Family Portraits with Candid Photography in Pittsford NY

The family planned to come together for a 4th of July picnic and update their family portraits at the same time. Why not combine the two for some fun and candid family pictures?

We spent a beautiful afternoon at their charming Pittsford home, setting up a few posed family pictures and capturing the fun. The sun was shining, and the yard provided a perfect backdrop with its summer greenery. In between these formal shots, the real magic happened.

The kids decorated cookies with frosting and sprinkles, their silliness on display as they gobbled up their freshly finished cookies, adding a sweet, candid touch to the family photos.

There was also some fun dancing on the grass, everyone let loose, twirling and spinning. These joyful moments captured their unique personalities and the bond they shared.

Later, a friendly game of corn hole brought out the competitive spirit in both young and old, creating even more opportunities for candid shots.

The day was filled with a whole lot of silliness, from funny faces to spontaneous group photobombing. These moments of unfiltered joy and togetherness always bring a special charm to family portraits, making them not just pictures but treasured memories.

Capturing the essence of their time together was a delight, and the blend of posed and candid photos created a great visual story of their 4th of July celebration.

Mendon Ponds Park was the perfect late fall setting for this crew’s latest extended family portrait session.

There’s a benefit to hiring the same photographer year after year for your family pictures. We’ve been photographing their family pictures for awhile now, so they knew exactly what to expect from us. Vice versa, we also knew exactly what to expect from them.

We know what phrases are going to make the kids (and adults) laugh. We know whether or not they’ll willing go in for a big group hug. We know when to let the kids just run around for a few minutes.

The whole process of family pictures ends up being smoother, faster and way less stressful for everyone involved.

Check out these adorable faces, and let us know when we’ll see you for your next family portrait session!

Family Pictures in Tinker Park: Pittsford NY Photographers

We’ve said it before, we’ll say it again. There’s never a wrong time for family pictures.

It’s just as important when your kids are about to graduate high school as when they’re taking their first steps. In fact, it might even be more important when you are in the midst of senior picture season, to capture that family portrait at the same time.

This is what Alison’s family did one evening at Tinker Park. From senior pictures to family pictures, we had the privilege of photographing both of these moments for their family. If you want to - go take a peek at Alison’s senior pictures!
