Candid Family Mini Sessions: St. Patricks' Day Scavenger Hunt
One thing’s for sure - the family pictures we take at our candid mini session events are nothing if they’re not real. We plan the events, and essentially hope for nice weather. While it was sunny for our Pot of Gold Scavenger hunt, it was also pretty windy.
But that didn’t stop our family portrait members from bringing their “A” game to the Leprechaun Trap contest.
One of the values behind the portrait membership program centers on the idea of doing something together.
While we couldn’t photograph each family at home making these amazing traps, we know it was an activity they’ll remember doing together. Especially when they look back at their family pictures with their trap, and on the scavenger hunt as a family.
Time spent together is more important to us than the perfect family picture. This is why we believe that our candid mini sessions make sense for your next family portrait session. You can actually read more about that here!
Congrats to the winners of our contest - The Miller family!
Sisters Lauren and Natalie, Class of 2026 seniors from Williamson High School, shared a fun and meaningful senior portrait session at Sonnenberg Gardens. As soccer teammates and close friends, their laughter and connection made these senior pictures memorable.
Carlton’s senior pictures were anything but ordinary. This Brighton High School Class of 2026 senior describes himself as relaxed, active, and outdoorsy - and it showed. When his mom joined in for a playful water fight, the laughter and candid moments made for unforgettable senior photos.
Aleks, a Clarence High School Class of 2026 senior, brought her love of figure skating and architecture together in her senior portrait session—on the ice and at UB’s Abbott Library.

Abby, a Class of 2026 senior from Victor High School, wanted something classic and timeless for her senior pictures which were completely different from her sister’s bold, graffiti-inspired session. Her portraits at Sonnenberg Gardens captured her natural beauty, confidence, and elegant style among the historic architecture and blooming gardens.
Moody skies, a glowing canal, and a hauntingly beautiful sound — Hailey Kait’s brand photography session in Fairport, NY captured her mysterious, nostalgic vision. From headshots to album art, each portrait reflects her indie acoustic style and soulful artistry.
Erin’s creative background roots began with her family and her education in Digital Media/Fine Arts degree at Canisius College. While she enjoys a good adventure, Erin is most comfortable at home with family (husband, Matt and son, Lucas) or friends, a good book, and a cup of coffee.
