21 family members, all in together in town for a brief moment in time. What a great idea to get one big family portrait! We're so glad they called us to capture them all together, and some separate family shots. It may have been a short session, but it really went off without a hitch. And on top of that, we had time for a little silliness with the kids too! What fun!

Until next time! - Erin
The Fourth of July is a time for vacations, family, and fun. Years ago, this family's story originated here in Brockport, NY. As they grew up and started their own families, they moved to other areas of the United States. That's what makes this session so special. They all came back home with their kids, to vacation together over the holiday at their parents cottage, on the shores of Lake Ontario. Naturally with everyone home, it was also the perfect time to capture their family portrait!
It was definitely not an easy feat to get 5 children and 8 adults, in one family photograph together - but we made it happen, and we're so glad we were able to do this for such a wonderful, growing family.

We caught up with Carter, Cameron and Cole at Mendon Ponds Park last week for a fun, playful, outdoor session. They even brought along Daisy, the family dog, to play! These boys were full of energy and spunk. I love the RGB color scheme and the liveliness it brings to the images. We even got mom and dad in there for a couple family portraits. Enjoy this little glimpse!
Thanks for hanging out with us! Until next time, Lori
From day one, no - hour one, our mom's have always been there for us. With everything from clean clothes and warm food to unconditional love and support. Today is the day we celebrate them - so here's some special notes from us to them. There are not enough words of thanks that I could give my mom for all of that. And as I enter the world of parenthood myself, I'm proud to have her beside me, because I have a feeling I'll need her more than ever! Everything I know about being a mom comes from her and I look forward to my little one calling her "Grandma." I love you Momma - Happy Mother's Day! ~ Erin
My mom is better than your mom, na-na-na-na-na-na. No really, she is awesome. She is the most selfless person I know and an incredible role model. When I grow up, I want to be just like my mom. :) Mom, thank you for all you have given me and all that you are. I love you! -Lori
So to our moms, grandmas, aunts, cousins, friends and clients, Happy Mother's Day! -Lori and Erin
Sharing our days with you and your families is so special to us. We love capturing everything from the wedding to those newborn tiny little feet, and watching them grow. We enjoy being a part of your lives, while we continue to live our own. But there's nothing like watching a family grow, especially if it's your own!
So without further ado, I'm excited to share some great news about my own little family. We've been waiting ever so impatiently to tell the world! Check it out in the video below!
Yes, we are soon to be welcoming two tiny new feet into the family! So for now, I'm going to put aside my wine, and enjoy a little extra ice cream instead. Thank you to our family and friends who have supported us this far, and will continue to do so as we enter this amazing, yet totally sleep deprived, new chapter of our lives! We can't wait for you to meet him or her in September!
With Love, Erin, Matt and Baby Perrotta
When she asked me if we had time for a portrait session, I knew. Something in the way she worded things gave her away. So when she pulled her "prop" out of the closet, the "I knew it!" could have been heard down the street. Now that I finally have her permission to share this news with my world, I'm so excited to share the photographs she used to tell her family the big announcement. My long time BFF, (am I still young enough to use that term?) is expecting a new addition to their already beautiful family. What more is there to say really? I'm thrilled, excited and even nervous for them as they write the next chapter in their story.
Writing this, and seeing the joy on their faces in these pictures brings tears to my eyes. I can't wait to snuggle him or her, and watch them grow. Mike, Sarah and Chris - I love you always, and one more time congratulations!

This session was the last of her first year series. We danced along to Jack Johnson, read a story, and did a little snowboarding. Yes, you read that right, snowboarding. When she was born, her Daddy wanted a few newborn photos to include his snowboard. So a year later, when we found ourselves with actual snow on the ground - we got the board out again! Getting to capture her growth throughout her first year has been an honor. Each time we visited, we saw her personality emerge a little bit more. And wow, her smiles light up the room. So much fun to be had - we would have played all day... but we need nap time sometimes too. :)

Amy & Steve | Married 2 1/2 years | Love the classic dinner and movie on a Saturday night. Pretty rare these days though... Katie | 1 year | Loves feeding Winnie puffs. Wow...this is a hard one because there is so much she likes to do and it changes all the time! Favorite way to celebrate life together: Spending time with our friends and family. We especially love taking Winnie and Katie on hikes. What makes a good portrait: Photos that are candid and natural. Anything else: We look forward to Lori and Erin capturing many more beautiful photos of our family in years to come.
What better way to celebrate your first birthday than with an at home family portrait session? Ok, maybe with some cake and ice cream. But beyond that, a portrait session! Lily is an easy going girl who just loves to play, climb stairs and read. We hung out around the house, read some books and played with her favorite toys. I loved how proud she was of herself when she climbed the stairs! Don't worry, mom was a step away ready to catch her. What a cutie!
Enjoy the sneak peek into this day in the life of a one year old!

Happy Birthday Lily!
The title really says it all - they're fun to be around, loving, and pretty darn adorable... and that is just the kids. Oh what the hey, Mom and Dad aren't bad either. I don't get to see these guys that often, but I love them all to pieces. While they were in town for a family birthday party, we had the chance to get their yearly family portrait in. I love doing this every year for them, because I get to document their family as they grow together. I love it, and them, so much. Thank you to my family, for being so special, and for being such a huge part of why I do what I do. Enjoy! ~ Erin

Ever wonder how long it might take to get the image on the right? About 15 laps around the tree by a running two year old! He loved it, and so do I!

Ok, as a woman with a younger brother, I LOVE the image on the right. So true to life!

We last saw these guys in the fall at the wedding of Bri and Anthony. The littlest one here was still in the oven at that time, and his big brother was the ring bearer. My how much changes in just a few months! It was so nice to catch up with these guys and capture a whole new chapter in their family's life. We got the whole group together for a group photograph, and then spent a lot of time with the three littlest. It took some coaxing to get these adorable expressions from these cute cousins, but we all agree, it was worth it.
