Alyssa and Vince: Engagement Session in Pittsford NY

They met down the road at St. John Fisher College, but would come to Schoen Place in Pittsford to walk along the canal path together.

Then one day on vacation in California, Vince stopped the car along the ocean front to propose to Alyssa. Naturally, she said yes.

So a spring morning on the waterfront (albeit the canal, not the ocean) was the right choice for their engagement session. 

When he looks at Alyssa, her expression glows. And the way he held her close to keep her warm on a chilly spring day....sigh, adorable. It's easy to see that these two fit perfectly, and that they belong together.

What a great morning spent capturing a great relationship!

Fairport High School Senior Pictures: Kyle

Kyle has many sides, but one great personality - easy going and fun. He breezed through his senior portrait session with ease and even a little goofing off - because, who doesn't want to show off their best Heisman trophy pose whenever possible, right?

What I love about our seniors, is how involved they are in their community and their school. It provides so many awesome options for senior pictures. We covered everything from Kyle's Eagle Scout project at the Fairport food bank, to his signature bow tie look, and even got a little rugby action involved.

Oh, and by the way, a high school senior session with us is not complete until Mom gets in at least one photo in too. LOVE IT!

Blended Family Portraits: Victor NY

I had the pleasure of meeting Susan, David and sons at their home in Victor. With five boys between the ages of 14 and 21, it's not often you find them all in the same room! So this was a very special shoot and I was honored to capture these moments for them. 

Here are a few of the images we created for Cobblestone Living, a neighborhood magazine for those living near Cobblestone Creek Country Club.

Enjoy!

Green Practices in our Business: Photography in Rochester NY

I don't know about you, but I am pretty fond of our planet. I love being outdoors, smelling the clean air and hiking along sparkling waterways. It's our job to protect Mother Earth for the next generation, so they can enjoy her beauty as well.

So, what are we doing as a business to help the planet? I'm glad you asked!

 - We work from home, reducing auto emissions
 - We use minimal, but recycled, packaging
 - We reuse paper and packaging materials whenever possible
 - We recycle what we can't reuse
 - We send invoices and receipts electronically whenever possible
 - We use digital proofing, only printing ordered photos for less waste
 - Our marketing materials are printed on recycled papers when possible
 - We use rechargeable batteries for all of our gear
 - We shoot digital (no toxic chemicals or water waste like film)
 - We work with local printers and framers (good for the earth and the local economy!)
 - We grow our own veggies, and have even been known to give them a way! (Okay, that's not business related, but the garden is right outside the office window! Check it out next time you're here.)

We love the environment, and hope you do also! What are you doing to help the Earth? 

Here's wishing you a vibrant, green Earth Day!

6 months old: Rochester NY Family Portraits

I love family portraits and time at home! 

This little man has his mom, dad, and dogs completely wrapped around his adorable little fingers. Theo is one of happiest babies I have ever met. He loves to smile and giggle, whether it's at mom or one of his two lovable pups. He also loves reading and showing off his sitting skills, as you'll see. He's already starting to move, so watch out world! Here comes Theo.

XOXO,
Lori
