more fun for them than doing them separately! Going with a friend is a great idea if the idea of senior portraits doesn’t excite you. Heather’s mom, Nicole, and I go way back, and Heather (blog post to come) is her third

  • Professional Headshots in Nature ~ Leah

    Debra Wallace

    It used to be that professional headshots were always taken in studios with suits and backdrops, but it’s been fun to see the tide shift to portraits that still have a professional feel but are more creative. I first met Leah because she was a reader in Rochester’s first ever production of Listen to Your

  • Twin Newborn Photography in Brighton, NY ~ Jex and Louie

    Debra Wallace

    Before this session I was concerned about being able to tell Jex and Louie apart. Jex was dubbed the rock star since he has rock star hair, a rock star name, and was a rock star newborn model. Usually this pose is a composite, but he actually slept like this for about 15 minutes. Their

  • Large Group Portraits in Webster, NY ~ Marty and Maureen

    Debra Wallace

    When I pulled up to their house I was inclined to pitch a tent. Marty and Maureen’s entire family including their four children, eleven grandkids (one was at work), everyone’s spouses and the first grandchild (in utero) were camping out for the week at Marty’s house. Literally. There were campers and tents and tables with

  • Turning Point Park Family Portraits ~ Kim and Josh

    Debra Wallace

    Kim took a big risk – she’s more of a traditional J.C. Penney’s portrait kind of person.  Studio portraits line her stairwell.  I think in this case she gave in to a little peer pressure from her friend Nella who disagrees with studios. We met at Turning Point Park in Irondequoit, which is located on the

  • Playful Family Portraits ~ Becky and Steve

    Debra Wallace

    Becky volunteered to pose for a blog post series I did earlier this year on How to Look Better in Photos. After we were done with the images that showed a progression from okay to great, her kids and husband jumped in for some playful family portraits. Steve was almost not able to lift Nathan,

  • Penfield NY Birthday Photography ~ Cora’s First Birthday Party

    Debra Wallace

    Katie and Todd decorated Penfield’s Harris Whalen Lodge with owls and forest creatures to celebrate Cora’s first birthday. The place was packed with people loving on Cora, who was happily oblivious to being the cause for celebration as she toddled away from the toys and toward the more interesting places – such as the kitchen.

  • Professional Head Shots at the Village Gate ~ Flight 9 Creative

    Debra Wallace

    Professional Head Shots at the Village Gate ~ Flight 9 Creative I first worked with Melissa Boyack four years ago when she was in the throws of an amazing company idea called Opal and Twig. Her path in life has been redirected since then, but just yesterday my daughter, who is now 9, asked if

  • Senior Portraits Genesee Valley Park ~ Jake

    Debra Wallace

    Jake is not a huge fan of sitting in one place for very long, so Michelle opted to take his senior portraits during this year’s mini sessions at Genesee Valley Park. Interestingly, the last time I did mini sessions at GVP was three years ago, when Jake’s brother Josh also had his senior portraits taken.

  • Family Farm Portraits in Victor NY ~ Jamie & Michael

    Debra Wallace

    Jamie and Michael received this portrait session as a gift last Christmas and in the midst of some beautiful weather, we managed to pick a cold and rainy day. It might as well have been 70 and sunny though – these guys were unfazed! We managed this image when it started to rain harder and

  • Genesee Valley Park Mini Sessions ~ Monica and Heath

    Debra Wallace

    Have you ever had the experience of knowing someone and not remembering how you met? Monica and I go way back, but I can’t quite remember how we first crossed paths. Her pregnant belly with Solomon graces the waiting room of Welcome Home Midwifery. She was also one of four ambitious women who launched Listen

  • 6 Month Baby Photography Pittsford, NY ~ Andy & Betsy

    Debra Wallace

    Walking into their house is like walking into an LLBean catalog.  Jazz playing quietly in the background, fuzzy slippers on feet, and mysteriously all the dishes clean and put away.  For their babymoon they planned a get away to a cottage in the forest (with jazz playing quietly in the background and a fire in

  • Brighton Park Family Photography ~ Kim and Adonis

    Debra Wallace

    Adonis wins husband of the month award by skipping out of the Buffalo Bills kick off to come to this year’s mini sessions, which were held at Brighton Park on Westfall Road. I learned this year that Kim is an excellent gift giver. She found these magical baby socks that somehow never fall off and

  • Brighton Park Family Portraits ~ Geoffrey & Alethea

    Debra Wallace

    Alethea is a sign language interpreter by day, and a clothing coordinator ninja in the fall. She has put together some very impressive outfits for her family – click here for last year’s ensemble and here for 2013. This year she was a little disappointed in some inaccurate color representations on the shirts she had

  • Greece NY Family Portrait Photography ~ Nicole & Jerimie

    Debra Wallace

    Nicole contacted me in November because she wanted to surprise her in-laws with family portrait photography for Christmas. They envisioned a session in her in-laws back yard because she loves her garden so we planned for late summer. They had a shed everyone agreed was a nice backdrop. They also coordinated their clothing really nicely
