Flashback Friday | Rochester Family Photographer

I’m starting to get inquiries for Fall family sessions, and I’ll have the October schedule up and running by August 5th. Really, truly, I will. It seemed only fitting to pick an image from last Fall’s Mini Sessions, to get folks in the mood for some fall color. I’m afraid that it’s just around the corner.

This is Simon.  I loved photographing his family, and I am so sad they have moved to Colorado. While I’ve never shared their images on the blog, I do have an amazing sample album in the studio from their session, and every time clients get to the page with this photo, they smile HUGE. I’ll post more from the session later this week when I post details for this fall’s sessions.  In the meanwhile, send me an email using the CONTACT link above and I’ll send you more info.

As for Flashback Friday, it’s a 2010 deal I’ve made with my readers. Look back to the earlier months of the year for the details, if you care to see them.

A Quiet Afternoon at Home | Rochester NY Family Photographer

OK, so maybe not so quiet.  But oh so fun!

As my winter hiatus winds down, I had the great pleasure of photographing this lovely, energetic young family, just a typical Sunday afternoon at home.  I love sessions where we just play and hang together, read books, talk pirate, capturing sweet expressions and relationships, eating grapes, and having lots of fun along the way.  Meet Amy and Jimmy and their two little boys.

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!

More fabulous faces of the Class of 2010

sweet_16-seniors-webThe march toward graduation continues for the Class of 2010, as seniors settle on colleges, scramble to meet deadlines, and eagerly await decisions. The Class of 2010 will always have a special place in my heart. Many of those I photographed are classmates, friends, and swimming colleagues of my son Will.

Oh, and I am playing with this template again.  I am considering offering this Sweet 16 Collage as a 20×20 in my product offerings this year.  What do you think?

P.S. I love it when a friend, sibling, parent, boyfriend or girlfriend jump into a few frames during a senior session.  I love them, and seniors do too.  (Just one extra person though with a senior session, and just for a few minutes.  For groups of friends and families beyond one sibling, we need to book a separate or extended session!)

Thank you for an amazing year!

sweet_16-2009-webLong ago, I abandoned the New Year’s resolution concept. I always came up with some rigid, crazy goals that weren’t really sustainable. Once I slipped up, I would feel like I’d failed and give up. And it usually happened some time before the end of January. So last year, I decided to approach the new year a little differently, by considering the life I want, celebrating what I am doing well and thinking about what changes will get me closer to living the full life I imagine for myself and my family. It works way better for me.

On my list for this year is to SAY THANK YOU MORE AND BETTER.

It was a great year for Laura Brophy Photography thanks to the many wonderful clients who invited me into their lives to capture them in images.

I loved working with the many families of 2009 who commissioned me to chronicle their relationships and sweet faces at a moment in time. I worked with families from around the Rochester region. I chronicled the generations for extended families from near and far. I captured portraits of families vacationing in the lovely Finger Lakes. And I traveled to Atlanta in April for a wonderful weekend of sessions with some very special families. Thank you!

And I also really enjoy my work with high school seniors. Together, we captured so many beautiful, unique images. A special thanks to my seniors from Canandaigua Academy, Bloomfield High School, Newark High School, Honeoye Falls Lima (HFL)High School, Honeoye High School, Mercy High School, Fairport High School, and Victor High School.

My heartfelt thanks goes to all for your business and for the opportunity to get to spend time with you in 2009.  I wish you all the best in 2010!
