Family Portraits with Vintage Cars in Fairport NY

Family picture sessions are never dull when your Grandpa collects old cars. Why yes, we did shoot this family portrait in his barn!

This particular Fairport family is part of our family portrait membership, and they come to our Candid Mini Session events on a regular basis. But we also get to take family pictures that are all their own every year too.

This was such a fun family session. More proof that you can make great winter family portraits! What hobbies would you include in your session? Tell us in the comments!

High School Senior Model Session

Molly's Inspired Senior Portraits in Fairport NY

Non-traditional senior pictures that were outside the normal box, this senior portrait session was really unique!

Molly brought a strawberry dress and her personal vibe to this Fairport senior session. As we worked together, it really felt more like we were creating art rather than senior portraits.

I think I’ll let her Senior pictures do the rest of the talking!

Congratulations Molly, and thanks for trusting Lori and Erin Photography with your vision!

Fall Senior Portrait Session in the Sunken Gardens

Lara is a high school senior from Pittsford Sutherland High School. Her Fall senior pictures were a dream as a photographer to shoot.

Lara has that easy going, natural beauty. Her simple outfits allowed her smile and eyes to really shine. She ended her senior session throwing leaves like confetti. I know she is looking forward to swimming for UC Berkley, but Pittsford NY is gonna miss her!

Best of luck and congratulations Lara!

Backyard Senior Pictures in Pittsford NY: Gabriel

Gabriel is a Pittsford Sutherland High School Senior who came to us for some simple, but fantastic senior pictures.

Sometimes, your backyard is all you need for your senior portrait session. That and a great smile! Gabriel is an actor, so smiling came natural to him in these headshots. And since he and his family were planning to move, the backyard served as a convenient, and also a nostalgic setting. The trees offered up their natural beauty for late Fall, and I loved the brilliant blue of his old play house.

Best of luck in your endeavors Gabriel!

Outdoor Senior Portraits in Penfield, NY

Ethan's Senior Pictures

Is it Ethan, or Adam Driver? Made you look, right? Because it’s Ethan a Class of 2021 Penfield High School Senior.

Ethan was a pleasure to work. His senior pictures were what most high school senior guys want when they come to us: simple, quick and easy. The evening light suited him, and I love how excited his mom was about his whole senior portrait session.

Congrats on your upcoming graduation Ethan!

Keuka Lake Senior Portrait Session

Cassidy's Penn Yan Senior Pictures

Ahh, Fall senior pictures are the best. The weather is cool, and the colors are vivid.

Cassidy is a Penn Yann Academy Class of 2021 senior. She lives in the heart of wine country with Keuka Lake right down the street, which made a gorgeous backdrop for her senior portraits.

She was excited to show off her new tattoo, a subtle line of text on her arm. I was glad to celebrate your senior year, and this milestone with you in such a beautiful setting!

Congratulations Cassidy!

Fairport Family Pictures in the Fall

There’s a general feeling that families should hire a photographer only when their children are little for family portraits.

I understand the reasoning. Families get busier when the kids are teenagers, and tend to forget that these moments are passing at a rapid pace. But yet, so much growth happens in those tween and teen years that deserves to be photographed.

Take this family for example. Before the youngest, Hannah (we took her senior pictures too!), heads off to college, this family of five was due for some fun and an updated family portrait. I love this hidden boardwalk in the heart of Fairport, and the flowers that night did not disappoint.

So yes, right now IS a good time to take your family pictures. Especially when one of those grown up kids is now a high school senior and they’ll soon be leaving home for college. This time is important, and deserves its own family portrait session to remember it by.

Rochester NY Skyline Senior Portrait Session

Hannah’s senior pictures at High Falls

Rochester NY Senior Pictures that think outside the box? You got it! Hannah is a Fairport High School Senior, and wanted to head to the High Falls district for her senior pictures.

We explored the colors, textures and atmosphere with perfect light all around.

And then as the sun dropped and dusk settled, we climbed to the rooftop for some magical and iconic skyline senior pictures. This is the true model experience for a senior portrait, and a night to remember for us all!

Congrats on your upcoming graduation Hannah!

PS - We spent more time with Hannah and her family at their family session too. Go check them out!

Jake's Schoen Place and Football Senior Portraits

Jake is a Class of 2021 senior at Brighton High School. He’s an athlete and all around great guy.

When I look at Jake’s senior photos, I can’t help but think of Friday Night Lights. We explored the area around Schoen Place in Pittsford NY, and hopped a fence to get on the football field (unnecessarily I might add, but it provided for some good laughs!).

His costars for his senior pictures included both his mom and girlfriend. (Yes, you can include them in your senior portrait session!) But Jake took center stage with some impressive catches along the sideline.

Congratulations Jake and best wishes!

Carly's Sunken Garden, Senior Pictures in Rochester NY

Carly is a Class of 2021 high school senior at Gates Chili High School.

We visited the Sunken Gardens in Rochester NY for her senior pictures. When you look at Carly, you can’t miss those eyes! Gorgeous inside and out, this volleyball playing high school senior is bound for great things.

I so enjoyed her senior portrait session! If you’ve been following the blog, she may actually, look familiar. That’s because we photographed senior pictures for another member of her family recently! Check out her sister, Lexie, and her senior pictures from last year!

Enjoy Senior Year, Carly!

Bryce's Golf Senior Portraits at Cobblestone Creek Country Club

Bryce is a high school senior at McQuaid High School. He was eager to include his passion in his senior portraits. He is a fierce competitor with a golf course in his backyard, so it was an obvious answer to the question of “where should we take our senior pictures?”

We wandered the course for a mix of traditional senior portraits and also some unique action shots.

And how about that field of black eyed susans? Swoon!

Congratulations on your senior year at McQuaid, Bryce!

Victor NY Senior Portraits: Jacob, Class of 2021

This was my second time working with Jacob, and man did we have the perfect summer night for his senior portraits! He grew up on the golf course, but unlike his brother, Jeremy, Jacob prefers the pool. (See the last shot below for a watery background that complements his eyes!)

Just like with his brother’s senior session, we snuck in some family portraits as well. I love working with families over the years and recording the changes. I’m just sad there are no more kids to photograph in this one!

Congratulations Jacob, can’t wait to see what you do next!
