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
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

Danielle & Larry ~ Brighton NY family photography in the winter
by Debra Wallace January is not a popular on location photography month. Things are really quiet and it’s nice to have a little bit of a breather. However, should you be itching for some photographic goodness, snow is no reason to hold back! There happen to be many studio-less winter options available. Danielle and Larry

Bonnie & John ~ Webster, NY Christmas Portraits
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
“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
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

Rochester On Location Senior Portrait Photography ~ Amanda
Your house might be a better location for photos than you think! Amanda’s was a veritable photo park. Nicole, her mom (and coincidentally one of my real life superheros) said, “You make our front porch look so good!” It made me smile because we just moved to a brand new house from an older one

Rochester, NY Newborn Photography ~ Story KaraMia, 5 days old
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 Candid Child Photography ~ Ansley and Luke
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
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.

Rochester, NY Maternity Photography ~ Samantha
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
