Candid Mini Sessions: Family Pictures at the Beach in Rochester NY

Beach lovers, unite! As family portrait photographers, we get excited every year about the possibilities for fun this Candid Mini Session bring. Here's why Family Mini Sessions at the beach are the ultimate fun-filled experience:

1. Perfect for All Ages

   The beach is a wonderful place for people of all ages. Kids can build sandcastles, run in the water, or simply explore the shore. Teens and adults can enjoy peaceful strolls, play beach games or just rest in the sand. No matter your age, the beach offers something for everyone, making it the ideal location for a family mini session.

2. Relaxed Atmosphere

   There’s something about the sound of crashing waves and warm sand that creates a relaxed atmosphere that allows families to be themselves and have fun. Unlike family portraits in a studio environment, the beach allows for natural interactions and genuine expressions. Kids can run freely, splash in the water, or build sandcastles, giving us as photographers the opportunity to capture candid family pictures.

3. Fun Activities

   Our beach Candid Mini Sessions aren't only about posing for family pictures. They provide an excellent opportunity for families to enjoy a variety of activities together. From playing with beach toys to splashing in the waves, this playfulness adds a touch of joy and real life to the sessions.

4. Natural Lighting and Stunning Sunsets

   As the golden hour sets in, beaches are blessed with glorious natural light, often creating a soft and dreamy atmosphere for your family portraits.

Family pictures at the beach are a great way capture precious moments while enjoying the natural beauty of the beach together.  So beach lovers, what are you waiting for?

Senior Pictures in Irondequoit NY: Dylan, Class of 2024

Congrats to Dylan, a high school senior at Irondequoit High School, graduating as part of the Class of 2024!

Dylan has a love for reading and creative writing, so a nature background didn’t fit for this high school senior portrait. So what did we do?

We took Dylan’s senior pictures at Irondequoit Public Library - obviously!

It was a great senior portrait session, surrounded by the stacks of books. Dylan’s sense of style, combined with relaxed senior portrait poses really made this portrait session a lot of fun!

Candid Mini Sessions at Egypt Park in Victor NY

One of the things I love the most about the families that come to our Candid Mini Sessions is all of the ways that they are constantly changing.

Like when a family, (who have been clients since their wedding) gets a new puppy.

Or when a family is celebrating the end of their home school year.

Or even just celebrating the fact that last time you were here at this playground, your child couldn’t climb the rock wall, but this time it was a piece of cake.

This mixture of family portraits and candid photography is how we help you remember all of the big and little moments of growth. It’s why our this version of family pictures exist.

Senior Pictures in Penfield NY: Class of 2024, Ryleigh

Ryleigh came to us for her Fairport senior pictures last summer. She was looking for fun senior portraits that felt relaxed. Oh, and she wanted to include her Jeep in them too.

So we headed to Linear Park for some fun nature senior pictures, both in the water, and alongside her Jeep as well. When she’s in school, or working to take care of her Jeep, she’s an avid soccer player.

If you see her, give this Class of 2024 Senior a huge congrats from us!

Senior Pictures in Rochester NY: Fairport NY Photography

Kinsey’s friends describe her as artsy, bubbly and a little goofy, but also loyal and caring. She’s a Class of 2024 high school senior, who was looking for something more than a flower filled garden for her senior pictures.

So we opted for her senior pictures at Cobbs Hill in Rochester, using both the water tower grafitti art and the nearby tennis courts. We had tons of fun creating senior pictures that reflected her personality to a “T.”

Congratulations Kinsey, we can’t wait to see where you go next!

One of the coolest things about being a branding photographer is getting to meet people from a variety of different industries. Like Marissa - a working nurse, who also designs VR software curriculum for future nurses. Talk about multi-talented!

It was so cool to learn about how the process from Marissa while we photographed her at The Hive, as well as some outdoor locations in Fairport. As you can see, taking her branding photographs was pretty easy with her award winning smile!

Brighton High School Senior, Aurora, was so much fun to work with. She loves to be outside, and she loves to sing and dance. Put the two together, and you have a really fun senior portrait session.

We used her grandmother’s backyard garden as the setting for her Senior pictures. There was no shortage of laughter and 50,000 watt smiles.

Congratulations to this amazing Class of 2024 grad!

Candid Mini Sessions: Family Pictures at Webster Arboretum

There are so many perfect little nooks and crannies at the Webster Arboretum for family pictures. It’s hard for me to pick my favorite spot!

Our summer family mini sessions were full of silly faces and giggles - and that was just from us, the family photographers. The families that joined us for their family portraits were also full of silliness and laughs, but also snuggles and hugs.

The kids loved playing hide and seek in the willow trees, and climbing up on the rocks throughout the park. The parents loved getting an updated family picture AND simultaneously letting their kiddos run off some energy at the same time. Win-win for everyone!
