Fairport Family Pictures on the Erie Canal

In their many years of coming to us for family pictures, I don’t think we’ve ever photographed their family portraits this close to home. When I suggested it, they were on board with giving it a try.

Thomas Creek Boardwalk is one of our favorite hidden little gems in Fairport. It’s nestled in the Village of Fairport, right alongside the canal path. There are a few different background options to work with, and they’re not far apart, which was especially important to this family session as we were dodging rain showers to make these pictures happen!

Also, can we talk about their color coordination for a sec? Perfection. Thanks for staying on brand, friends!

Fairport NY Fall Family Pictures: Riley and Company

Riley was the star of her family portraits. This non stop toddler kept her whole family one their toes during their recent family portrait session in Fairport.

Because when your family pictures include only one grandchild, you can be sure that said grandchild will be the star of the show. This family definitely made this fall family session a fun moment to capture!

Fall is coming up fast? Want your own Fall family session?

Pittsford NY Family Pictures: Fairport NY Family Photographers

We are so lucky to get to watch all four of these kids grow up through their family pictures. What started with two has grown to a family of six and a lot of love.

This session at Mendon Ponds in Pittsford, was the just the right amount of play and portraits.

This crew takes advantage of our candid mini session events, but they also book separate family pictures, dedicated to just them every year. Because of this, we know them well and they are like family to us.

We are so grateful for these smiles.

Candid Family Portraits in Fairport NY: Earth Day Give Back

Our Candid Mini Session events are always meant to be more than a traditional posed family picture. Our goal is a blend of styles that captures your real life moments.

We aim to capture your real life moments.

We also have a desire to give back to our community as photographers in Fairport NY - especially when it comes to Earth Day.

April’s candid mini session event (part of our portrait membership) was planned in conjunction with Fairport’s Clean Sweep days. As a group, we volunteered to clean up a portion of the Erie Canal Path. Then we played at the playground.

The items gained from this event were more than just pictures. There was families giving back together and parents teaching their children the value of volunteering. We helped make a cleaner place to live, and we captured moments of families together.

It was an all around win as a far Fairport NY mini session events go.

Candid Mini Sessions: Sunflower Family Portraits at Wickham Farms

I’ll be honest, had it not been for the Pandemic, I don’t think we’d have chosen to play in the sunflowers. Because 2020 threw us the curveballs, we pivoted and made our events work safely for our members.

But that doesn’t mean we don’t want to do it again. In fact, some of the family portraits that we captured that night may be all time favorites of mine. It’s just that we’d never really considered it before.

I’m so glad we did though - I mean, look at these. Seriously though, do it, and when you’re done - find out how you can get yours next year.

Business Photography for Dentists in Rochester NY

Meet the friendly women of 585 Dentist! We wanted to show how welcoming their office is, and make clients feel at home. So rather than the usual, formal headshots, we created environmental portraits in their own space. No boring, fake backdrops necessary. We even got outside to take advantage of the fall foliage!

If you need a brand image refresh for your business, give us a call and let’s make something to feature your business here next!

Brighton Family Portraits at Home

A family with three kids under 8 is always on the move. Running, playing, and goofing around were all a part of their family portrait session at their home in Brighton.

We pulled out all the stops to get everyone in one location at the right time. There was silliness and a lot of gummies to go around. 

Their perfect Saturday sounds pretty amazing. They like to have a big family breakfast in the morning, then take an adventure together. At the end of the day they come home for a family movie night.

Where do we sign up? Because we want in on all of it.

2017 with LucasP: rochester photography

All honesty - 2017 wasn't my favorite year. I'm in a place right now, where I'd prefer to move forward, even though it's hard. Despite all of it's hardships, 2017 had some beautiful moments in the life of Lucas P and our journey as a family.

Lucas grew taller, his words come faster (and louder), his true personality emerging stronger every day. For weeks he wouldn't leave the house without a super hero cape or stormtrooper mask on. He still loves his trains, but now mixes his imaginary worlds together. Batman saves Thomas the Train, and Stormtroopers chase dinosaurs. Holding onto this boy's childhood moments have been a saving grace in the chaos.

Those who know me know that we experienced loss, but also immense love this year. Seriously it was intense and an other-worldly kind of love. It's the kind that leaves you dumbfounded and awestruck. I'd always known it was there, but never fully experienced and felt until this year.

If there's anything I can leave you with from this year, (other than some cute family photos) - it's this.

Don't hesitate to take the pictures. The moment might not be perfect, or the lighting not ideal, or your make up is not on. Some of the photos from this year of my life are literally the last of their kind. I'll never be able to recreate these photos. Take the picture - because someone who loves you, might need to hold onto that photo tomorrow.

These photos bring me smiles, laughs and sometimes tears. But they're reminders of a life that's full, and lived and loved. They're something else to hold on to - keeping me tethered in the storm and giving me a reminder to keep showing up, even if it's pouring.

Because when the rain finally stops, I know I'll see the rainbow.

With love, and hope for a brighter year,

Erin

Special thank You to NorthGlow Photography for our family session this year!

First Birthday Party Photography, Fairport NY

Chloe wasn't sure about her first bites of birthday cake, but she sure loved the toys at her 1st birthday party! Mom and Dad planned her an awesome "Under the Sea" themed party which lots of family and friends came out to enjoy. Chloe flashed her smile all day long and enjoyed opening her gifts. Can you believe her mom made that cake? How cute! 

It has been my pleasure watching this little family grow, and I felt like part of the family while photographing this milestone for them. Looking forward to the next one, she'll be walking in no time!

xoxo,
Lori
