  • Outdoor Child Photography Chili, NY

    Debra Wallace

    Two women were waving at me through tinted glass so I waved back and pulled around.  A woman I thought was Nicole walked over but then I realized she was definitely not Nicole.  She was saying, “It’s so nice to finally meet you!” and I was thinking, “You have me confused with someone else!”  Then

    Bainbridge Island ~ Tara and Jeremy Family Photography

    Debra Wallace

    Amazon may be my favorite company… that is until they recruited the husband of one of my closest friends and enticed them to move across the country.  Not to be deterred, we crashed their place for five days which ended up as an incredible family vacation including a stay on a horse farm, a visit

  • Savannah ~ Highland Park, Rochester, NY

    Debra Wallace

    Savannah was not 100% sure about smiling for the camera.  We tried bubbles, but they ended up all over our hands instead of in the air.  We also tried an oinking pig, which evoked more curiosity than smiles.  Some tickling from mom finally paid off.   Hannah did a phenomenal job dressing her family.  The

  • Lisa and Brad ~ Henrietta, NY Candid Family Portrait Photography

    Debra Wallace

    I don’t know if Lisa had a gender preference as she was awaiting the birth of her children, but I know I totally did.  I definitely wanted girls – and more than one.  And each time I got a boy I was tempted to feel disappointed.  But, I learned that a group of wrestling boys

  • Rainy Day Family Portraits ~ Chili, NY

    Debra Wallace

    Cancellation Policy: If you’re good with rain, snow, sleet, sunshine or high pollen counts, so am I.  Of course, it’s always a little surprising when people don’t cancel for these things but Fallanne is hard core, Colby’s a hunter and there are a few police officers thrown in the mix and whatnot, so rescheduling everyone

  • Jennifer ~ Nature Senior Portrait Photography Rochester NY

    Debra Wallace

    Jennifer chose Mendon Ponds as her senior portrait location, which is an excellent choice for nature portraits.  She also did a fantastic job of bringing a number of different outfits to create variety for her images.  She started making and selling jewelry in high school, so she also wore pieces of jewelry she created herself

  • Senior Portraits at Black Creek Park, Chili, NY ~ Dominic

    Debra Wallace

    The second step toward a perfect session is clothing and it’s worth putting a lot of thought into.  You want the clothing you wear for your senior portraits to be something that represents you and is comfortable, but doesn’t draw attention away from your face. Dominic attends a school with a dress code, so wearing

  • Fall Family Portrait Photography Rochester NY ~ Noah & Husna

    Debra Wallace

    It’s challenging to fit all of your belongings into two square feet of college dorm bedroom space, but somehow we managed to make it work.  I was scared, but unwilling to admit it, and Husna was one of the first friendly faces I encountered my freshman year at the University of Rochester.  She also happened

  • Frequent Flyers ~ Abbie and Averie

    Debra Wallace

    They were laughing and playing and running around and hiding.  The energy was palpable.  Even the bribe of chocolate didn’t go too far, but the facial expressions were outstanding anyway.  There may have been some concern on the parental end that we wouldn’t end up with any wall-worthy portraits, but the awesome thing about photography

  • 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 Maternity Photography ~ Kara & Robert

    Debra Wallace

    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

  • 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

  • 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 Family Photography on the Genesee River ~ Matt & Beth

    Debra Wallace

    We’ve known Matt, Beth and their beautiful family for a long time, then they moved away to Pennsylvania for 4 years and now they’re back.  We are so excited!  I loved Beth’s color coordination – it is an incredible example of blending and I love these colors.  Stunning.

  • Rochester, NY Family Photography ~ Jennifer & Jeremy

    Debra Wallace

    This was my first time working with this beautiful family too – they were so much fun.  Not everyone can pull off a candid family jumping shot like these guys did.  Enjoy your photos and have a wonderful fall!
