Family Pictures in Webster NY: Fairport NY Photographers

Since we saw them last, they’ve had 3 beautiful kids and lived out of state. They recently decided to make the move back to Rochester and one of the first things they did was book their family pictures. They hadn’t even officially moved into their new house yet, but they knew they wanted to update their family portrait before the weather changed to snow.

And what a beautiful day we had at Abraham Lincoln Park. Even though there were a few playground bumps and bruises along the way, we captured some gorgeous family pictures for them to cherish in their new home.

Welcome home Heather and Blaze!

First Communion Portraits: St. Louis Church, Pittsford

A few months ago, Owen celebrated his first communion at St. Louis Church in Pittsford. We went back to create some images to commemorate this important step in his young Catholic life. 

I'm not sure if Owen was more excited that he got to read at the pulpit, or bring along Burr, the family/classroom hedgehog for his session. He also seemed to enjoy lighting the candles at the church.

I just enjoyed being a part of the whole thing! I mean, seriously, with that suit and suspenders? This kiddo is cute, and he knows it! 

Congratulations Owen, see you again soon!

Family Portraits on the Erie Canal

Sofia loves to smell the flowers and feed the ducks at Schoen Place in Pittsford, right along the historic Erie Canal. So for this special session celebrating her second trip around the sun, she donned a pink tutu and we had some fun along the water!

How cute is this little girl??

She is so loved, happy birthday Sofia!

Family Portraits at Home by Fairport NY Photographers

I first met Lily around her first birthday, and I remember her being shy as could be. Two years later, she is an outgoing big sister full of spunk and energy! It was my pleasure to spend time with this amazing family in their home to celebrate Lucas's first year. We hung out on the porch a bit, then let the kids have fun in the play room. 

It is these unplanned sessions that really let the photojournalist in me come alive. Capturing real expressions while the kids play. Waiting for the right moment and the right light to come together. And it is amazing when it does. 

Say hi to Lily, Lucas and family!

Mini-Sessions Photography: 6 month old pictures

I think 6 months just became my favorite milestone in the baby steps plan. This is the age when babies are usually starting to sit on their own, they are full of expressions and are just a whole lot of fun! While Clara is no stranger to my camera, this was the first time I got to work with Paulie. The first of many I hope! Have you seen this stud muffin? Watch out ladies... While we had hoped to be outside for these mini sessions, the day proved to be a little to cold for that. We ended up inside at the Barnes Hiscock Mansion in Syracuse, NY. The home is beautiful with lots of great spaces we were able to utilize. The staff was wonderful to work with as well. If you are in the area, I definitely suggest checking it out!

Here are a few of my favorite images from the day. Enjoy!
