Pittsford Mendon Senior Pictures: Maya Class of 2023

Maya is an upcoming Class of 2023 grad at Pittsford Mendon High School. She’s a softball player and volunteers outside of the classroom.

Her senior pictures in Webster included both the Arboretum and the shoreline at Webster Park. Everything from the sunset light to the flowers was perfect for her golden hour senior portraits.

She’s got a fantastic sense of style, amazing hair, and a gorgeous smile. Also I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t a little jealous of those eyes!

If you see her, congratulate her as she heads off to new adventures after high school!

Tips for Senior Pictures: Fairport NY Senior Portraits

Senior pictures for the Class of 2024 are underway! So we thought it might help to share few tips for some great senior pictures in the Rochester NY area.

After all, these senior portraits will live on the pages of the high school yearbook and on your walls for years to come. The experience you have should be fun, memorable and unique! So here's a few tips to get you thinking...

1) Clothing

Do your best to avoid clothing with words, stripes and plaids. Solid colors tend to photograph much better, especially in a busy background like a park or among colorful flowers. Make sure you're comfortable in your choices, and that they are flattering to you. If there's a part of you that you're self-conscious about, like your arms - simple solution, wear sleeves! Be comfortable in your clothes, so that it shows in your photographs! Also, keep your jewelry simple so it doesn't distract from what we're really capturing - you!

If you have questions on what to wear, bring a variety of options - from dressy to casual! We can help you pick the right outfit for the right setting.

2) Makeup

Don't feel like this is an opportunity to layer on makeup. We want a natural you in your high school senior pictures, not someone that no one will recognize! Your makeup should only be slightly heavier than usual. And please...don't use sparkles, they only make you look shiny in all the wrong places. Don't worry too much about blemishes either, we have ways to help diminish those!

3) Shaving

Unless you're into a bearded look, shave prior to the session to avoid unwanted stubble. If your face gets irritated easily, leave enough time for it to return to normal before your senior pictures.

4) Props, pets and activities

Here's the fun part. What is it that makes you, you? Do you have a cat, dog or pet iguana to include in your senior portraits? We're game, just make sure you bring treats for motivation, and someone to keep watch over Fluffy the Lizard while he's not in the photographs.

We encourage you to bring items that reveal your personality and hobbies. For example, an instrument, sporting equipment, vehicle, collectible, or whatever it is you enjoy!

Pittsford Mendon Senior Pictures: Class of 2022, Isabella

Pittsford Mendon High School Senior, Isabella, is an outdoorsy girl.

So climbing on a log barefoot in her senior pictures was totally normal for her.

I’m not sure if she was more at home by the water, or in the tree, but she was definitely a natural with her duck. She and Quackers the Therapy Duck donate their time to spread smiles. How awesome is that?

Thank you for such a fun and unique senior session Isabella, and congratulations Class of 2022! -Lori

Fall Senior Portrait Session in the Sunken Gardens

Lara is a high school senior from Pittsford Sutherland High School. Her Fall senior pictures were a dream as a photographer to shoot.

Lara has that easy going, natural beauty. Her simple outfits allowed her smile and eyes to really shine. She ended her senior session throwing leaves like confetti. I know she is looking forward to swimming for UC Berkley, but Pittsford NY is gonna miss her!

Best of luck and congratulations Lara!

Jake's Schoen Place and Football Senior Portraits

Jake is a Class of 2021 senior at Brighton High School. He’s an athlete and all around great guy.

When I look at Jake’s senior photos, I can’t help but think of Friday Night Lights. We explored the area around Schoen Place in Pittsford NY, and hopped a fence to get on the football field (unnecessarily I might add, but it provided for some good laughs!).

His costars for his senior pictures included both his mom and girlfriend. (Yes, you can include them in your senior portrait session!) But Jake took center stage with some impressive catches along the sideline.

Congratulations Jake and best wishes!

Pittsford Mendon Senior Portraits: Hudson

It was one of those days with a summer storm moving through. I had my fingers crossed that the clouds would stick around, but not the rain. We were in luck. The timing worked out perfectly and who doesn't love the reflection you get in a puddle? 

We got exactly what we needed to make Hudson's senior portraits epic, both at his Pittsford Mendon High School, and the Rochester Public Market. Then we capped it off with some downtown Rochester, rooftop pictures at dusk.

Looking for something different? Perhaps, some night shots for your senior pictures? Look no further, we've got you covered.

For now, enjoy Hudson's Rochester senior portrait session: baseball, graffiti and city skylines!
