Among many other remarkable artistic skills, Kate is a textile artist. She worked as an art therapist for many years and then launched a knitting design company called Black Bird Knits. She’s averse to self-promotion but has recently been noticed by a yarn company. Their photographs follow a specific branding style and so they took

University of Rochester Professional Headshots ~ Anna
University of Rochester Professional Headshots Sometimes when people inquire about professional headshots they have in mind an image that’s just shy of a snapshot. That happens frequently enough that when people call inquiring about headshots, I’m inclined to let them know that what I do may be overkill for them. Which is exactly what happened

Ithaca NY Treman State Park Family Portrait ~ Will and Sarah
Will and Sarah are currently living in Ithaca, which is a place where you trip over waterfalls and do not want to learn how to drive a standard. Roads have 170 degree turns and are pitched at 80 degree angles, with water dripping down mossy rocks in parking lots and roadsides. In Rochester people have

Tinker Nature Park Family Portraits, Rochester, NY ~ Molly & Mike

Charlotte Beach Extended Family Photography, Rochester NY
The entire family gathered from the four corners of the US to celebrate Grandma and Grandpa’s 50th wedding anniversary. I don’t know how surprised they were by the party that ensued, but I’m sure that just having everyone in the same geographic location made them feel like successful parents. They chose Charlotte Beach because they are

Chili NY Senior Portrait Photography ~ Matthew
Matt is entering his senior year at McQuaid, loves theater and is planning to be a doctor. According to his mom, practicing medicine has been on his mind for a long time. He didn’t mention the medical thing to me, but was adamant about doing some photos in a theater (more on that later). We

Genesee Valley Park Baby Photography ~ Valerie & Aaron
I didn’t know Valerie’s vocation ahead of time, but I guessed that she and Aaron were doctors because of a statement she made about coordinating their schedules. It turns out they’re both in emergency medicine, which means that you couldn’t help but feel calm in their presence. I’m pretty sure I ended up oversharing. If

Canandaigua NY Senior Portrait Photography ~ David
Robynlyn and her family don’t live in Canandaigua but have spent a lot of time there over the years and wanted to take advantage of the scenery there for David’s senior portraits. It’s worth driving a little extra to be in a spot that is meaningful to you. Seniors have a wide range of perfectly

University of Rochester Family Portrait Photography ~ Danielle and Alan
Danielle told me over the phone that Mira is always doing cart wheels and it took about 30 seconds for her to start tumbling down the quad on the University of Rochester campus. We were fortunate with some unusually warm April weather for their Univeristy of Rochester family portrait photography session. Danielle said that she

Mendon Ponds Sibling Photography ~ Trevor & Kevin
Danielle, Larry, Trevor, Kevin and I go way back and I was saddened to learn that they were going to move back to Colorado. Danielle swore she’d be back for photos but I have to confess I didn’t really think it would happen. To my surprise, she not only came back for a visit but

Churchville NY Family Portraits ~ Alan and Cheryl
Cheryl’s kids ran out the door to offer to help me bring in equipment and crowded around to play with my oinky pig. She seemed to think they were being rowdy but the liveliness of their home was lovely. They previously had family portraits done when their oldest son graduated from high school (a huge

Memorial Art Gallery Family Portraits ~ Andy and Betsy
Andy and Betsy first had their maternity portraits taken on their babymoon retreat to Naples, NY. It was quiet and peaceful crunching through the snow to capture Betsy’s beautiful belly. To view the rest of their maternity session, click here. A few months later, baby TJ made his entrance into the world and we met

Aurora Inn Extended Family Portraits ~ Dana & Ryan
Dana who lives in Ithaca, loves to gift portrait sessions, which is so generous! A year ago she gifted a portrait session to Ryan’s sister and brother-in-law who happen to live in Rochester. This year, the gift went to grandma who just turned 94 (congratulations grandma!). I love their outfits – they have traditional white,
