Senior Pictures in Wayne: Aiden

Aiden is a Wayne High School, Class of 2023 senior.

He's a tennis player and also loves football, whether in real life or playing Madden.

We photographed his senior portrait session in right before the leaves started to drop in November. The yellow in the trees made for an amazing background for his senior pictures.

It was fun to show off the different sides of his personality. We even took a few that included Mom, which is one of our favorite things to do at every senior portrait session.

We’re so glad we were able to fit this session in before his high school’s deadline! Congratulations, Aiden!

Aquinas Senior Pictures: McKenna, Class of 2023

McKenna is a Class of 2023 senior from Aquinas High School. It was great catching up with this family again, we photographed them in 2021 when McKenna’s sister Kylie graduated with the Class of 2022.

She wanted to include all of her passions in her senior pictures, including all of the sports she plays and her dog. The Sunken Gardens in Highland Park became the setting for this session.

Oh, and when we say that McKenna going places, we mean literally, because she also wanted to include her love of mountain biking. Check, check and check to all of the things!

Senior Pictures in Williamsville: Maja, Class of 2023

Maja is a Clarence High School Senior, with a great smile and passion for the ice. We traveled down the thruway for her senior portraits to Glen Falls in Williamsville NY.

At Glen Falls, we used hidden little water falls to create some gorgeous senior pictures in a natural setting. After that, we visited North Town Ice Rink to show off her figure skating skills!

After as many years as we’ve been senior portrait photographers, it’s exciting to still have a few “firsts.” This senior session included the first time we photographed a figure skating senior portrait.

With the help of her coach, we shot a variety of jumps, spins and graceful poses to help Maja celebrate this passion in her senior pictures. It was a lot of fun, even though we lost feeling in our toes for a few minutes from the cold ice rink!

What passion would you include in a senior portrait?

Victor NY Senior Pictures: Alison, Class of 2023

Alison is a senior at Victor High School, set to graduate with the Class of 2023. Her goals after graduation include going into Pre Law. At her senior portrait session, she nailed some fierce lawyer poses, so we think she’s clearly ready to take on the world.

Her senior pictures took place on the grounds of the Eastman Museum. Her clothes, her hair, her stunning eyes, it all worked together beautifully. The variety of architecture and garden elements felt like the right fit for Alison’s style.

Congrats Alison! Get out there and conquer your goals!

Victor NY Senior Pictures: Kyla, Class of 2023

Meet Kyla!

She’s a Victor High School senior, getting ready to graduate with the Class of 2023.

Can we just say? She absolutely rocked her senior pictures. With her Mom and boyfriend along for the session, we visited Ganondogan State Historic Site followed by the track at Victor High School.

We took some playful and fun senior portraits along the trail, as well as in the water. And when we got to the track, she changed into her uniform to show off her competitive side. Watch out for her on the track!

Congratulations Kyla and the rest of the Class of 2023!

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!

Brighton NY Senior Pictures: Alex, Class of 2023

He’s the captain of the Brighton High School football team. He loves golfing, lifting weights and hanging with his friends.

Meet Alex, a Class of 2023 high school senior. We’ve worked with his family before, taking his brother Jake’s senior pictures in 2021.

Where Jake wanted wanted to take his senior pictures at Schoen Place in Pittsford, Alex wanted to start his senior portraits in the city at Cobbs Hill. What was the same for both of them, were senior portraits in Brighton, on the football field.

It was wonderful to see this amazing family again, and create another great set of senior pictures for Alex. Congrats to this Class of 2023 grad!

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!

Victor NY Senior Pictures, Class of 2023: Erin

Congratulations to our very first Class of 2023 senior, Erin!
Her senior pictures for Victor High School were so much fun to create. We traveled to Canandaigua where we captured a variety of great senior portraits along the waterfront and nearby playground; the images from there were so vibrant and playful!

We also showed off a bit of Erin’s talents at swimming and crochet in her senior session, as well as included Mom and Dad.

We fully believe that senior pictures should include people who have supported you on your journey, and for Erin it was her parents. This family are some of the nicest folks around. (Including her brother Elliott, who we also photographed!)

We look forward to seeing what’s next for you, Erin! Congratulations!

Victor NY Senior Portraits: Class of 2022, Ethan

Ethan is a Class of 2022 Senior from Victor High School.

For his senior portraits, he wanted to keep it simple. We visited his home first, where we caught a few minutes with his loveable cat Missy. Then we photographed the rest of his senior pictures in Macedon at The Ganargua Creek Meadow Preserve.

I especially liked the way the late evening light fell just right in these senior pictures.

If you know him, leave him a congratulations on his graduation below!

Victor High School Senior Pictures: Class of 2022, Ben

Senior pictures in late fall… is it everyone’s favorite season in upstate NY? I know it’s not just me!

For this Victor High School Senior (and baseball player), it was like magic. First, we took some casual senior portraits of Ben along the water and trail, followed by some pictures in action on the diamond.

I love to photograph athletes. The goal is to create senior pictures that feel natural, so we go where the subject feels comfortable, and Ben was definitely at home on the baseball field.

Thanks for letting me capture this moment for you, and congratulations! -Lori

Mercy High School Senior Pictures: Class of 2022, Emma

I love it when our students bring their personal style to their Rochester senior pictures! The Memorial Art Gallery was the perfect setting for this beautiful soul and artist, Emma.

Just like her brother, Ethan, she had a confident ease about her that just made her a pleasure to be around, and gave her senior portraits the perfect glow.

Don’t those string lights just make the coolest background for senior pictures? Love it! Congrats Emma, and best of luck next year! -Lori
