The Senior cutoff for 2020 has long since come and gone, but I had been hoping to do a spontaneous snowy session for a long time now! The stars aligned that we were able to plan the perfect just-for-fun-snowy-session at the last minute! Paige, you make it look effortless! You are such a beauty on the inside and out! It was such a joy doing this session with you!! Good luck with the end of senior year and all the amazing things your future holds. <3 Are you looking for a Winter wonderland photo session in the Rochester/Victor, NY area? Send me an email and I will reach out during last minute snowy opportunities to try coordinate with you! :)
And Juniors! I'm already booking Seniors class of 2021. Reach out early for best availability (and ask about info on being a Senior Rep!!)

When Adriana called me a month after her beautiful wedding, I couldn't even image the exciting news she was about to share with me. She was pregnant!! And Mychal didn’t know yet!! Facetiming her and seeing the pure, ecstatic joy on her face was such a special moment to me. I felt truly honored to be one of the first to learn this amazing news and was simply thrilled for one of my all time favorite couples! I had a surprise to share with Adriana, too... I was pregnant as well! And no one else knew! We had both only found out a day or two before we talked, and are due the same week in June! What a once-in-a-lifetime phone call!! <3 During our chat Adriana revealed her adorable plot to surprise Mychal with the big news. We decided to fabricate a photo shoot and to pretend that I had reached out to her requesting they model for me as I did a portfolio-building-photo shoot. Poor Mychal probably severely resented me haha- he had showed up to the session after taking a red-eye the night before, and after taking 1000 wedding photos less than a month prior. He probably thought we were nuts. But man, was he a trooper! I’ve said before that the love these two have is truly special, and it shone through once again at our ‘couples session meandering through the park’. ;) At the end of the session I (well, really Adriana!!) had ‘one last idea to try’ .... and the rest is history! ![]() The Surprise! I told Adriana and Mychal to write three things they love about their spouse and to reveal it on the count of three... I love how happy he is here - and he has no idea! Truly. the best secret I've ever been in on!! <3 The sweetness is overwhelming. You two have moved beyond clients and are permanently lodged in my heart. So happy for you guys and Ellie!!! Cannot wait to meet your bound-to-be-gorgeous baby (just a few months away!!). So much love to you! Looking to capture your own pregnancy announcement? I'd love to dream up a session with you!! But watch out, because I feel big feels and will probably tear up while photographing it ;)
It's no secret I love lifestyle sessions. Capturing a family in the place they love most brings the warmest, most genuine portraits. I always find lifestyle sessions seem to tell the full story - a snapshot at this moment in time. So when some of my best friends had a baby, I couldn't wait to worm my way into their home to capture all the sweetness. And let me tell you, Tessa's brought such sweetness. Smith Family, we are all so beyond thrilled for you. Tessa is such a perfect to your already rad little family. I look forward to worming my way into your home for many more family sessions in the future. But for now, please enjoy some highlights. All the warmth you guys show, and all the details brought me to tears over and over while editing. We love you guys!! A few little sneak's from Tessa's studio session To add even more to the story, here are a few maternity portraits of Katie right before she had Tessa. It was so special to then take the newborn pictures in the same location. And, side note, Katie's hydrangea is killin' it!! Looking for a lifestyle newborn, maternity, or family photographer in the Victor, NY area? I'd love to chat with you about a portrait session that would make your heart sing :)
First Birthday Party Photography | Pittsford, NY Family Photographer | Riaan turns One! :)8/14/2017 This summer has nearly whizzed by and I didn't want it to end without sharing some special first birthday moments that I had the pleasure of capturing! My time with Riaan and his family was such a joy! Friends and family had traveled from all over to help celebrate this adorable birthday boy! It was evident how very loved this little one is! <3 Before the party began, we were able to document all his wonderful family with a few portraits of each family member with the birthday boy- aunts, grandparents, great uncles - everyone had their time to cuddle! Mom and dad had a few quiet minutes with Riaan (and their pup!) , and OF COURSE, our favorite new one year old had his own little portrait session! It was such an honor (and truly so much fun!) to capture all the laughter, music, details, and cake smashes that made this day so special! Happy, happy birthday to the cutest first birthday boy around!! Looking for a portrait photographer in the Victor, NY area to capture the sweet moments and special details of your little one's birthday party? I'm always excited to help make this their BEST BIRTHDAY EVER!! :) Give me a shout! :) Victor, NY Maternity Photographer | A Stylized Session at The Arbor Loft and George Eastman3/15/2017 When looking for a maternity photographer, you probably wouldn’t expect one to call you up out of the blue and ask you to model your gorgeous baby bump. But that’s exactly what happened to this beautiful pregnant mama! I first met Steph about two months ago at her first visit to our church. I immediately loved her friendly personality and knew she was a keeper when she shared that her baby girl’s name will be Rosie (for those of you who don’t know- that’s MY baby girl’s name! Great minds!!) So, when a few Rochester photog friends and I dreamed up a customized, collaborative session ( a la The Rising Tide Society), I just knew Steph was meant to be our model! After looking through the images of this beautiful expecting mama- I know you’ll agree! Are you expecting? Looking for a beautiful, unique Maternity session? Know someone who's pregnant and want to give them THE perfect gift?? Let's chat!! Collaboration with : Emi Rose Studios, Mischief and Laughs Photography, Danielle Ramirez Photography, Diana Kapatos Photography Hair and Makeup: Bombshell Beauty by Juli Antonucci Nails: My Manicure by Bri
As you probably know, I am a Victor NY newborn photographer who ADORES capturing baby sweetness all around the greater Rochester area. The toes, the curls, the cheeks, the squishy lips- I could forever gush about all the details! Let’s face it, half of my love of newborn photography comes from my absolute adoration of baby snuggles! What many expecting parents may not realize is the amount of care, study, and precaution Lovebug Photography puts into ensuring baby’s comfort and safety throughout our session. I have spent countless hours researching, learning, and practicing the safest ways to pose and photograph your precious baby. As a mama myself, I view photographing newborn sessions as great honor for many reasons, and your trust in me is the top of that list! One of the ways I have recently invested in providing the safest experience for you is attending a newborn workshop in NYC hosted by Blissful Baby Workshops. These experienced newborn photographers travel all around the country teaching posing safety and other skills related to creating a wonderful newborn photography experience. Here’s a sneak at some of the images taken at the workshop. I hope you enjoy! I’m excited to continue to put what I've learned in place for all my future newborn sessions! Looking for a newborn photographer in the Victor, NY area? Interested in a full-service, boutique experience? Excited to display heirloom-quality artwork throughout your home? I would love to chat with you and dream up your perfect portrait session!
