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

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

Rainy Day Family Portraits ~ Chili, NY
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

Strong Museum Professional Portrait Photography Rochester NY ~ Danielle & Larry
Strong Museum Professional Portrait Photography Rochester NY ~ Danielle & Larry It was a gorgeous fall day and Danielle was super excited to get some outdoor fall pictures of her kids. Then poor Trevor took a face plant and banged up his nose, so we rescheduled. The next week it still wasn’t better (but the

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

Jennifer ~ Nature Senior Portrait Photography Rochester NY
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
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
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

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

Frequent Flyers ~ Abbie and Averie
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

Candid portrait photography in Ithaca NY ~ Hiking Treman State Park
A wonderful friend of mine has six children with one on the way who takes her kids hiking. I thought she was crazy. But a walk and scooter ride along the Cayuga Lake inlet at Cass Park in Ithaca left me nostalgic about my high school hiking days in Ithaca. That’s was what we did.

Fall Mini Sessions Sneak Peak ~ Rochester, NY Family Photography
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
