With 3 girls in college and 1 in high school, it’s rare to have them all in one place. In fact, it had been more than a year!
After discussing what mom wanted in these portraits, we both agreed it would be fun to incorporate the holiday lights in the village of Fairport. We created a few different looks along the Erie Canal path, then warmed up a little bit at Fair Pour while we waited for the sun to drop down below the horizon.
Golden hour gets a lot of love from photographers, but have you ever heard of blue hour? It is just as magical. It’s that time after sunset, before the sky goes black, there is a brilliant blue that contrasted perfectly with their bright red hats.
I had so much fun with this group, braving the chill for some memorable images. See you soon!

In June, I donated a family portrait session to Lucas's school staff appreciation luncheon, and a wonderful family received the gift! We met at the stunning Genesee Valley Club in Rochester, NY, where I had the pleasure of capturing their love and connection in timeless portraits. This session felt extra special, as it was a way to give back to a school community that has played a huge role in Lucas's growth as he prepares to leave elementary school.
We had the joy of capturing a family portrait for a sweet little one’s first birthday in Fairport, NY. It’s been a privilege to watch this family grow, and this session was filled with love, laughter, and the delightful chaos of raising two little ones. One of our favorite moments was capturing a candid shot of Mom dancing with her kids on the boardwalk. These portraits will forever remind them of the precious memories made as they embark on this new chapter together.
