Bethany Chase Photography | Buffalo, NY Senior Portrait Photographer

It’s no secret . . . I LOVE most aspects of photography, but I’m not particularly keen on senior portraits.  I’m not confident enough with the posing yet.  My comfort level is about where I was with ANY kind of session my first year of photography.  But I know that I have grown since then, […]

Keeping Up the Pace

I think October will be different.  In September, I tried my very hardest to have a post every day.  In the blog world, it’s easy to cheat and write two or three posts at once–then have them set to be published at a designated time.  I took advantage of that feature nearly the entire month. […]

Bethany Chase Photography | Rochester, NY Children’s Photographer

Oh. My. Word.  This may be the most adorable three siblings I have ever seen in my life. The entire session I just kept giggling because I could barely handle how cute they were.  Also, they were so incredibly behaved the entire time that they really made my job pretty easy.  I hope to see […]

Need a good laugh?? . . .

This is for anyone that had a bad Monday and needs to start Tuesday off with a laugh.   Sorry James for the utter humiliation that you are probably enduring at this exact moment.   Halloween 2003.  Two months after we were married.

This was such a unique family session.  I have a friend who loves my photography.  I have photographed both her children’s weddings and she has gotten me many, many referrals.  I have grown to love and be loved by all of her family and friends.   One of her best friends, she refers to as […]

Bethany Chase | Rochester, NY Cake Smash Photographer

Ella and her family came to visit me for Ella’s first birthday portraits.  One of the options I offer is a cake smash portion of the session after we do some regular photos first.  Ella’s parents also wanted a few family pictures and a couple of their son as well. Ella approached her cake smash […]

September Summer

Just when I thought Fall had arrived, with our forty degree morning temperatures, Summer decided to jab a couple of elbows, get in position, and box out Autumn for another week.  Last week, I organized the boy’s clothes, and left all but three or four pairs of shorts out for each of them.  I guess […]

Bethany Chase | Rochester, NY Baby Photographer

Miss Emily is four months old now!  You can see her newborn pictures here.  We had a perfect September day for her session.  Warm enough to not have to dress her in too many pieces of clothing, but not so hot that we were uncomfortable.  My fabulous friend, Carrie, let us use her amazing yard […]

Bethany Chase | Rochester, NY Newborn Photographer

I don’t think I could ever tire of photographing newborns.  Sure, it’s the hardest type of session that I do.  Sure, it takes about two and a half times longer than a regular session.  And sure, I end up with pee and poop everywhere.  But there is just something about a brand new little human. […]
