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,

Senior Portraits Genesee Valley Park ~ Jake
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.

Genesee Valley Park Mini Sessions ~ Monica and Heath
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

Brighton Park Family Photography ~ Kim and Adonis
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
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

Genesee Country Village and Museum Family Photography
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

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

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

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

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,

3 Lakes Pavilion Family Portraits
I’d seen family photos of Will before but didn’t realize that not smiling was his personal policy! However, a few times I think his kids laughter at my oinky pig won out. Sara and her family participated in this year’s mini sessions, which were held at 3 Lakes Pavilion in Durand Eastman Park. It was

Corbett’s Glen Family Photography Brighton
Corbett’s Glen Nature Park in Brighton, NY is a place that you can trip over photographers, but for good reason. There are waterfalls, flat nature trails, and of course, the iconic tunnel. This makes me want to go on a date with my husband! Simon would not smile for my oinky pig or imaginary spider

Gro-Moore Farm Family Photography Henrietta, NY
When you choose a location for your portraits it’s not always certain that you won’t get kicked out of a place, so it’s usually a good idea to check first. The wonderful people at Gro-Moore Farms were incredibly gracious in allowing us to sit on their pumpkins. Because the background is 50% of a photo,
