And here is my Will, my very own senior, and two of his special friends. Just a quick session in the studio to grab a yearbook photo. Such cuties…all three of them.

Family Fun Winter Session | Rochester NY Photographer
I have so many recent sessions that I have not shared, and I am thrilled to start doing so more. I spent a Sunday morning in December with this wonderful family and their puppy. We had a beautiful day, and took advantage of the sun inside and out. We spent lots of time inside their lovely light-filled home and then walked across the street from the family’s home to a college campus. Thanks, Maria!
Flashback Friday | Canandaigua Family Portraits
We’re on for Week 4. I’d so love to hear from this wonderful family again. I photographed the whole extended crew over the holidays back in 2006.
So, here is the deal with Flasback Fridays…. On Fridays in 2010, I am posting an image or two from a past session. They could be as recent as the week before or from 2006, my first year in business. No names will be provided, but if you spot yourself or your kiddo in the Friday Flashback, drop me a quick email to claim a complementary 8×10 of the image and a gift certificate for $50 toward a future session for yourself or to pass along to family or friends. Be sure to check back every week, as you must be in touch before the next Friday to qualify for the photo and certificate (that email needs to reach me by midnight on Thursday). You can check the blog or, to get a reminder each week, become a Facebook Fan of Laura Brophy Photography, which has a feed from the blog.
And what if I don’t post on a Friday? The first person to email me with a friendly reminder on Saturday receives a $50 gift certificate toward a session for their immediate family’s use. (Sorry, this one can’t be passed along.) You are only eligible to receive this award once in 2010.
A few details to keep in mind: Only one certificate may be redeemed per session. The certificate must be used within 1 year from the Flashback Friday in which the image appeared and may be applied towards a wedding, family or senior session. There will be few “black out” special mini session dates for which you may not apply the Flashback Friday certificate. Those will be noted when posted. Certificates may not be sold and have no cash value.

Almost forgot, but here we go with Week 3 of Flashback Friday. On Fridays in 2010, I am posting an image or two from a past session. Fun for you, and fun for me.

The View | Canandaigua NY photographer
I continue to take more shots just for me, with a real focus on capturing the everyday world of my family and community. I will put these all together in some sort of gallery, really I will. But here’s a quick one from early Saturday morning, our one morning with beautiful clear skies. This is the view from my living room window of the beautiful, historic Ontario County Court House.

Loving the break in weather | Canandaigua photographer
I really needed this weekend. Took the puppy and R out to play in a big field and enjoy the break in the weather. We met a bunch of neighborhood dogs, and some new neighbors too.

Flashback Friday
I am happy to introduce Flashback Friday. On Fridays in 2010, I’m going to post an image or two from a past session. Fun for you, and fun for me.

In your heart
It’s been a bit over a year now since my dad died at the age of 68 after a five-year battle with multiple myeloma. At his service, my sister Tara shared a poem that she had written for the grandchildren. The service was amazing - a perfect send-off and celebration - but it was Tara’s poem that left us all in tears. Good tears. But tears nonetheless.
For some time, Tara and I had gone back and forth about how to make the poem into a book - for the kids and for ourselves. And finally, for Christmas, we did it, using dad’s beautiful photos and lots of ours too. We invite you into this special book — In Your Heart, by Tara Sweeney Capoor.
The cover photo was taken by my father, William J. Sweeney, at the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens in Boothbay, Maine, in 2007.
Just for me
Back to those new year’s “commitments” I mentioned earlier in the week. An important one reads as follows: “Capture beauty, details, and emotion in images, just for me.” As I looked back through my images for 2009, I found lots of great images, but almost all were taken for someone else, for some specific purpose.
I considered attempting to do a 365 project - an image a day, every day. Usually it involves capturing, processing and uploading an image every day - and that is just not going to happen. So instead, I am making a point to grab images when I can, to have a camera with me on drives or when doing the everyday stuff, and to stop when I see something that grabs me, whether it be magical light, interesting clouds, or something funny the kids are doing. And it doesn’t need to be with the serious cameras. The point and shoot or my phone camera will work too.
I haven’t figured out how and where I may share these. I’m throwing them up here and there for the time being, but I will get it all organized as some point.
The scene above was shot this morning on a drive in the Macedon area of Wayne County, with my Canon G10. I was struck by the old windmill, and the interesting contrast to the high-tech wind turbines I’d seen yesterday south of Naples.
