Rochester NY Family Pictures: AJ's One “Plus” year portrait session

It was supposed to be AJ’s one year portrait session. But as many others, it ended up being a one “plus” year session due to the pandemic.

But honestly, just look at that smile - we can’t be mad about much of anything with this little one in the pictures. Roberts Wesleyan College was a great setting (not to mention empty of students) and the perfectly even light that day was on point.

As one of our Candid Portrait members, we’ve had the opportunity to watch him go from baby into toddler. His smile will only continue to grow, and we can’t wait to capture it as it does.

Penfield High School Senior & Family Pictures: Sean

Part family session, part senior session, all fun! What's better than hanging out in your backyard with your sisters and parents?

For his senior portraits, Sean wanted to keep it simple. He selected his favorite shirt, his favorite tree, and a beautiful summer night. I loved creating images for this gang of easy going people for them to cherish as Sean heads into his senior year at Penfield High School and beyond.

Say hello to Sean and family!

A special portrait session for the whole family

Large families are the best. Sometimes they're crazy, sometimes they disagree, but they always come together when they're needed. It's a beautiful thing.

Sometimes though, with as many people as this family has, it's tough to schedule a time where 32 people can all be in one spot, and inserting missing people from an extended family photograph is not in the norm for us.

But when Laura told me the circumstances, we made it happen. It's a lot of work, so we're thankful for the special skills of a very good retoucher, Megan Mullen for helping us make this full family portrait possible.

Rochester NY Photographers: K Family at Home

It's pretty cool to be a part of someone's entire life. Before Sarah was born, we photographed her parent's wedding. We celebrated when she arrived and again a few months later.

Now, there are lots of changes going on for Natalie and Dan. A new house, a new bun in the oven, and little Sarah turned two. It was my pleasure to be one of the first to see the new house, and watch as Sarah got to explore her backyard for the first time. This little cutie is a bundle of energy. 

Dan, Natalie, it's always a pleasure. Thank you for being amazing human beings.

Family Photos in Penfield NY

They came from Chicago, Syracuse and Webster to be together for a family vacation this summer. Spending time on the lake, hitting up Seabreeze and watching the little ones play. 

It was my pleasure to photograph this lively, friendly bunch up in Penfield. Taylor and Hailey ran around while Joey was just up for hanging out. We had a great morning together, and the kids earned their playground time after! Here are a few of our favorites. Enjoy!

Melissa and Mossy (the Horse) | Penfield Senior Photos

You may have met Melissa last week as part of Jamie's senior session. Now it's her turn to shine! We started with Melissa at the Sunken Gardens, and then finished up at the stables with her horse Mossy. Melissa's relationship with Mossy, is something we felt was important to capture in her senior portraits. Mossy was a little wild, but we had fun working with him in the barn and in the grassy areas. I love the moment with the two of them in the tall grass just looking at each other.

It was a pleasure working with both of them :)

Without further ado, enjoy this little peek into Melissa's world!

Greece Athena Senior Pictures at Linear Park

We think that if you have a great model like Sam, the setting can be anywhere. However, we knew that Sam wanted a natural setting with water nearby. So we met up with her at Linear Park in Penfield to create her senior portraits. We had a great time creating these fun images! She works hard on the stage crew at Greece Athena High school, so we included some of her playbills from her shows to personalize the session further. Sam was such a great model and up for anything! What a fun session, check 'em out!

We hope you are having a great senior year, Samantha! -Lori

Penfield Senior Pictures: Aaron

Meet Aaron: laid back, easy going and in his senior year at Penfield High School. We met at the Penfield Town Hall on a nice summer evening. The location offered a great deal of options in a small area: brick, trees, steps, white doors, and flowers. Aaron brought his amazing smile, and that was all we needed for a great evening of portraits. It was a pleasure working with you, have a great year Aaron!-Lori

Ana wanted a natural setting for her senior photos, and she was not afraid to get wet! We went to Corbetts Glen, and then to the Thomas Creek Wetland area in the Village of Fairport. We braved the mosquitos and the bees, and got some really nice, elegant shots for Ana. Check out a few of my favorites below!

Ana-- have a great senior year!
