Our Portrait Experience is crafted for families who choose timeless over trendy, heritage over hype, and depth over volume.

Our work is never rushed or trendy. We don’t photograph ten families in a day. Instead, we focus on one family at a time, giving our full attention to every detail.

Because we believe your story deserves nothing less.

Our Signature Senior Experience isn’t your typical senior portrait session. It’s a celebration of who they’ve become and who they’re becoming.

Based in Western New York, we create a session that captures your senior’s story with purpose, beauty, and authenticity resulting in artwork as meaningful as this milestone.

If your favorite things are the ones that get better with age; the wine, the leather, the memories made over decades, this is for you.

A family legacy doesn't live on a screen. It lives in the hands of those who come after us. Wall Art and Designer Books are more than photographs, they're family heirlooms. They say “we were here, together.”

Meet Neal & Danielle... For 15 years, we’ve had the honor of documenting love stories and weddings around the world. Today, we're telling the next chapter, the family legacy.

For the Intentional, Stylish Mother.

Our women clients lead with poise and live with purpose. She's the soul of the home, balancing sophistication and compassion, and always crafting moments that matter. Whether she's in classic Ralph Lauren or wrapped in flowy Zimmermann florals, she chooses timelessness, nottrends.

She's attracted to things that wear as beautifully as they look:
Ralph Lauren • Jenni Kayne • Veronica Beard • Tuckernuck • La Ligne • Doen • LoveShackFancy • Tory Burch • Sezane • Hill House Home • J. McLaughlin • Frances Valentine

Her house is no exception. Carefully curated with brands like Serena & Lily, McGee & Co., Amber Interiors, Restoration Hardware, Pottery Barn, William Sonoma and family heirloom touches that speak of where she's come from.

She's not just booking an appointment. She's living her family's legacy with intention, refinement, and love.

For the Legacy-Minded Father.

Our clients are fathers who cherish tradition, quality, and the moments that are truly most meaningful. He's a man who works hard, leads unobtrusively, and arrives whole for the people he loves. His style is classic, bespoke, and effortlessly elegant. Always ready to play a round of golf at the club or enjoy a cocktail at the lake house.

He invests in timeless quality. In what he wears, the house he builds, and the photos he keeps. He wears:
Peter Millar • Billy Reid • Rodd & Gunn • Ralph Lauren • Barbour • Faherty • Brooks Brothers • Rhone • Mizzen+Main • Brunello Cucinelli

He'll be where there's careful and thoughtful curation. Designer bookends on the counter, monogrammed glasses, specially ordered framed pictures on the wall. Quality above everything to him.

Photography for him isn't about posing in front of the camera, but being present in the story that his family will tell for generations to come.

For the Timeless & Refined Teen

Teen portrait clients are teens who walk more confidently than their years. Shepherded with intent, they manage class, sport, and social schedules with aplomb. Whether they're on the lacrosse field, off to regattas, or rehearsing for band.

Their wardrobes mix classic essentials with subtle trend:
Ralph Lauren • J.Crew • Vineyard Vines • Rowing Blazers • Faherty • Brooks Brothers • Kiel James Patrick • Lacoste • Tuckernuck • Reformation (females)

They attend schools where tradition still matters. Our shoots are created to honor that heritage with substance and style. It's not about the photo, it's about keeping this defining season elegant and meaningful.

For the Effortlessly Cool Coastal Teen

Our sessions showcase teens who are fashionably individual. Unfussy, creative, and expressive. Theirs is an effortless yet elegant style thatcombines comfort with beach chic, and is always camera-ready without having to try.

Her must-haves can come from:
Aritzia • Free People • Madewell • Abercrombie • Lululemon • Hill House Home

His go-to brands are likely:
Vuori • Polo • Faherty • Lululemon • Outerknown • TravisMathew • Abercrombie

Whether riding Seaside streets on boards or grabbing smoothies after a beach fire, these sessions are about capturing them exactly as they are now: relaxed, confident, and unforgettable.

Made to Belong

Our clients don't just hang photos, they create art for their homes. Their spaces are layered with intention: texture, tone, and timeless pieces that add significance. We create portraiture made to flourish beautifully among these walls.

From Hamptons sun-splashed beach houses to traditional Greenwich mansions, Lake Tahoe rustic mountain cabins to Serena & Lily-inspired coastal cottages. Every home has a history. And your portraits need to feel perfectly at home there.

We work with clients to design paintings that will fit their décor and room, from dramatic gallery walls to nicely matted groupings in the family room. We consider everything: scale, framing, tones, and light.

We offer museum-quality prints and stylish books that beautifully blend into homes with:
McGee & Co. • Serena & Lily • Amber Interiors • Mark D. Sikes • One Kings Lane • Studio McGee • Schumacher • Pottery Barn • Ralph Lauren Home • Bungalow 5 • Restoration Hardware

Our process is individual, collaborative, and inspiring. We ensure that your artwork is not just significant, but beautifully woven into your everyday life.
