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!

You don’t need a large office to create impactful brand photos. In fact, branding photography in small spaces often feels more authentic and approachable. Recently, we photographed a therapist in her one-room Fairport office and captured a full gallery that highlighted her warmth and professionalism. Small spaces can tell your story beautifully and connect you with your audience in a real way.

To celebrate the release of her second book, The Perimenopause Survival Guide, Dr. Heather Hirsch updated her branding photos to reflect her growth as a women’s health advocate and author.

A branding session gives you more than a polished headshot. You’ll walk away with a mix of professional portraits, lifestyle images, behind the scenes moments, and storytelling details that show who you are and how you work. These images help you build trust, connect with your audience, and create a cohesive presence across your website and social media.
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.
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.
