Extended Family Portraits at the Lamberton Conservatory, Rochester NY

Last time I saw this group, Emerson was Preston’s age, and Preston didn’t exist! My how time flies. It was so wonderful to catch up with everyone again, this time enjoying the warmth and greenery of the conservatory while it snowed outside.

The boys are definitely the stars of this show, and it’s obvious they love their parents and grandparents. I know these photos will be treasured now, and as they grow older.

Thanks for stopping by, and enjoy this winter holiday celebration of three generations!

The Importance of Generational Family Portraits

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.
