I love capturing families outdoors as a Penfield family photographer because it allows for so much movement and joy and playfulness. Kids can run free, and the whole family can enjoy a breath of fresh air.

My favorites from this family photography session all happened to be in black and white. To me, the images feel so timeless. I only hope that this family enjoys looking back at this beautiful fall morning for years and years as their sweet, adventurous kiddos grow up and have many more adventures.

As a Rochester maternity photographer, it brings me so much joy to capture new life. This session embodied that in more than one way. Bridget glowed, awaiting the arrival of her sweet boy, while the freshly bloomed daffodils swayed in the spring breeze.

There is nothing quite like being a family photographer in Rochester and capturing the most precious moments for families, but add in a gorgeous, sunny day and the most adorable little girl who will soon be the best big sister, and it really doesn’t get better than that.
