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!
This personal brand photography session in Rochester marks the third time we’ve photographed Gerriann of Voice Over Speech Pathology. From her early home office session to her growing team’s fun, urban shoot at High Falls, each session has reflected her brand’s growth and personality.
See highlights from this extended family photo session at Wickham Farms in Rochester, NY. A golden evening full of laughter, love, and genuine connection.
This Rochester family wanted something different for their family portraits, so instead of fields and fall colors, they chose the High Falls district. The mix of brick, stone, and city views created a fun, urban backdrop that perfectly matched their personality and made for portraits that truly felt like them.
Branding photography doesn’t have to mean stiff poses and white walls. Learn how one client’s session at Swillburger brought her personality to life—and why fun, authentic photos make your brand stand out.
At one of our recent sessions, a great grandmother slipped off her ring, let her granddaughter try it on, and said, “Maybe this will be yours someday.” That simple, fleeting moment captured so much love, tradition, and connection—and it’s exactly why generational family portraits are so important. These portraits are more than just pictures; they become heirlooms that carry your family’s story forward for years to come.
Last fall, we had the pleasure of photographing a beautiful family of five at the Eastman Museum in Rochester, NY. Surrounded by vibrant autumn foliage and classic architecture, their love and connection shone through in every frame. See how we captured these cherished memories!
Chase Farms mini sessions have become a favorite fall tradition for families in Fairport, NY. From golden autumn light to festive Halloween costumes, these sessions capture the magic of the season. Whether your little one is dressed as a princess, a superhero, or a tiny pumpkin, these moments are priceless. Join us next October to create your own cherished memories!
A family portrait session at Tinker Park with a two-year-old who loves to run and her parents who love to chase. This fall session captures the joy of spending time together, embracing the energy of a toddler, and enjoying the beauty of autumn in a relaxed, natural setting.

When you have a baby and a toddler, life is equal parts sweet and chaos—and that’s exactly what makes family portraits so special. This Powder Mills Park session included everything from bubble play to quiet snuggles, perfectly capturing the mix of moments that make this family unique.
