Family Portraits in Webster NY

Just yesterday, we photographed Wes as he was celebrating 7 months of life. And then today, he turned one! This handsome little devil still has those piercing blue eyes and infectious smile. We were also celebrating the families' move to into a new home, so we used the woods around the house for their family portraits. These three boys are so great together, and they are lucky to have such wonderful parents. We love you guys and love watching your story unfold!

Tim & Family: Pittsford NY Portraits

This is an exciting time for Tim as he is heading off to NYC to begin his college experience! While most "senior sessions" happen before the senior year in high school, this one happened the summer after. We are so happy we got to work with both siblings this year, and even got a few family shots in there as well! Best of luck Tim-- we hope you make the golf team!

I love how this family picture looks like it was taken in the Fall. Nope, just a great summer night! Be sure to check out Tim's sister Kathryn's senior photos and video as well!

It was a beautiful night for some backyard family portraits, and this family was ready. Zach is heading off to college, and Mackay is entering her junior year in high school. Mom and Dad just celebrated their 20th wedding anniversary. What a great time to celebrate being a family! We even got the dog, Finn, in on the fun! 

Some true sibling love...

Don't these two just look stunning?

I just love capturing these moments for families. Give us a call if you'd like something like this to remember this time in your life by.

Rochester, NY family portraits with Kids

The title really says it all - they're fun to be around, loving, and pretty darn adorable... and that is just the kids. Oh what the hey, Mom and Dad aren't bad either. I don't get to see these guys that often, but I love them all to pieces. While they were in town for a family birthday party, we had the chance to get their yearly family portrait in. I love doing this every year for them, because I get to document their family as they grow together. I love it, and them, so much. Thank you to my family, for being so special, and for being such a huge part of why I do what I do. Enjoy! ~ Erin

Ever wonder how long it might take to get the image on the right? About 15 laps around the tree by a running two year old! He loved it, and so do I!

Ok, as a woman with a younger brother, I LOVE the image on the right. So true to life!

Baby Pictures at Home in Fairport NY

We cherish every person that steps or crawls in front of our lenses. Some are family members, some are friends, some are soon to be friends, but they are all special to us. Little E is no exception, and I am super excited to share a little of her story with you! I met E's parents about 2 years ago while they were in the adoption process. Throughout that time I met with them several times and enjoyed getting to know them. I always told them I couldn't wait to photograph their new family, and when I saw their name on the caller ID, I got excited! E is one lucky little girl and couldn't have found a better home. She has two older siblings to learn from and will be surrounded by love from every angle.

I look forward to watching her grow and seeing her story unfold. Without further ado, here she is!

Family Pictures with Infants: Rochester NY portrait photography

We were there when she was a newborn. Then, we saw her again at 4 months. Now, I can't believe it, but we're on her 8 month session of her First Year Plan. She's such a cute and happy little girl. She was so playful and full of smiles for us last week. It's so much fun to watch her grow, and to catch up with her mommy and daddy. You just can't help but fall in love with her smile. I mean, really...just look at this cuteness.

Before we know it, we'll be photographing her one year session. Then two, three, four...and well, you get the idea. However, I'm pretty sure her family would agree - let's not rush things, stay little as long as you can Miss Katie!

Clara at 9 months - Onondaga Park, Syracuse NY

The last time I saw Clara, she was 6 months old and we were celebrating her accomplishment of sitting up. She is growing so fast! Now, she is 9 months old and standing! It doesn't get any sweeter than this. We hung out under the willow trees at Onondaga Park in Syracuse to create and capture some 9 month memories. Take a peek at some of this session's highlights, and check back in another 3 months as we complete the one year plan!

Kerry is a master baby carrier and is very skilled at using wraps to carry Clara around. Clara seems to enjoy the ride as well!

"Why won't this book OPEN .... ooo bubbles!"

This is my favorite type of session. Enjoying a beautiful day with this wonderful family as they genuinely enjoy each other. I'm so lucky that this can be my gift to the world. -Lori

From Wisconsin to Fairport NY, there is nothing like being together with your family. We had three generations at this backyard gathering, and Erin and I were glad to capture it for them. Everyone was so friendly and easy going, even with the imminent threat of rain. We were lucky and it held off just long enough for our session. I loved being able to incorporate grandma and grandpa's beautiful garden into the photographs as well. Even Jorja, the family dog was great at sitting for the photos!

We really enjoy meeting people and photographing them in their environment. Such a rewarding experience, and now I know more of my neighbors! Have a great summer guys!

We have one more awesome session to blog from our time spent in the Thousand Islands. You may have seen our recent blog post about Jessica & Keith's engagement session. Well, way back in our planning stages for this trip, Jessica mentioned that it had been a verrrrry long time since her family had last had portraits taken. They were all coming to the river this particular weekend, so we set up a family session for them as well! It was easy to see that this family is close, and that each of them have fond memories and a love for being in the Thousand Islands. In between the ribbing they gave each other, we photographed them as a family – in a place that holds special meaning to all of them. 

Landon: 1 year old and family portraits

This past year has been a little more awesome. Why you ask?  It's because Landon has been in our lives! He is such a happy big boy, full of smiles and laughs. He loves to play with his doggies, drums and of course, Mickey Mouse! He has even started to take a few steps and any day now is going to be walking. I can't even believe this little man. We got to hang out while we were up on the St. Lawrence River in the Thousands Islands, so of course we had to get some shots in his swim trunks!

Love this guy... love watching him grow! Happy One Year Landon!

Love, Aunt Lori

7 Month Old Baby Portraits: rochester ny portrait photography

Lori and I are very lucky to be a part of a special group of friends. We grew together out of a love for photography, and often times a love for a bottle of wine amongst girls. They keep us motivated, laughing, and always dreaming big. We are so thankful to have them in our lives. One of our girls, Kathy, welcomed a new baby boy into her family 7 months ago. Recently, Lori & I stopped by to play. I say "play" because each time we have a portrait session for a baby, we end up laughing, playing and sometimes cuddling. Frankly, we never pass up an opportunity to play! On top of that, getting to be a part of this family's life means the world to us.

I love this age so much, they're always watching and learning from the people around them. So when we went to visit, he was all smiles and very talkative! He tried to copy all of our funny noises and laughed at our silly faces.

Kathy, thank you for allowing us to capture your little man. We love you so much, thank you for being a constant source of love and laughter. We look forward to getting to play again soon!

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!
