Rochester NY Maternity Session at Eastman Museum

I really can't believe it's been four years since I photographed Janel and Kevin's beautiful wedding day. They are another one of our couples who hold a super special place in our heart for their constant support as our business has grown. It was fun to talk "baby" together as we photographed their maternity session at the George Eastman House last month. I can't wait to share and compare stories with them as we capture the first year of their little man's life!

Janel, and Kevin - it's been an honor and a privelege to know you, and now to be a part of documenting your growing family. Thank you!! Rest up now (believe me, you'll miss it), and get ready to welcome your bundle of joy into the family. I'm sooooo happy for you, and can't wait to meet him! ~ Erin

Does this girl just keep getting cuter? I think so! If you've been following the blog, you've met Morgan before. This session was to celebrate her at 9 months. We started at home with the dogs, and then headed out to a relatives house for some shots with the pond and barn. It was an incredible location, and Morgan rocked it with her numerable adorable outfits!

Can't wait for our next installment in the first year program. Stay tuned! Lori

6 years and two children later, this beautiful family holds a special place in my heart. To this day, I still have the thank you card on my bulletin board that they wrote to me after their wedding. I've kept it all of these years as a reminder of when I was just starting out. It's great couples like Dana and Michel that helped me grow. Their trust and continued support truly means the world to me as we continue to grow. I'm so incredibly thankful for them. On top of that, they make adorable children and are so much fun to work with. We picked the perfect afternoon to play in the park together. Check out their cuteness - I just love all of their faces and can't wait to see them again! ~ Erin

Meet Liam and his parents. We hit up the Eastman House gardens to celebrate Liam at 9 months. He is standing and leaning like a big boy, and oh so handsome! He was a trooper through the heat and and a few outfit changes, and loved showing off his crawling skills at the end of the session. The Eastman House was a perfect backdrop for this wonderful family's portraits. I hope you enjoy this little man's smiles like I do!

Until next time, Lori

Family Pictures at the Park: Fairport NY Portrait Sessions

There's nothing like coming home for a visit, especially when a stop in at Abbott's is involved. These guys traveled from Oklahoma for a visit with Nonny - and I was excited when they got in touch with us to have a little fun with them while they were here. We hit up Perinton Park in Fairport, where tree climbing and a little goofiness quickly ensued. Some of those goofy images are my favorites from the day. They show their personalities and having some fun together. These guys were pros at taking great portraits, and had fun too! Mom - I think they earned their ice cream...

It was a beautiful afternoon at the park, and great to visit with them, even if it was for a short time! ~ Erin

Extended Family Portraits | Rochester NY Photographers

We've come across a bit of a trend lately. Many of our family portraits have been of families coming into town for an exciting occasion. For this family, it was for their parents' (or grandparents' in some cases) 50th wedding anniversary and the party that went with it. What a treat for them to have their whole family in one place at the same time! It was the perfect night for portraits. We had fun working with everyone, capturing everything from a big group family photograph to individual images of each of the kids, and also some goofy, fun photographs with each family.

Enjoy this peek at a few of our favorites! ~ Erin

Big family portraits: Pittsford NY family sessions

21 family members, all in together in town for a brief moment in time. What a great idea to get one big family portrait! We're so glad they called us to capture them all together, and some separate family shots. It may have been a short session, but it really went off without a hitch. And on top of that, we had time for a little silliness with the kids too! What fun!

Family fun at the cottage! Lake Ontario Family Portraits

The Fourth of July is a time for vacations, family, and fun. Years ago, this family's story originated here in Brockport, NY. As they grew up and started their own families, they moved to other areas of the United States. That's what makes this session so special. They all came back home with their kids, to vacation together over the holiday at their parents cottage, on the shores of Lake Ontario. Naturally with everyone home, it was also the perfect time to capture their family portrait!

It was definitely not an easy feat to get 5 children and 8 adults, in one family photograph together - but we made it happen, and we're so glad we were able to do this for such a wonderful, growing family.

Here's a few from the fun we had - enjoy! ~ Erin

We caught up with Carter, Cameron and Cole at Mendon Ponds Park last week for a fun, playful, outdoor session. They even brought along Daisy, the family dog, to play! These boys were full of energy and spunk. I love the RGB color scheme and the liveliness it brings to the images. We even got mom and dad in there for a couple family portraits. Enjoy this little glimpse!

Thanks for hanging out with us! Until next time, Lori

Newborn Pictures in Rochester NY

Less than a week old, and he's already growing too fast. We've been looking forward to his birth for awhile now. Back in the fall, we photographed their announcement, - so finally he's here!  And now that he is, we all want to slow down time and keep him this small forever. I went to photograph his first session of his first year plan, and probably spent a bit more time snuggling him than I meant to. But I couldn't help it, he's just so cute and cuddly! I'm so happy for his mommy, daddy and big brother, and am excited to watch him grow up. Hopefully though, not too fast.

Family Portrait Session at Belhurst Castle, Finger Lakes

What a great vacation idea-- escape to the Finger Lakes and have all the family meet there. We worked with this amazing family last year, and were excited that they came back to town again. This time, we met at Belhurst Castle on Seneca Lake, whereas last years session was on Keuka Lake. Same two adorable cousins with another on the way! These girls are full of energy, laughter and love. They enjoyed running around the lawn, reading and playing with their toys. And the sunglasses! Too cute! Without further ado, meet Claire, Jane and family!

2 Year Old Portraits : Landon | Syracuse NY Photography

2 yr old boy portraits

running boy, superhero

We took Landon to the local park to celebrate his 2nd birthday. Man- life goes fast! Just yesterday we were swaddling him, now he is running around, being a super hero. He loves to play tackle and chase, so it was a good workout for me. It is so worth it when you see this little man's smile. Happy Birthday Landon!
