A Beautiful Family Session on Canandaigua Lake

Extended Family Pictures in the Finger Lakes

An extended family session at Canandaigua Lake is one of the most picturesque spots in the Finger Lakes. The peaceful lake and natural light provided an ideal backdrop for capturing this multi-generational gathering.

The family came together in coordinated outfits of soft blues and neutrals, blending seamlessly with the lake's landscape. It was a laid-back session with everyone enjoying the moment, making it easy to capture genuine, candid shots.

One of the highlights was photographing the family on the dock with Canandaigua Lake stretching out behind them. They have a little bit of a fun feeling to them, with their laughter and even a kiss or two for some whimsy.
