One 5 year old, two dogs, their parents and tons of room to run. Which is exactly what was necessary to photograph this five year old at his yearly family portrait session. They’ve been one of our amazing member families involved in our candid mini session events for all five years of his life. (What is this membership?)
After all this time, we know that playing is the way to his adorable smile. He also knows what to expect from us, and very rarely hides his face from our cameras. It’s one of the reasons that taking advantage of the candid mini session events makes sense.
We let the silliness happen, and we photograph their family pictures as they really are. That’s the side of him that his family wants to remember when he’s grown, so we capture it while we can. Enjoy this glimpse into their family!
PS - If you feel so inclined to check out that big inn behind them in the last photo, that’s Greenwoods Bed & Breakfast, and they’re the newest owners. Check it out, I promise you’ll want to want to take a little getaway after you see it!
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.
