Family Pictures in Rochester NY
One of my favorite parts of family sessions is when the sweetest little moments just happen on their own. Like when Great Grandma let her granddaughter try on her ring and said, “Maybe this will be yours someday.”
It only lasted a moment, but it carried so much meaning in such a simple gesture. And because we were there that moment is now preserved forever.
Why Generational Family Portraits Matter
When multiple generations gather together for a family portrait session, it’s not just about documenting faces, rather it becomes a story of your family. It’s Great Grandma sharing a ring, they way kids laugh while twirling in a costume, or the way parents look at their kids with love.
These family pictures become more than images on a screen. They become heirlooms to remind of of where we come from and of the people who shape our lives. That little girl may inherit the ring one day. However, the photograph of the moment she first tried it on will be even more valuable.
Make Time for the In-Between Moments in Portrait Sessions
Life moves quickly. Kids grow up, grandparents age, and before long, seasons change. Taking the time to capture generational portraits and the candid moments that come with them is one way to press pause, even just for a moment, and create something lasting.
Whether it’s a quiet moment on the porch or a joyful family reunion, these portraits tell the story of your family in the here and now—and become a gift for the future.
