Penfield High School Senior Portrait Session: Omer, Class of 2024

Omer is a great guy, and a member of the graduating Class of 2024.

He plays basketball and football for fun, as well as enjoys an occasional visit to Grimes Glen. So when we planned his senior portrait session, we wanted there to be water nearby.

He’s the kind of kid who always seems to have a smile on his face, and that really showed in his senior pictures at Linear Park.

Between his outfit choice, his beaming smile and the fall colors around us, we think that Omer’s senior pictures really glow.

Congratulations, Omer, on your graduation!

Penfield NY Senior Pictures: Eric, Penfield High School

Senior Portraits for Football Players in Rochester NY

Eric is graduating from Penfield High School in 2024.

After a quick outfit change from his casual, every day high school senior look, we headed to the football field.

We photographed his senior pictures in as many places on the field as we could, including under the bleachers. The red background of the bleachers really made his senior portraits stand out.

He was both fun and fierce looking throughout his entire senior session, and it was a blast getting to know him.

Congrats Eric!

Family Pictures at Kennelly Park in Fairport

This family always likes to have fun with their family pictures. The last time we saw them, we went mini golfing with them. This time they were celebrating the littlest's first birthday, and they hit up Moonlight Creamery for an ice cream celebration.

But first, we captured some portraits of the whole family. We updated each child’s individual portrait, with a focus on their newly minted one year old.

Then after the family pictures were taken care of, it was time to celebrate with baby’s first ice cream cone!

A Fairport NY Senior Portrait Session: Dylan, Fairport High School

Dylan is a Class of 2024 High School Senior. In the fall, we photographed his senior pictures along the Canal Path in the Village of Fairport.

Dylan is a senior with a great sense of humor and loves good food. He’s also an animal lover and enjoys a good movie.

He wasn’t as excited for his senior portraits as his parents might have been, but as we got to know each other, he started to relax. And then his natural smile started to appear in his senior pictures.

Candid Mini Sessions: Family Pictures at the Beach in Rochester NY

Beach lovers, unite! As family portrait photographers, we get excited every year about the possibilities for fun this Candid Mini Session bring. Here's why Family Mini Sessions at the beach are the ultimate fun-filled experience:

  1. Perfect for All Ages

    The beach is a wonderful place for people of all ages. Kids can build sandcastles, run in the water, or simply explore the shore. Teens and adults can enjoy peaceful strolls, play beach games or just rest in the sand. No matter your age, the beach offers something for everyone, making it the ideal location for a family mini session.

  2. Relaxed Atmosphere

    There’s something about the sound of crashing waves and warm sand that creates a relaxed atmosphere that allows families to be themselves and have fun. Unlike family portraits in a studio environment, the beach allows for natural interactions and genuine expressions. Kids can run freely, splash in the water, or build sandcastles, giving us as photographers the opportunity to capture candid family pictures.

  3. Fun Activities

    Our beach Candid Mini Sessions aren't only about posing for family pictures. They provide an excellent opportunity for families to enjoy a variety of activities together. From playing with beach toys to splashing in the waves, this playfulness adds a touch of joy and real life to the sessions.

  4. Natural Lighting and Stunning Sunsets

    As the golden hour sets in, beaches are blessed with glorious natural light, often creating a soft and dreamy atmosphere for your family portraits.

Family pictures at the beach are a great way capture precious moments while enjoying the natural beauty of the beach together.  So beach lovers, what are you waiting for?

3 Things You Can do with Fresh Branding Images

Recently we had the opportunity to join forces with the team at Serendipity Labs to host a Happy Hour with a side of Personal Brand Portraits, and we have to say—they were AWESOME!

Each attendee got to mingle, have a snack and a drink, AND get a micro brand photography session, where they walked away with an updated branding image to use however they needed it!

Why is that such a big deal? I mean, what can you do with new brand photographs anyway?!

Candid Mini Sessions at Egypt Park in Victor NY

One of the things I love the most about the families that come to our Candid Mini Sessions is all of the ways that they are constantly changing.

Like when a family, (who have been clients since their wedding) gets a new puppy.

Or when a family is celebrating the end of their home school year.

Or even just celebrating the fact that last time you were here at this playground, your child couldn’t climb the rock wall, but this time it was a piece of cake.

This mixture of family portraits and candid photography is how we help you remember all of the big and little moments of growth. It’s why our this version of family pictures exist.

If you see her, give this Class of 2024 Senior a huge congrats from us!
