Bethany Chase | Rochester, NY Children’s Mini-Session Photographer

Red hair and blue eyes.  Can you say gorgeous? I can’t wait to see what a beauty this little munchkin is going to turn into when she enters childhood.  She was so happy during our session.  And she giggles the most for her daddy ๐Ÿ™‚

Bethany Chase | Rochester, NY Family Mini-Session Photographer

For one whole school year, I babysat these two little munchkins.  They were my first son’s best friends and nearly like siblings.  We went to their house almost everyday for eight hours.  I grew to love them dearly.   Now they are growing far too big, too fast, just like my own son.  They no […]

Families love that I don’t limit how many outfit changes you can do.  I love that this mom brought a million outfits for her little girl.  There is a such a fun variety to a session when there are different clothes involved. And even more when you do some inside and some outside.   This […]

Our Year: A Story in Pictures

Capturing the daily beauty in our lives is something that I strive to do.  Often, I forget.  Not positive that I am up for the full challenge this coming year, but one of these years I want to do a Project 365. . . taking at least ONE picture every day.  Doesn’t sound all that […]

Bethany Chase | Rochester, NY Baby Photographer

Yes, this baby did have his shirt off.  In December.  In Rochester.   It was almost seventy degrees on the day of his session.  And his momma and I were going to take that for all it was worth.   I loved this little guy.  He was mellow and had twinkly eyes.  And he reminded […]

O Holy Night

I have so much to be thankful for Christmas this year.  I know thankfulness is usually a term that is synonymous with Thanksgiving. . . but I am finding myself being more thankful now.  Now that I find my world isn’t spinning around in chaos.  In the past thirty days, we have been part of […]

Bethany Chase | Rochester, NY Family Mini-Session Photographer

I met this family this past August for a different session.  Their littlest was stung by a bee right at the beginning of our session ๐Ÿ™  It was terrible–and I’m glad that they came back to visit for another session even after the traumatic experience of their first session!  Bridget was a little concerned as […]

Bethany Chase | Rochester, NY: Handsome Little Man Mini-Session Photographer

This little guy ran away from me for the first five minutes of his session.  So we loosened him up a bit by throwing pinecones and seeing how fast he could run ๐Ÿ™‚  Then he let loose some real smiles–plus, I think he was having a good time, so that always makes it more enjoyable […]

Bethany Chase | Rochester, NY Children’s Mini-Session Photographer

These two adorable girls are the nieces of my very good friend, Jami.  Their momma was a little sad that she missed out on the mini-sessions that I held in August, so she was sure to grab a slot in my November sessions.  She did the session as a surprise for her husband for Christmas, […]

Mindy’s Reminder

One of my Facebook friends has twin boys.  Her Facebook status the other day read I just decorated a batch of cookies with the boys.  Somehow, I imagined that going so much better in my head.   So when Brayden asked if we could make our annual “gingerbread project”, I laughed in my head about […]
