Bethany Chase | Holiday Mini-Sessions

What a compliment it is when a family that you’ve already done a photo shoot for passes your name along and you get a call from a new family!  The Burns family ventured out in the snowy morning to have some Christmas pictures taken–great to see some new faces!

There’s nothing like doing photo shoots in the winter, when it’s thirty degrees and snowing.  I did some last minute mini-shoots on Saturday morning and wow, was it COLD!  Sure made it feel like the Christmas season 🙂   Here are some shots from my first family of the day.  What a handsome charmer this […]

December’s Whisper

December snuck up on me like a whisper.  It’s summer and then all of a sudden I’m driving to pick up Brayden from preschool and it’s a winter wonderland.  I don’t think I’m the only one who feels this way. . . I went out for coffee with some other ladies last night and I’m […]

Growin’ Up Fast . . . and Happy Birthday

I cannot even believe Brayden’s interest in letters right now.  He’s constantly talking about them and making their sounds.  Pointing them out all over the place.  And he is totally into trying to write them.  In the past few weeks, his interest in anything that has to do with coloring, drawing and crafty kind of […]

I nearly can’t handle the cuteness of all these adorable babies coming my way.  And all the gorgeous families!  These mini-sessions have been a blast. . . hopefully it will be a yearly tradition.  So glad that I was able to photography these good friends of ours.  I am thankful that we were finally able […]

Bethany Chase | Holiday Mini-Sessions

I was super excited to do pictures of a family with older kids.  I love shooting little kids. . . they are always adorable.  But it was really refreshing not to have to make a fool out of myself behind the camera to get them to smile.  And isn’t this family gorgeous?  Three beautiful girls. […]

Bethany Chase | Holiday Mini-Sessions

It’s always nice to get lucky and have a gorgeous day when you are scheduled to do sessions.  On Saturday I was supposed to have four!  But it was FREEZING and horribly windy.  I ended up canceling three of them since there were going to be wee babies involved.  But my dear Encina friends braved […]

Bethany Chase | Rochester, NY Baby Photographer

I nearly died when this little baby’s momma took him out of his car seat and he gave me the biggest baby smile I have ever seen in my life.  His whole face lit up.  Talk about seriously cute.  Seriously.   Here are some favorites from the session–although seriously, this child was so photogenic that […]

Mornings with Mommy

Some mornings are full of agenda items for us.  Brayden has school twice a week for a couple hours, we often have appointments. . . sometimes there is MOPS.  But I treasure the days when we have nothing on the schedule.  We can just sit home, hang out and be lazy.   I need those […]

The First of Them

The First Christmas toy of the season has made it out of the attic.  Last year at this time, we definitely had our whole house decorated.  We’re a little behind in the game this year–adding a second child and a home business to the plate makes little wiggle room in the free time department.  But […]
