Headshot Portraits for Librarians: Maggie

,

Our business is heavily relationship based. You can see that in the images we create. Working with Maggie to update her headshots was unique to her personality, but just what I always strive for in a session. Fun, outdoors, good lighting, natural expressions. 

She choose one of my favorite locations in the city to shoot: the University of Rochester campus. We met at the library, and planned to shoot near the quad. We quickly discovered much of it to be under construction, but not to worry, we altered the game plan slightly and still found lots of unique locations with great lighting to use.

Maggie, thank you for bringing your beautiful smile and helping me learn a little more about you and your journey to this moment. It's been a pleasure getting to know you, and laughing with you when we got photo bombed by the balloons. :) 

Until next time,
Lori

College Graduation Portraits & Family Photos at the University of Rochester

I love being on campus in the Spring; the college is beautified for graduation, and there is a buzz in the air. 

Congratulations Stephanie, U of R class of 2017! 

You may recognize her. Because two years ago we were at RIT celebrating her brother, Alex's graduation. Thanks for coming back guys! I absolutely loved spending time with you, catching up, and having fun on campus. Stephanie and Alex enjoyed being goofy together, mom gave her a lei to wear, and even Dan, her boyfriend, made his guest appearance.

But really, how fun is this? I think everyone should celebrate earning their degree with some fun portraits around the place that helped shape their future. Don't you agree? 

Hats off to you Stephanie, hope to see you all again soon at the next milestone!

Cheers!

Penfield High School Senior: Morgan

Morgan is just so darn cute and easy going! Her high school senior session started at the University of Rochester because of their amazing architecture. As we arrived, didn't it start to sprinkle? Doesn't matter, we played in the rain!

The rain didn't last long though, so we popped over to Genesee Valley Park for the remainder of the session. It was a fitting spot, being surrounded by the waters Morgan rows in.

Oh, did I mention how sweet she is? For the last shot of her session, she donned her grandfathers sweater and hat in his memory.  I love this idea, and enjoyed swapping stories about our grandfathers as we walked together.

Thanks for a great session Morgan, and have a wonderful year!
