6 Month Portraits | Rochester, NY Modern Baby & Child Photographer

Another one of my favorite families was back for portraits this weekend! We've worked together for their wedding, maternity, family, newborn, and now 6 month portraits! The great thing about building a relationship is you get a truly custom session each time. I think about backgrounds and props we've used before and what we can do different next time to keep it fresh. And we can chat on Facebook about session and clothes ideas, which is always fun. :-) I love a well planned out session, it makes such a difference!!

Mom brought tons of fun stuff for this cutie's session. Outfits and HATS (yay!).

A few of my favorites...





Haha, hysterical!


Hope you enjoy the preview so far, talk to you soon!!

1-1/2 Year Portraits | Rochester, NY Modern Child Photographer

A familiar face to any blog reader, this little guy's family had some portraits done a few weeks ago on a gorgeous fall day. Now it was his turn to shine for his studio mini-session!

Now you know that kids, especially boys, that are 1-3 years old do NOT sit still!
Sit on this stool.... no, climb on this stool! lol


(How do you like the wood floor?? I think it's a great addition to the studio and I LOVE it with the black backdrop. So lushy and gorgeous!!)

We've worked together lots of times now, so this time mom came prepared with a laptop & movie. He just SAT THERE and watched, it was amazing!! And right on cue, he laughed at the funny parts. Adorable!


Hey lady, stop making animal noises, you're interrupting my movie!


We moved him to the big trunk, which he loved.


An outfit change and unfortunately the laptop battery died, so we just got a few more quick shots!


It was a total sucess, and we didn't even break a sweat! I might reconsider the puppet and get a laptop, lol.

Which puppet should I get?

I really need to add a puppet to the studio for getting kids attention while I'm shooting so I started shopping around and I'm so torn on which one! There are sooo many different kinds. People, animals, cute monsters....

So I'm counting on you to vote for your favorite! Pole is located on the right side of the screen!! Pole will close SATURDAY AT MIDNIGHT so vote soon!!!!

1 Year Portraits | Rochester, NY Modern Child Photographer

About 2 weeks before Ben's big arrival into the world, a friend of my mom, who I've known forever, asked if she could bring her daughter-in-law and new grand baby over for some photos. I was officially on maternity leave but that's the advantage of knowing the photographer, you can sneak in anyways :-)

That beautiful little girl was back today because somehow she turned ONE yesterday! Her mommy & I have become good friends and we get together often. It's so awesome to watch her learning new stuff, and giving me a preview of what's to come with Ben.

A few of my favorites from today:




This was a shot from her first session (at 9 weeks old) that her mommy loved and ordered in a canvas (canvas pieces are amazing, make sure you check them out at your next session):


And she requested to recreate it today, I love it:


We ended the session on a high note with her totally cracking up at something on this chair:


It was fun girls, see you soon!!!

Family Portraits | Rochester, NY Modern Family Photographer

My friend Chelse and I exchanged quick family portrait session for each other a few days ago! We always joke how we're like the house painter whose house is a disaster... we take all of your great photos, but our own fall by the wayside. So we were glad to sneak in a few at least!

A few of my favorites from their session... if you're a friend on Facebook you've already seen some of these. And if you're not a friend on Facebook- find me! Search Denyse Clark.






Stepping out of my regular work, I'm off to do a corporate group shot downtown!! New post tomorrow!
