My Whole Family
I have already preached it. THESE sessions are important. AND beautiful.
Every baby needs a photos with their grandparents. I think only those who were unable to make it happen can preach it more then I.
And I kinda think this family had a lot of fun. Mimosas? On a gorgeous morning? Walking around their home? Perfection!

Sweet and Simple | Rochester, NY Newborn Photographer
This new Mama is in love. She is so lucky to have a beautiful big sister helper. This joined family is perfect together. I loved getting to celebrate their newest little love. She was perfection.
Little girl babies are so dainty. I love watching the session evolve as the parents pick out colors and details to use in the photos. Of course it has my style. BUT I think it is overwhelmingly YOUR style.
Let's get your session on the books- start here!

Daddy and Me
This daddy received this session as a gift! I realize many Dad's don't love a photo session. They don't like wake up in the morning thinking, "Today, I really feel like chasing my children around in an outfit I would never wear that my wife picked out, being told where to stand and allow my child to behave like a maniac." Yikes! Yes! It can feel that way. My goal and (one of this years resolution plans) is to steer away from that!
I want there to be less pressure. I don't know if dad (or mom) will ever truly love a photo session. BUT I know you love the results! I also know this dad is a super hero! He got all these handsome boys dressed and here to the studio. They had a blast and we were finished in about 25ish minutes.
Let me kiss you boo boo | Rochester, NY Newborn Photographer
That is what she said?!?! This big sister is like, she needs her own reality show. She is darling and kind and tender. I know why. Her mommy and daddy are some of the funniest, but really kindest, most tender people I know. They care for people for a living. They have to be! (But I think they love it too!).
Now they have TWO MORE BABIES! I'm not kidding when I say they make it look easy. I know it isn't of course. BUT they smile the whole time.

Big Little Brother | Rochester, NY Newborn Photographer
I mean?!?!? This big brother? He melts me. He was such a great little participator. These two are going to be best buds immediately.
Little man slept like his whole session. And smiled. (Folks, this is not typical, he made it seem easy).
I have been combing my antique spots for all sorts of new bins and accessories. I love, love this wagon. It was a favorite buy years ago. Now looking for new things. Fairly obsessive about this kind of thing.

Moving Home to Iceland
This family came in to get some portraits from their temporary home in Rochester before moving back to their home in Iceland!
Their little lad was fairly exhausted! But honestly, it made him even cuter. If that is possible.
He laughed only when tickled. And he would shake his head no if he didn't like something we were showing him to make him laugh. Ha! I loved it.

Sana 6 Months
This is Mama's little girl. I loved spending the first year with her! I got to photograph her 2nd child a couple years ago. This is their 3rd child. The only girl. Mama knows how to do it right with all the girly frills.
I was just having a conversation the other day with a photographer friend. About wardrobe. Lots of times I see people pinning photo ideas on Pinterest. I wonder what it is about those photos they like? I wonder if they know what it is about those photos THEY like.
Many times it is wardrobe. This little pink dress is like spectacular. I mean this baby girl is spectacular. Her eyes?!?!? Her Smile?!?! BUT people the wardrobe matters. Go the extra mile. Reap the rewards.
Set up your session here.

Mommy and Me 2016
These were at the Inn on the Lake in Canandaigua really minutes before a storm!
It was blustery and very "lakeside" weather.
BUT we got done just what we needed to! Some sweet photos with 2 generations of Mommies!

Soon-to-be party of 4
Our new studio space is just about complete. This family was the first to have their session there with Paul!
Mr. Handsome loved interacting with the camera. 3 year olds are never and I mean never easy. But when are they? He was so much fun!
Don't fear coming to have portraits because you think your child would never behave. Not many do. We have lots of tricks up our sleeves!

The Spencer Family
The studio is great. I have so many beautiful props for babies and I love it for maternity. But I really love coming to families homes for their sessions. I know lots of people don't think they're home is beautiful enough for a photo session. But I strongly disagree.
Your home is so many things. It's your pets, your kids bedrooms where they play. It's the view you look at all the time. It's your front door. It's really a window into the lives of you and your children when they're little.
Don't hesitate to have me come to your home. Part of my skill is finding beautiful spots. This family loves their view from their backyard, so that's where we spent most of our time. I love to be at candid moments with the families and the kids. Their dog stayed right with us the whole time. I did no wrangling, she just did what she did and it was perfect.

Five
There are so many different milestones.
I think every family has things that are milestones to them.
Five is a big one or whatever age you send your little one off to kindergarten.
It is often the last time I'll see your Littles for a while, as they start the dreaded school photos.
It's kind of like your last little time with your baby before they turn into a big kid.
