Jacob | Senior 2022

Congratulations Jacob!

If there is one thing we can say about Jacob, its that he is a truck guy who loves Football! He also played for Clyde-Savanah while he was in school. It was obvious to us that he is a sports loving outdoors kind of guy so naturally we had to hit one of our favorite locations for his Senior Session, Mendon Ponds Park.

Mendon Ponds Park is STUNNING for all kinds of occasions with its landscapes and glowy light. It covers over 2500 acres of woodlands, ponds, and wetlands. It is a perfect combination for those looking to get a variety of looks in one session be it an open field, nature/florals, or an old cobblestone building there is something for everyone here!

BRITTON - Senior 2022

CONGRATULATIONS Britton!

Britton is the Daughter of our incredible photographer & co-owner at North Glow, Paul. As you can see being in front of the camera, she is an absolute NATURAL!

Her photos were taken at Memorial Art Gallery located on University Avenue and the George Eastman House on East Avenue. Both of these locations offer stunning arts and history but if you’re looking for stunning landscapes, then Eastman House is the perfect choice! With multiple gardens and tons of different vibes throughout.

We have really enjoyed having Britton work side by side with us this year creating beautiful Albums for our clients but we have to wish her good luck and bon voyage as she is off to Houghton in the Fall!

GOOD LUCK IN THE FALL, BRITTON!

CONGRATULATIONS ANA!

We can’t believe ANA is graduating!

Ana’s Senior Portraits were taken at Ellison Park which is one of our FAV parks to shoot at! It has covered approximately 200 acres of woodland area since it was gifted to Monroe County in 1926. Due to it size and coverage with various stunning landscapes, there are so many different looks that can be achieved when photographing here.

Ella - Senior 2022

CONGRATULATIONS ELLA

Senior portraits are so much fun!!

We were so excited when we were asked to do Ella’s Senior Portraits. After all, we have been photographing her family since she was a baby! It truly brings us so much joy when we get to watch a family grow from a young age. It’s almost as if we get to be part of their life journey.

We took her portraits all around the Honeoye Falls area which has so many stunning photo op locations! Here are a few of our favorites from her session.

Senior Portraits | 2022

Senior portrait sessions are a rite of passage for many high school students. It's a chance to capture a moment in time before moving on to the next phase of life.

One of the most picturesque locations for senior portrait sessions in Canandaigua, NY is Sonnenberg Gardens. With its stunning gardens and historic mansion, Sonnenberg Gardens provides the perfect backdrop for capturing timeless senior portraits.

The present mansion was designed and completed between 1886-1887 by Boston architect Francis Allen

When planning a senior portrait session at Sonnenberg Gardens, there are a few things to keep in mind. First, it's important to choose the right time of year. The gardens are in full bloom from May through October, so scheduling a session during this time will ensure that you have the best possible backdrop for your photos.

Another consideration is the time of day. The gardens are open from 9:30 am to 4:30 pm, so scheduling your session early in the morning or late in the afternoon will help you avoid crowds and ensure that you have plenty of time to capture the perfect shots.

When it comes to choosing outfits for your senior portrait session, it's important to keep the location in mind. Sonnenberg Gardens is a formal setting, so choosing dressy or semi-formal attire will complement the elegance of the surroundings. Soft pastels, floral patterns, and light, flowy fabrics are all great options for outfits that will look great against the backdrop of the gardens.

During your session, there are plenty of great locations to choose from within the gardens. The Rose Garden which features red, pink, and white blooms, The Japanese Garden which was created in 1906 with miniature detailing in the landscape, and The Italian Garden that offers over 7,000 gold and red annuals all offer stunning backdrops for photos. The mansion itself is also a great spot for photos, with its grand staircase and ornate architecture providing a dramatic backdrop.

Blue flowers mentioned in historical documents that are planted today include, blue ageratums, blue delphinium, and blue salvia.

Whether you're a high school senior looking to capture this momentous time in your life, or a photographer looking for a picturesque location for a portrait session, Sonnenberg Gardens in Canandaigua, NY is the perfect choice. With its stunning gardens and historic mansion, it provides a timeless backdrop for capturing memories that will last a lifetime.

White blossoms included sweet alyssum, campanula, phlox, hyacinth, and agapanthus.

The “Blue & White Garden” is located off the Northwest corner of the Mansion Veranda

This garden contains only blue and white blooms and was said to be the favorite of Mrs. Thompson, who purchased the property with her husband in 1863 as Newlyweds
