Extended Family Pictures in Pittsford NY: Fairport NY Photographers

Mendon Ponds Park was the perfect late fall setting for this crew’s latest extended family portrait session.

There’s a benefit to hiring the same photographer year after year for your family pictures. We’ve been photographing their family pictures for awhile now, so they knew exactly what to expect from us. Vice versa, we also knew exactly what to expect from them.

We know what phrases are going to make the kids (and adults) laugh. We know whether or not they’ll willing go in for a big group hug. We know when to let the kids just run around for a few minutes.

The whole process of family pictures ends up being smoother, faster and way less stressful for everyone involved.

Check out these adorable faces, and let us know when we’ll see you for your next family portrait session!

Winter Family Pictures: Mendon Ponds, Birdsong Trail

Snowmaggedon nearly threatened to cancel this member event on us. But with quick thinking and moving the date up we just beat it out. We’re so glad we did.

I loved watching and capturing our families (of all ages) playing in the snow and whenever possible feeding the birds from their hands. What a joy it was to see the looks on their happy faces as a bird snatched food from it.

And to know that we’re giving these memories back to them - that’s everything. If you’re still wondering what this program is about, it’s about letting you be you, and enjoy life. And we do our part by giving it back to you.

November Family Portrait: Mendon Ponds Park

Let's throwback a little bit. First all the way back to the day we met Natalie and Dan. They were quiet but peaceful and perfect together. And so sweet and so kind.

Then, shortly after their wedding, we met Sarah, their spunky but a little shy firstborn. We've been there as they watch her grow, into a smart, curious and independent toddler.

And now, meet Amelia. Their littlest perfect addition to the family. She's only two months new and already lighting up the world with her sweet little smile. 

All of these beautiful moments couldn't make me happier to know Natalie and Dan if they tried. I love, that in the midst of the craziness of adjusting to two littles - they always take the time to ask about us, about our families and how we are doing with genuine care and concern.

What I love about them most, is how much they love and care about everyone in their lives. Thank you, Natalie and Dan for being you, and for creating your little piece of beautiful for the world to love with you.

Here's a little bit from our time together at Mendon Ponds. Enjoy!

Rush Henrietta High School Senior Portrait: Jimmy

It's always a special honor to photograph siblings. It's also a fun challenge. We photographed Rebecca's senior portraits two years ago, so it was great to hear about what she is up to now.

But on to her younger brother Jimmy, who is now a senior. Both Rebecca and Jimmy are runners, so of course we wanted to make sure their two sessions were a little different.

Jimmy's favorite place to run is Mendon Ponds, so we spent a nice Fall afternoon there. He has such a natural, easy going smile. I also really love that red hair!

Enjoy, and good luck in your next race Jimmy!

Family Portraits at Wild Wings, Mendon Ponds

I've known Mikaela all of her life (hehe), and I've known her parents longer. It's been an honor to have them as members in our Portrait Membership program, and get watch them all grow together as a family.

I also have a two year old who never sits still. So I'm no stranger to chasing a two year old around at a family portrait session. 

Which is exactly what I did with Mikaela. She's a peanut, but she's a fast peanut. She ran around the trail at Mendon Ponds like she owned the place. And she stopped only long enough to watch a few birds land in their hands at the Wild Wings Nature Center. (If you've never been there, it's a fun place and an easy hike for toddlers!)

By the end - Mom, Dad, and Grandma might have had tired legs, but Mikaela could have kept going all day. What an adventurous and adorable little lady!

I can't wait to see where the adventures take them next!

Lima Christian Senior Pictures, Cobbs Hill, Mendon Ponds

I knew there was something special about Lindsey. She just oozed a very welcoming personality. Her goal for the session? To make ME smile. Can you believe that? Well, she succeeded, because her gorgeous attitude was indeed infectious. 

Lindsey is currently attending Lima Christian School, and plans to attend the Bible Institute next year before going to college. She brought her bible and some favorite books to her session before getting serious in her soccer jersey. And that dog? Do they get any cuter? We always love to include pets, and Jake was no exception.

Well, before I rattle on all day, check out a few of our favorites from Cobbs Hill Reservoir and Mendon Ponds Park.

Karli is a beautiful senior girl at Hilton High School. We met out at Mendon Ponds Park for her senior photos. My favorite images include the barn and sunflower field that were just up the road. She kept her outfits simple, but they worked so well! Thanks for the adventure Karli, and have a great senior year! -Lori

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

Naomi has a love of nature, horses and all kinds of music. She was a lot of fun to work with, and willing to try anything! I'm also pretty sure she set the record for most outfit changes in one session! I love the fearless attitude Naomi portrayed, her sweet smile and that beach ready hair! If you can't tell, she totally rocked this session at Mendon Ponds. Check out a few of her images and leave a comment below.

Happy senior year Naomi!
