Family Pictures in Victor NY with the Whole Family

Extended family pictures hold a special place in our hearts as they bring together multiple generations under one frame. The joy and love that emanate from a 50th wedding anniversary celebration is truly remarkable. It is a testament to a couple's commitment and the enduring bonds they have built with their loved ones over the years.

For this family, the anniversary came during the pandemic, so they made up for that with their family portraits over the summer. There were a lot of laughs, and some beautiful classic cars involved in this Victor NY portrait session!

I mean, come on, how gorgeous is this pink Chevrolet? And the adorable couple is pretty great too, right?

Apple Picking Candid Mini Sessions: Victor NY Family Portraits

We took a lemon of a year, and turned it into safe family mini sessions. How about them apples?

Ok yeah sorry, that was terrible. What wasn’t terrible, (in fact it was the complete opposite) was our annual apple picking, candid mini member event.

We’ve been photographing our member families long enough to remember when some of our older members were our youngest members. I distinctly remember images and moments from those portrait session events.

That’s what I love about our candid member mini sessions; I love capturing these same smiles, year after year as they go from babies to little kids. It’s such an honor to stay a part of their lives on a regular basis.

Curious about what I mean by “candid member mini sessions” yet? Don’t be shy, find out more information!

Victor NY Winter Family Pictures

It’s no secret that we don’t have a studio to shoot in. Background sets and props have never been big in our bag of tricks. We prefer a setting that feels comfortable to our families - and during the winter, the location we most often use is - at home.

When we suggest that to people, most of the time our families think they don’t have the right house for family portrait sessions at home. We disagree.

You’d be surprised what we can do in your space, and in the winter too. Snow is fun and pretty in your pictures. And as long as you’re having fun as a family, your image are going to be beautiful.

For example - these guys, they’re the first family I ever photographed all those years ago. Granted, they are also my family. I’m so thankful for their trust in me throughout the years.

Enjoy a peek into our session this year!

Summertime Family Portraits in Victor NY

This adorable family loves to spend time outside together when they can, whether they're hiking, riding horses or around the neighborhood on the golf cart.

I caught up with them, and their two cats for a Cobblestone Living portrait session. For a little something different, we even included some time on the golf cart, which really mades this preschooler happy!

I had a blast chasing around their 3 year old and getting to know them while I did. What a cute and fun family portrait session! :)

Cobblestone Living Family Portraits

I met them at their brand new home - so brand new, that they'd just signed the paperwork as I arrived to photograph them! It made finding areas to shoot within their home pretty easy without furniture to fight with lighting!

These three are adorable. Especially Jack, Heidi and Mike's "almost" 1 year old. Whether out for a walk, or enjoying a drink together on the patio, they love to be together as a family - whether breakfast, lunch or dinner.

Honestly, at this stage in their family life, that's what it's all about. They don't want to miss these moments together as a family of three. With cuteness like this, I can't say that I blame them.

Together is their favorite place to be - and I'm loving it.

Active Winter Family Portraits: Victor NY Photography

Jocelyn, a physical trainer, and her family of boys are certainly active!

Whether skiing/snowboarding in the winter, or swimming in the summer, they are always up to something that keeps them on the move.

I loved goofing around with these guys (check out the monkey faces!) and playing in the snow with Teddy, their most adorable little pooch!

If you can't tell, they're a pretty fun family! Say hi down below!

Family and Pizza: Victor NY Family Portraits

What a treat it is to work with fellow entreprenurial families. In this case, it's no exaggeration to say that the whole family is all hands on deck when it comes to their pizzeria - DeTomaso's Pizzeria in Victor NY.

They're also a lot of fun to photograph. We laughed a lot at each other during their portrait session both at their home and at the pizzeria. Siblings tend to have that effect on each other sometimes.

I enjoyed their playfulness and skills - even when nearly ate snow because I made the mistake of asking an eight year old to flip snow at me with her hockey stick. Lessons learned!

If you want to meet the fam, stop on in to the shop and grab a slice of pizza. Say hello and enjoy!

Hamburg Family: Victor NY Family Portraits

This little family is so cute. They're the next family in the Cobblestone Living series. It made so me happy to capture their portraits, even if their littlest, Alex was a little tired as we did.

One of my favorite moments was when we captured big sister, Audrey, reading prayers to her little brother on her bed. Little siblings together are so sweet and adorable.

Here's a few portraits from our session together - just look at these cuties and their parents too!

Cobblestone Portraits: Victor NY Family Session

This beautiful Cobblestone neighborhood family is fun, smart and very active! The kids (though they're more like adults) are crazy athletic. They are in everything from baseball to basketball to gymnastics.

Mom's idea of a perfect Saturday is one where they don't have the chaos of activity, and they can spend rare time together at home. So at their home, we recently made a few portraits of the family for the Cobblestone magazine - where they all actually had the chance to be home at the same time!

Besides that, anytime we get to meet and include the family pup as well is a good time for us.

If you see them in the neighborhood, say hi!

Family Portraits in Victor NY: Family pictures at the Pool

When I think of my favorite sessions, they often go something like this. A few portraits around the house, and then let the kids play!

That's exactly what we did. We had a great morning in Victor with this family of five. All of the kids love lacrosse, so they got their uniforms on and showed me some of their skills. They raced around the yard and then jumped into the pool to cool off... in their clothes! I love this shot of them all in the air doing something slightly different.

Thanks for being you, and letting me be the witness! 

Cheers!

Victor NY Family Portraits in Cobblestone Neighborhood

Family portraits in the front yard? Sure! The cobblestone on their home made a wonderful background and everyone was a joy to work with. Especially Tucker! Such a sweet golden doodle. Of course, you know me - I am a sucker for adorable dogs. :)

There's a possibility that you may recognize mom in this family, as Jamie is a well known realtor in Rochester. She has a great eye for home design and is always up on all the latest trends. I would definitely consider giving her a call if you are in the market for a new home!

Want to be the next family seen here on our blog? Give us a shout and we can make it happen!

Victor NY Family Portraits

These kids are growing up in front of my camera, and way too darn fast. I have so many amazing memories over the years of watching them grow. 

But I only get to update their family portrait once a year. So we visited a park near their home - where we watched turtles in the pond and pretended to be Batman.

I'm enjoying each and every chance I get to be around them. Because they're silly, smart, caring, and so much fun. I'm lucky that they're my family, so I get to see them more than once a year. 

I look at them now and see how much they've grown over the years. It's amazing to see that in their portraits and realize that this adventure started seven years ago. I love spending time with them and being a part of their lives in this important way.
