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!

Summer Candid Family Mini Sessions: Fairport NY Family Pictures

Pro tip: Kids are often much more excited to have their picture taken when they know something fun is about to happen.

Which is why our Candid Mini Sessions often include an activity!

For example, we go mini golfing! Along the way, we capture some adorable family pictures. In between the family portraits, they get to play, and so do you!

That’s why Candid Family Mini Sessions are perfect for kids who never sit still.

It really is that easy and fun.

Another fun place to explore in the summer is the Webster Arboretum. This location has so many great settings, not only for family pictures, but for kids to explore, run, and climb. Check out some of the fun we had below!

If you’ve hesitated on booking a Candid Mini Session in the past because you think your kids won’t cooperate, we get it. We hear that a lot from parents who have signed up in the past. But the pictures speak for themselves. Give it try, we’d love to meet you!

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?

How to Have Summer Fun and Great Family Portraits Too: Fairport NY Family Pictures

If your family is anything like mine, your summer days and nights are jam packed with family fun. It feels like we’re on the go all summer long. Camps, traveling, swimming, splash pads, berry picking - you name it, we’re making the most of family time during summer.

And if you’re anything like me, you want to capture each and every memory, but you also want to be present in that memory.

The struggle is real. We get it. We’re constantly caught between taking the picture and being present.

This is why our Candid Mini Family Sessions are so important to us. Take our summer events for example. We visited Edmund Lyons Splash Pad and also went raspberry picking. With both of these mini sessions, we’re gave our clients the freedom to put their phone away and (gasp)… be in the pictures.

Because we’re there, and at these family pictures - that’s our job.

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!

Personal Branding in Rochester NY: Fairport NY Photographers

We started in 2013 with portraits with her sisters. And then we photographed her wedding in 2015, her sister’s wedding in 2016. She began her career and her family out of state, but moved back recently, quickly booking an updated family portrait, and also a personal branding session for herself.

And every time we see her, she’s like a light that draws us in. It’s easy to see why this doctor’s brand as a expert in menopause and women’s health is taking off.

We aren’t sure how she does it. Between her Women’s Health podcast, her leadership position with Midi Health and her family, she also found time to write a book, which hits shelves in June.


Check out how some of her photographs have been used:

Wait until the last photo! We know her!


Oh and did we mention that she got to meet and be on a panel with OPRAH recently?! WHHHHATTTT? (I probably should have led with that, huh?)


Honestly, we’re pretty honored to say we know and love this amazing woman. Thank you Dr. Heather Hirsch, for giving us the opportunity to showcase your brand, your way.

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!

Rochester NY Family Pictures: Highland Park Mini Sessions

In the first few family pictures below, you can see everything you need to know about a Candid Mini Session Event. Highland Park in May during peak Lilac season was the perfect setting for this particular event.

The first family portrait is a shot we set up. We picked the angle, the back lighting, and even asked them for a little bit of the action you see. The result - an all smiles, golden hour family picture.

The family picture below that is far more candid in nature. We let them be, and allowed them to play on the playground together. The result - joy in a real moment as a family.

Real life doesn’t happen in posed pictures alone. That perfect blend of both types of family pictures is exactly what we aim for at every single Candid Mini Session.

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!

Keuka Lake Family Pictures: Fairport NY Photographers

How do you celebrate your anniversary and your baby at the same time? This adorable family chose to celebrate with family pictures!

They came to the area to spend time with their family at their cottage on Keuka Lake. That’s where Lori spent some time with them, photographing some fleeting baby smiles and little family moments.

What do you have coming up that you want to celebrate with family pictures?
