Class of 2018, Senior Portraits, Yes, it is time.
We love SENIOR PORTRAITS over here at North Glow!
Already know you want to work with us:
Last year we called our Senior brand: Identity.
That took a lot of thought. Senior photography is totally it's own thing.
To us everything is about YOU.
Of course, we have a style and a method. We are totally light driven and obsessed with your personality and your story. We seek out interesting locations with major input from you.
In the end these images should represent your identity, personality, you, now.
Some things to think about:
1. Dates: All the sudden it is April? Well, all the sudden it will be November. Seriously. Let's get this scheduled while you are thinking about it.
We take on around 15 seniors a year. We want you to be one.
Spring Senior Sessions: April 1st - May 1st: We give you a discounted session for getting it done early! $495
This includes your 2-3 locations and 20 digital files.
Early Bird Booking: Until May 1st. ($50 off!): Book any date in 2017 by this date and get the discount!
Senior Model Applications in: May 1st. What is this? Earn your senior portraits? Be a model for us? You want all the info. Email us! northglowphotography@gmail.com
PRIME SESSION DATES: June 17th-Sept. 2nd. There are about 8 Weekend dates available in there. And weekday evenings.
2. The PREP
Wardrobe? Hair? Make up? What to buy? Where to go?
We are offering a little prep class! Seriously. Come into the studio. Chat about all these things.
Meet us:
June 22nd
4-7pm
1350 Pittsford Mendon Rd. Mendon
3. How do you choose a photographer?!? It is truly a jungle out there. Honestly we are super lucky in the Rochester area. There are a lot of great choices.
What we recommend:
1. Decide if you want a professional? This is someone who likely has a studio. Does photography full time. Is majorly focused on this area and has all the good stuff. Access to all the products you want and experience to get you what you want done, well, the first time.
2. Ask for recommendations. Or did you see a great photo that you like? Ask who did it.

It's all in focus..or so you thought?
Picture this: It's a beautiful sunny day and your kids are playing outside together like civilized human beings..its a cookie cutter kodak moment and one you can't afford to miss capturing! You grab your camera and snap a pic..upload it to your computer and its all blurry. A perfect moment missed due to a simple (and fixable) error in judgement!
Here some tips to make sure that all your kodak moments are as crisp as they can be!
1) As anything goes the quality of the picture depends on the quality of your equipment. Now I don't mean that you have to have the most ridiculously expensive camera and lens to make sure that its a crystal clear photograph, just making sure that the camera and/or equipment you do have is clean and functioning properly! Dust, sand, smudge marks and even finger prints are all things that effect the quality of the photograph you are trying to take! Clean it up folks.
2) Take into consideration the lighting of the area you're in! Whether its an outdoor scene or indoors any camera is going to try and focus on the brightest area in your field of view. So while you may think your kids are the main focus, your camera may be focusing on the bright white wall behind you or maybe the living room lamp. This means that you might have to move around the space to ensure that the lighting is optimal for the subject you're trying to capture! Or take a leap and try selecting your focal points? (Did I scare you there, get that manual out and look into it!)
3) Ready, Steady, Shoot! Make sure you try to keep yourself and the camera as steady as possible! if you're prone to shaky hands try a tripod or even use a table to steady yourself on! (I hold my breath, seriously, I do).

Style Shoot @ The Cub Room Rochester | Rochester Photography
What better way to warm up on a snowy winter day then a cozy style shoot at a swanky little restaurant!
With a little Help from our friends at Sweet Honey Events and Flower Power Decor, we had the place looking quaint as ever! And it helped that we had some super stylish models thanks to Beth Roberts of Jane Vintage!
With The Cub Room as our setting it was like stepping back in time to a 1920's Speak easy!
Heather From Sweet Honey decided on the concept of Cocktail Revival. She carried it out flawlessly.
Her planning business is totally unique with a focus on sustainability her ideas are so incredible. I love talking with her.
Our models are of course a real life couple, obvious by their beautiful connection.
Style shoots are our opportunity to get out and work with favorite and new vendors in the Rochester area.
So inspiring. We get to play with light and posing and keep our wedding skills sharp during the off season.
The Cub Room absolutely does events! You should totally consider them. Super original space with such cool, chill vibe. They have different areas and coves which we loved using. The hallway to the bathroom was a favorite of ours! Ha! We tend to obsessively scope out a venue to find the best! I promise, it is always like a scavenger hunt that only we are on. BUT so worth it!
Enjoy these!

Boudoir, The Get To Know Me, Session | Rochester, NY Boudoir photography
I hate the word MINI.
There is nothing mini about anything we do here!
Let's call these from now on, an EVENT!
It is almost that blasted holiday...
I hate it. I'm sorry, but I do. It is so over done. One half of you as a couple are overthinking, dreaming, obsessing. And the other half is likely unaware what month it is.
Those of us who have something to sell are kinda boxed into programing our calendars around these dates. They are like pre-packaged marketing pin points.
It is cute because hearts? red? love? I love all those things!
It is just the expectations, the pressure, and the norm.
Let's kinda use this prepackaged holiday as a trigger and jump off from there!
Come do a "Get to Know Me" Session with boudoir!
I know you are curious. Likely nervous. Perhaps just totally excite and waiting for the right moment.
These will take place at our new studio!
I will have 2 areas you can use and you can bring 2 "outfits".
We (you and I) will spend about 15 minutes with each look.
I will lead you! You don't have to come expecting to know what to do!
If you love it and it is just what you wanted? Perfect! You get to choose 15 images in a totally private gallery and be on your way! You can add on one of our gorgeous books if you want. Super popular.
If you want more, even more perfect! We can set up a full session for you! 4-5 looks, hair and make up and really customize it for you!
These will take place:
January 19th, January 22nd, January 27th
$300 includes 15 digital files

To me, boudoir is suggestive, inspired by fashion, and in every way about the subject and in now way about me as a photographer.
Rochester NY Wedding Giveaway | Rochester, NY Wedding Photographer
We are having so much fun spreading the word about our give away! We wanted to share all the info. Have you entered to win yet???
This fall when we were discussing our yearly GIVE we tossed around the idea of giving away wedding photography. I think every holiday season all those feelings of gratitude over come us. We really feel lucky, blessed, and truly thankful to get to do what we love and support our families all at the same time. We don't always have cash to give, but we do have our photography skills! We seriously enjoy having the opportunity to share it as much as we can.
It seems the universe was ready and waiting. That night I chatted with my friend Karen, Dolce Amica Event Planning and Design. She was feeling bummed because she had really wanted to reach out to a story she had seen on the local news, but couldn't find a way to. She really wanted to give someone her services and truly help a local bride.
Well that began the snow ball of Love Your Story Rochester. Karen and Paul and I began talking with our wedding vendor friends and it grew into something truly incredible!!
We have now been accepting love stories since Thanksgiving and we love reading them.
You have until January 1st to submit yours! www.loveyourstoryrochester.com
Go to the website, check out all the amazing vendors involved, see what you can win!
But most importantly, during this season, when we are all so truly lucky, give. Whatever you can! I know it isn't always money. BUT you do have time? Even if it is giving to someone you know. Helping? Reading a book? It spreads. We all know it does.
Happy Holidays to all our amazing clients and clients to come!
Give when you can! Love is all you need.
XOXO,
Chelse

James and Binita- Woodcliff Wedding
Love is patient love is kind.
So many people choose this as the reading at thier wedding. I love hearing it. Love hearing the speeches.
This day totally fell into place. It didn't have to. It was off and on crazy rain and storms. BUT it just all worked out.
Rain is luck on a wedding day..although I don't think this couple will need it.
