Corbett's Glen, Rochester NY Portraits

November 19, 2014

Oh man, I am so glad to be back behind my camera again. As much as it's been exciting to bond with my own little guy, it's great to back capturing the smiles of our favorite families. I came back just in time to catch up with one of our newest members of the L&E crew at her 6 month session. It's part of her first year plan, and I can't believe how much she's grown since her newborn session. I'm so glad I was able to be here for this milestone! We took a short walk in Corbett's Glen, where this cutie was full of curiosity for the leaves and nature. She was so focused on the world around her, we had to work hard to catch a few smiles from her. But it was all well worth it. See what I mean?

Family Portraits with the Dog | Perinton NY

It was a nice Summer day when I met Tristan, Tiara, Trisha and parents at Perinton Park. We gathered to celebrate Tristan's graduation and get a family portrait before he headed off to college in Texas. We took a couple of formal shots with him in his tux, then went casual and included the family dog to make the photos complete. Trisha enjoyed modeling for the camera most of all. Thanks for working with us guys, and we hope to see you again soon!

A Senior Session on the Ice: Fairport NY High School

October 13, 2014

We love it when our senior sessions present a unique opportunity. Luke not only gave us a unique opportunity, but he also gave us a fun challenge. He's a goalie for the Fairport Hockey team. So after we did some of his senior portraits at home, we headed over to Thomas Creek Ice Arena. He suited up, while we lit up the ice rink...very carefully. It definitely fun to try some new things and get some different looks than usual!

And, we even managed to stay upright on the ice the whole time. I think that almost qualifies us for the Stanley Cup...right?

Enjoy these fun images! ~ Erin

Pittsford Maternity Sessions

October 1, 2014

Family Pictures

Shortly before my maternity leave began early, I photographed the most wonderful family / maternity session. This family is near and dear to my heart, and has grown by two! We photographed the session before their twins arrived, so now their family photograph looks quite a bit different, and even more wonderful. When I posted the sneak peek, I remember feeling in awe of Tiffany. Pregnant with my first child, I couldn't fathom how she kept it all together. Two beautiful boys, pregnant with twins and going at full speed as much as she could.

Her twins have finally arrived, and so has my little one. As I sit here writing this blog while simultaneously rocking my son to sleep, I'm still inspired as she seems to get it all done.

For now, I'm excited to share these images from their last family session as a family of four. And I look forward to the day when I can photograph them as a family of six! :)

A big family, mini session: Fairport NY Family Portraits

September 24, 2014

Family Pictures

Something you may not know: We offer mini sessions, and they've been quite popular with some of our big families. This family assembled in Rochester from several different states, and wanted to capture the entire family in one photograph. They were celebrating the 70th birthday of Max, the patriarch of the family. Hence, the matching t-shirts! Their goal was one photograph with all of them in it. We created a few different options in the short time we had with them. Here's a quick look!

Happy Birthday Max! I hope you all enjoyed your time in Rochester!

Rochester NY Maternity Session at Eastman Museum

I really can't believe it's been four years since I photographed Janel and Kevin's beautiful wedding day. They are another one of our couples who hold a super special place in our heart for their constant support as our business has grown. It was fun to talk "baby" together as we photographed their maternity session at the George Eastman House last month. I can't wait to share and compare stories with them as we capture the first year of their little man's life!

Janel, and Kevin - it's been an honor and a privelege to know you, and now to be a part of documenting your growing family. Thank you!! Rest up now (believe me, you'll miss it), and get ready to welcome your bundle of joy into the family. I'm sooooo happy for you, and can't wait to meet him! ~ Erin

Get to Know Us

Adding to the family: Welcome Baby Lucas

Get to Know Us

This post, was originally meant to be about our "Baby BBQ." However, I learned (rather quickly in fact), that babies tend to have their own timeline. So with that being said, let me introduce you to the newest love of our lives: Lucas Davey Perrotta. Born a full month early, he came into the world on August 25, at 9:03 am. He was (and is still) a peanut at just 5 lbs, 14.5 oz. But yet, he's tall at 20 inches long. I've no idea where that comes from, because it sure isn't me!

A surprise to his daddy and myself, he just couldn't wait to officially join our family. And I'll be honest, I wasn't ready. We were only 36 weeks along! The month we had left to "prepare" was suddenly gone and replaced with this beautiful little man with tiny fingers and toes. So while I may not feel totally ready for this roller coaster ride into parenthood, I'm going to hold on tight and enjoy the ride.

Welcome to the family Lucas. We are excited to learn who you'll become, and to be a part of shaping who that person will be. You are so loved by so many already, especially me.

We love you always and forever,

Mommy (Erin) & Daddy

6 years and two children later, this beautiful family holds a special place in my heart. To this day, I still have the thank you card on my bulletin board that they wrote to me after their wedding. I've kept it all of these years as a reminder of when I was just starting out. It's great couples like Dana and Michel that helped me grow. Their trust and continued support truly means the world to me as we continue to grow. I'm so incredibly thankful for them. On top of that, they make adorable children and are so much fun to work with. We picked the perfect afternoon to play in the park together. Check out their cuteness - I just love all of their faces and can't wait to see them again! ~ Erin

Family Pictures at the Park: Fairport NY Portrait Sessions

August 8, 2014

Family Pictures

There's nothing like coming home for a visit, especially when a stop in at Abbott's is involved. These guys traveled from Oklahoma for a visit with Nonny - and I was excited when they got in touch with us to have a little fun with them while they were here. We hit up Perinton Park in Fairport, where tree climbing and a little goofiness quickly ensued. Some of those goofy images are my favorites from the day. They show their personalities and having some fun together. These guys were pros at taking great portraits, and had fun too! Mom - I think they earned their ice cream...

It was a beautiful afternoon at the park, and great to visit with them, even if it was for a short time! ~ Erin

Big family portraits: Pittsford NY family sessions

July 23, 2014

Family Pictures

21 family members, all in together in town for a brief moment in time. What a great idea to get one big family portrait! We're so glad they called us to capture them all together, and some separate family shots. It may have been a short session, but it really went off without a hitch. And on top of that, we had time for a little silliness with the kids too! What fun!

Until next time! - Erin

Family fun at the cottage! Lake Ontario Family Portraits

July 14, 2014

Family Pictures

The Fourth of July is a time for vacations, family, and fun. Years ago, this family's story originated here in Brockport, NY. As they grew up and started their own families, they moved to other areas of the United States. That's what makes this session so special. They all came back home with their kids, to vacation together over the holiday at their parents cottage, on the shores of Lake Ontario. Naturally with everyone home, it was also the perfect time to capture their family portrait!

It was definitely not an easy feat to get 5 children and 8 adults, in one family photograph together - but we made it happen, and we're so glad we were able to do this for such a wonderful, growing family.

Here's a few from the fun we had - enjoy! ~ Erin

We were so honored that you chose us to photograph your senior sessions. We had so much fun working with each and every one of you. Each session was different in it's own way, based on all of the activities and hobbies you enjoy - which made our job even more fun! We wish the Class of 2014 all the best on their future endeavors. We hope that you'll achieve your dreams, while in your own way making the future a better place for those who come after you.
