Across the Miles

My dad lives many, many miles away.  The last time we traveled to his house for a visit was more than five years ago.  We have seen them a handful of times since then, but we don’t get to see him and his family very often. We were missing only a couple of family members. […]

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

When this family walked up for the mini-session, my heart leaped a little bit.  Look at how perfectly coordinated their outfits are.  I need to hire Samantha to meet with all of my clients before their sessions and teach them how to coordinate without being too matchy-matchy.  The different patterns and textures looked great.   […]

Tennesse Aquarium

This past weekend, we packed up our suitcases once again, hopped on another airplane and traveled down to visit my dad and his family in Georgia.  It was the second time in two weeks that we took a trip to visit one of our parents that required flying.  We also brought my brother along too, […]

Bethany Chase | Buffalo, NY Wedding Photographer

This wedding was gorgeous from beginning to end.  Brooke and Sean were some of the most fun, loving and kind people I have photographed a wedding for.  Brooke’s natural beauty made my job easy–not to mention incredibly fun.  We ventured around downtown Buffalo and hung out on Main Street for awhile.  The reception was held […]

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

 I was thrilled when this little boy’s parents brought something to personalize his mini-session.  I am good friends with them (they are having a baby next week!!) and I know that Tobias has to move bedrooms to make room for his new baby sister.  His parents are planning on decorating his new bedroom with some […]

Hanging On

I was surprised when I stepped outside after Carter’s nap, sat on the front steps with him to eat a snack and read some books, and I started sweating.  I guess my mind had shifted already into fall mode, when really, I am actually rushing it a bit.  Not on purpose.  While I love fall […]

Bethany Chase | Rochester, NY Baby Photographer

Not a newborn anymore. . . onto infant-hood.  Zoe was ten weeks old, very alert and totally interested inthe world.  Her parents were wonderful helpers and tried everything they knew how to do to get Zoe to smile. I gave them an A for effort and told them that they could come around anytime to […]

Mommy Daycare

The boys are once again all mine for the day.  It was like an old familiar friend . . . but sort of like one that I didn’t want to welcome back.  There is nothing like the love between a mom and her children–but it’s just a whole lot more fun and much easier when […]
