This beautiful little girl was such a doll…and looked like one too! Nora totally reminded me of dolls I had as a kid! …and yes I did want to take her home! Her personality was so sweet and so sleepy! There was one sweet story that her mommy told me about one particular outfit she had brought….”my grandma made me this beautiful outfit to bring our children home from the hospital. At the time I was just out of high school!! I said to her…Grandma I’m not even married!” Her grandma replied, “I know, but my time may be short and making this for my great-grandchildren is important to me. Quilting is a part of me!” The time came for them to bring home their children home from the hospital and even though their great-grandma had passed many years prior she was still with them through memories with this outfit. I’m sure she would be pleased at the adorable images we captured of Nora her creation! Nora seemed to like the outfit as she was comfy enough to sleep right through the whole thing!

We recently had a really fun opportunity to photograph the seniors of the Penfield High School lacrosse teams! I was extremely excited about this shoot going into it, but I had NO idea what was in store! Into our studio walk car loads of LAX players with all their gear…the studio didn’t seem as big to us anymore! The goal for this shoot was to get a really unique team shot for their school magazine. The master mind behind this was Clay Girauard, a very talented graphic designer, who art directed and helped to create this awesome team poster. The poster is in the lacrosse team program which Clay also designed! The short story is that the shoot was full of laughs and we even came up with “photograph Fridays” where they want to come back every Friday for pictures! Fun idea but not sure how that would exactly work out! Strike a pose! HAHAHA! 

To the Penfield LAX team: You guys were hilarious!! I honestly didn’t stop laughing the entire time!! …a great group which made me really excited to jump into this year’s senior picture season!! We wish you the absolute best of luck in this season!! 

Awwww….my little brother is all grown up! Even though these aren’t YET engagement pictures it was so fun to get out and take some “couple” pictures of him and his beautiful girlfriend Amanda. We wanted to do something a little different so we came up with this fun vintage look…which they pulled off perfectly!! Amanda was such a ham in front of the camera! I LOVED it!! HAHA! Being the big sister its always difficult to see your baby brother dating….weird! ….and with all the crazies that we’ve met over the years we can now honestly say Amanda is the ONLY one that we would welcome with open arms into this family. It also takes a special person to get my mom’s sense of humor and to give it right back! Its so nice to see them so happy together!
To David and Amanda: I love you two! It was so much fun just getting to play! Being creative and not having any pressure shooting is so much fun for me…and if we get great images then yay but its more important for me to get rejuvenated as an artist! It was fun having you here for the weekend! Brooke was so sad to see you go and wanted “Uncle Davy and Amanda” to come back! See you guys in a few weeks!

We are so excited to announce our official studio grand opening celebration!!!!  The party will be held on Thursday April 29th from 4pm-7pm and will feature great food, wine tasting and we’ll be raffling off a ton of free door prizes!!! Make your plans now to stop by on your way home that evening!

Our grand opening party is a little late in coming as we moved from our old studio in the city to this new location in Pittsford last November. We decided to wait on the celebration until after the winter holiday season and the weather warmed up a little! Our studio is located on 50 State Street in Northfield Commons right off of Schoen Place and the canal in the Village of Pittsford. We have a map below for directions. 

For years we had looked in this plaza as we just feel so connected with the area, but the timing just wasn’t right. With lots of prayer everything just fell into place late last year. We thank God everyday for these blessings beyond measure and leading us down this path! Please come out to show your support. We would love to see everyone…plus there will be delicious food, wine tasting provided by Pittsford Wines and close to a dozen free prizes will be raffled off from local businesses.

All you need to do is show up….and when you arrive make sure you get your free raffle ticket!  

…that’s what little boys are made of! It wasn’t too long ago that Sara was in the studio for her beautiful maternity pictures. Now she is back and this time we were lucky enough to welcome baby Dominic into the world! He is a spitting image of his rough and tough daddy…even down to the scowl! The session was hilarious with dad joking around and wanting no part of the pictures! Once we kicked him out of the room to go watch TV, we got down to the naked baby business. HAHA! We ended up with beautiful pictures (even with dad ; ) and one of my favorites is now our newest studio sample of Sara and baby Dominic! 

To baby Dominic: I’m so excited to watch you grow over the next year with your upcoming Baby’s First Year Package sessions! You are one lucky kid to have such fun and loving parents! The jokester dad and a mommy with a huge heart is a perfect match…two parents that you cant help but want to be friends with!!
