CA Senior Ball | Finger Lakes Photographer

After six straight years of proms and balls for the two big kids, we are DONE.  At least for seven years.  Will and Sarah looked fabulous, and we had a great, relaxed photoshoot at the Zahn’s cottage, overlooking the boats from the yacht club.  I’ll post more photos of the whole group and families on Facebook for anyone interested!

Flashback Friday | Canandaigua Senior Portraits

I missed last Friday and got called on it!  Congratulations Cathy!!!  I couldn’t be happier to send you that gift certificate and photograph Courtney!

So this is officially Week 13 of Flashback Friday, with one of my favorites of the beautiful, original Chloe.

And 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.

Flashback Friday | Canandaigua Senior Portrait Photographer

Week 11 of Flashback Friday.  I am getting ready to open the books for the Class of 2011, and I’m having a blast looking through sessions from recent years to update my web site.  The calendar will open on April 3rd for Class of 2011 sessions, with some really great early booking specials.  So stay tuned…

In the meanwhile, here’s my Flashback Friday image for the week — the beautiful and talented Emily, from the Class of 2009.  Love this shot, taken in her back yard, just before we were hit with a downpour.

CA and Mercy Take the Court


After a long two days at the pool, we made our way to the spectacular new facility at Gates Chili High School to see the Canandaigua and Mercy girls play in sectional competition.  I found a great spot right under the net, and right in between the two teams, solving the stress I was having about loyalties.  I cheered for both teams and great play.  I had girls on both teams whose senior portraits I had done, and it was great to see them play.  Congratulations to Mercy on the win. It was a hard loss for the Canandaigua girls with key players injured on the side.

Congrats Will!

Congratulations to Will and all the CA swimmers and divers on an excellent state meet.  Will swam in finals for both his individual events, placing 7th in the 200 free and 8th in the 100.  Will, Kyle, Pat and Eric placed 6th in the 200 free relay.  And the 400 free relay of Will, Kyle, Pat, and Nick swam in the consolation heat and set a new CA record.  I’ll edit more photos soon, but here’s one to celebrate Will’s last day of high school swimming.  To see more CA swimming photos, visit the CA Swimming and Diving Shutterfly Share Site.

I am so incredibly proud of Will and all the effort that he has put into being an outstanding student-athlete.  I am looking forward to seeing the next chapter unfold as he heads to Harvard.
